How many dislikes in total do you think it would be if they didn't delete the number
I wouldnt be surprised if a lot of the downvotes were by fake accounts traceable to the same IP, created solely for this purpose.
Not really hard, and not at all surprising from gamer culture.

I'd guess close to 750k. I don't dismiss the possibility of weaponized autism using bots or downvote brigades that youtube's algorithms or perhaps even their engineers have snuffed out.
I don't really think Blizzard are pulling the strings. I don't rule that out as a possibility but I think Youtube has a pretty good understanding of automated trickery and have a vested interest in keeping votes as honest as possible for their advertising customers. Just as blizzard tries their best to stem the tide of botting (sometimes successfuly and sometimes not).
We all know big corps can do a lot of sleazy things when the chips are down but I think the number reflected currently is likely accurate.
If you talked to me a few years ago I would say mobile gaming was a scourge that needed to be wiped out, nowadays I find this whole controversy laughable. Like it or not mobile gaming is on the rise and I have played plenty of mobile games tat are fun, free to play or otherwise.
11/04/2018 06:22 PMPosted by MikazakiHow does Blizzard have direct control over that though? And if they did, wouldn't they just add likes instead?
they have actually added around 5k likes everytime they do a dislike purge

Blizzard has no issue with suppressing the truth of things.
What does this mean for wow?
Are we the next franchise to get targeted for demolition?
this effects all of blizzard franchises
Wow lootboxes coming soon TM
Another thread, another bout of ignorance.
YouTube creators cannot modify the likes or dislikes of a video, only YouTube can do that, and YouTube does not have a 'dislike scrubbing' service, otherwise companies like EA, Ubisoft and Activision would have used it by now, along with YouTubers like Logan Paul.

Based on how people reacted during the live presentation, I very much doubt any of those downvotes were faked if at all.

Exactly. It would make more sense if Blizzard was adding likes by making multiple YouTube accounts to do so. I don't understand how it could actually be possible for a YouTube video creator to remove dislikes. If they wanted to, they could simply disable likes/dislikes altogether.

Youtube creators can only hide or remove comments as far as I know.

I have a YouTube channel, my videos have dislikes that I feel are undeserved. I cannot remove them at all. The option is not there in the creator studio. There is also no support option when I try to reach out to YouTube to get dislikes removed from the video.
But hey, apparently just because you can see numbers move around that clearly means there's a conspiracy at play right?

Not saying the downvotes are there undeservedly. There's still a massive downvote count. It's just that it's not unheard of to create spam accounts from the same IP for the purposes of brigading a website.
I recall several songs losing a massive amount of views after Youtube implemented a bot detection algorithm. This may be no different.

My no name literally who? youtube account that no one knows or cares about is representative of a billion dollar company known as activision blizzard who has the money and tech sway to hamfist my way into anything i want
You dont see the disparity?
they are bot deletes tin foil crew.
ITT: people don't know how Youtube does things, doesn't stop them from talking a bout it.
Also in this thread: the belief that if Blizzard develops multiple mobile games, they will stop development on every other game.
Which is...you know, dumb. Really dumb. Cosmic level dumb.

I can see it now. When you win a piece of loot in a raid, a micotransaction option comes up. $4.99 for WF? $9.99 for TF?
I'm just joking though lol.

I think what people are implying is that Blizz brass contacted some Google brass and told them to do something. Not that Blizzard is hacking Youtube. We all know money talks and they're both titans in the tech industry. I personally believe that it's just Youtube algorithms removing suspicious votes.
