100k dislikes suddenly removed from Diablo Trailer on Youtube?

This is disappointing.
It was at 300k dislikes?

It only have 74k dislikes now!

WTF is going on?
It's a battle they can't win. They think will but they won't.

There’s two videos. One is the Cinematic and one is gameplay. They’ve both been scrubbed of downvotes.

the fact that all those dislikes disappeared changes nothing, those were still votes (legit or not) that were suddenly erased.


Bots are always removed on popular videos. This is legit not an issue at all, very common practice on Youtube.[/quote]

I have literally never heard of this even being a possibility. I was expecting them to just turn off the rating altogether, but how do you actually delete 100K dislikes?


Youtube regularly deletes comments considered spam and dislikes/likes from sources they believe to be bots. It's very possible some real people got caught in the crossfire, but it exists.

Also worth noting in the youtube comments section people are complaining about deleted comments


AGain Youtube auto-flagging as spam. Notice that the comment saying it was the 'second time removed' has returned, as well as the OG one from that red pill shark guy, even though he posted that like 15+ times.

Because spam takes a long time for the system to sort though and then spamming the same comment over and over again doesn't help the system at all.

You've missed the point entirely, even legit comments that don't coincide with what blizz wants to be seen/heard are being deleted and yes the removal of votes is VERY important, legit or not because it shows that voting has no reason to exist if the numbers can be changed.

What if this was voting for something more serious. Like elections... oh wait.
I think people are overreacting. If a video had 300k downvotes what good would it do for blizzard to pay to have 100k of those removed? It still would have 200k downvotes. It would be a pointless and endless endeavor

IMO its more likely that people flooded the video with bot downvotes and YouTube scrubbed all the bot accounts.
Get Woke.

Go Broke.

Even if they were bots and were scrubbed, the downvotes remaining are an embarrassing amount of downvotes.

What makes me think Blizzard is trying to manipulate the system a bit is that the trailers keep getting relisted to reset likes/dislikes.

And you are buying into the bot thing just like the rest of the brainwashed SJW's who think that only bots can downvote and not people that actually don't like something. Wake the hell up.

Pure gold here!


My favorite point that he made: "This might look like the future of money (referring to his smartphone), but is this the future of gaming?", and he was completely right. People want big, beautiful desktop computers with fun games and big gorgeous screens to look at, not something that will cause eye problems from all of the strained squinting at the screen you'll have to do.

Smartphones, as Heel said, are only the future for companies that want to pump garbage to make quick bucks and oodles of money through microtransactions. It is a cancer.
*takes the tinfoil hat off for a moment*

Maybe people were creating bogus accounts to downvote?
Aside from them removing and reposting the video I don't believe there is a way to just remove down votes

Even if every person who downvoted it had 5 accounts, that's still 40k downvotes worth of people.

Most people who downvoted it just did it once and done. No one but the most fanatical of dedicated trolls is going to have more than maybe 2 accounts, or even more than 1.
When down votes on our videos are oppressing our fragile egos, we look to the sky for our savior.

Faster than the boos at Blizzcon. More savage than red shirt guy 2.0.
Captain Bribery arrives! Paying huge lumps of cash to websites to undermine public opinion and to prevent stock dumps on Monday!!!
Wouldn't re-uploading clear out my dislike? It's still there. In the same video I have bookmarked since yesterday, minus a large amount of dislikes.

Yeah, if there’s 5 people who went to the trouble of creating multiple google accounts just to leave downvotes on a video I’d be surprised. And if people really think that Google doesn’t have a close relationship with companies like Blizzard I don’t know what to say.
Another fun video!

Please tell me there's a Hitler version... That meme needs a revival.

Oh, hey. There is!

I'm sure a huge percentage of those downvotes were from fraudulent Russian hacker accounts. You know, traitor Rump's buddies at it again.
