cant allow counter-narrative messaging through by any means, including something as trivial as a downvote

They have to make sure that every person who doesn't agree with the coporate narrative thinks they're the only person in the world with their opinion. They want all unbelievers feeling totally isolated.

They want all unbelievers feeling totally isolated.

This is the best summary I've seen of this so far. It's not about making anyone feel better, it's about preventing dissenters from realizing how many of them there are. The ones behind this are still badly outnumbered, and it's one of the few things that truly frightens these creatures.

That's precisely what it's about.

They don't want people seeing the proof that they are not alone. They don't want the dissenters seeking eachother out.

Yeah. It's designed to make you think you're crazy for seeing reality. It's actual gaslighting - the term our lefty friends have been throwing around for years. Leftists always project.

YouTube has announced it will no longer show the amount of “dislikes” on videos, in a new move to “reduce targeted dislike attacks and their impact on creators”. Starting from today, users will no longer see a public dislike count, however they will still be able to register a thumbs down on the video for the uploader to view in private.

"It's to protect the creators' mental health!" Still shows the dislikes directly to the creators

Something something cutting out a man's tongue because you're afraid of what he may speak, etc.

Comment " DISLIKE" on videos and let people like your comment.

Good work around. Most channels who disable comments tend to remove the like/dislike bar as well and everyone always suspects that lol

More big tech censorship and removing democracy by our big tech overlords.

This happened the day after Disney put out that George Floyd Xmas Special trailer two days or so ago. It got ratio'ed hard and Disney must have made a call to remove the dislike button.

Really? I tried to find the video to help the ratio - it's gone

They likely scrubbed it and are going to re-launch now that the scary racist dislike button is gone.
