Love the part where Widowmaker yelled: “No one can hide from these skin prices” and started throwing out 26$ skin bundles

Good thing yt has ponied up to the corpos and removed the downvotes visibility. If not for that we could’ve witnessed another legendary gilette moment.
You savages, I absolutely love the comments section there. Alas, next time I see them just disabling comments to “keep it civil”.

I find it perplexing that the mythic skin is cheaper than Legendary skins.

… which just guesstimates those numbers, often very inaccurate. But whatever, it’s not a bombshell that their S2 trailer was smashed by fans. It’s the typical “you guys have phones?” moment all over. Just a bit subtler.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Usually I don’t even scroll down to avoid seeing something there that may ruin my day.
Source? I’d be interested in seeing that.

… simple logic? The only accurate source of data can be yt but they didn’t remove the downvotes from their UI just to provide some loophole of accessing them via some APIs that can be used by extensions. The best they can do is extrapolation and the accuracy there is heavily reliant on how much of the correlation between the extension user-base and the viewer-base of any given video exist.
Given the fact FF is just around 3% of all users: http s://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share you can see how any deviation in the reported dislikes from those users will have a heavy swing on the extrapolated number.
But it you’re not convinced, go and read their FAQ: http s://returnyoutubedislike.com/faq

Okay, fair. That said:
Since when have the people running YT used/been capable of using the basic logic/competence that would require?

Since… its beginning? No matter our feelings about them they are an extremely successful tech company and a business corporation. They removed dislikes because they decided to trade their integrity for the ad revenues. But given the fact those revenues make their business - it’s not a stupid decision at all.
There’s some solid logic there, they don’t want cash cows like gilette to be embarrassed on their platform even if it was deserved. They want to appear “brand-friendly” and so they push big brands content, promote it through recommendations, remove any “inconvenienced” such as healthy criticism etc etc - but it makes good returns from those brands. So why not? Remember: your average user doesn’t pay them money1. Advertisers and brands do.
1 Unless yt red but honestly, why have it? Almost all of the creators have their sponsor ads made as parts of their videos so instead of “ad-free experience” you’ll be double-dipped by this whole corpo carousel.
It’s sitting at 45k to 17k like:dislike ratio.
I loved the part where dva throws out the skin prices and yells “nerf this”

Adoring the part where Moira said, “Surrender to my skin price!” truly an Overwatch 2 moment.
LOL

what you are describing is computer fantasy, do you have any idea how a simple source page of a website works? The dislike numbers are actually recorded for the content created, they are simply “obscured” from the public. and fun-fact, you can find them easily by opening only the source page, that annoying wall of text in computer language that no one willingly reads.
A friend of mine also knows how to change the facebook color code to an amateur extension, making it red instead of its iconic blue. Now come and tell me that “the powers that be are sensing that they like to use red or they have allowed it” XD.
A combination of archived data from before the offical YouTube dislike API shut down, and extrapolated extension user behavior.
for “archived data” we mean the functions of the chace page which is periodically saved on the website server. it is the same principle with which Wayback Machine also works, that website that allows you to save old versions of websites. But they are not “intuited” dislikes, they are simply not constantly updated with respect to visible likes.
I love overwatch community you are awesome

I contributed to that degeneracy
It’s basically people that have 600 hours in game and complain about the game all day.
