Even though the real dislikes numbers can be seen by the creators themselves and yet people use YouTube’s extension thinking that it’s the real number when it’s not. Also, it has become very prevalent to dislike anything on YouTube that goes against “certain” views or subject matter.
Do people really think dislike bombing will really work on YouTube when the real dislike figures doesn’t reflect the extensions figures? If so, why do these type of people still dislike bomb “certain” type of videos when the fact of the matter is it doesn’t work.
(Even though this isn’t World of Warcraft related but it can affect its content in terms of dislike bombing on YouTube)
TBH if people actually dislike something then they need to just leave it alone. Disliking something counts as engagement, meaning YouTube’s Al Gore’s Rhythm is going to push it more for views.
Oh I just click the little thingy the little 3 dots and say “not interested” and do it that way.
I get recommended all kinds of stuff due to the hubby’s interests and I’m just like, “I don’t want to hear about crypto currencies right now I’m not interested” lol
I don’t see a problem with disliking something. If liking something is validated, why can’t disliking something also be? I, heh, dislike this notion that it’s ‘wrong’ to dislike something.
People want to see the real feedback and not whatever fake feedback youtube put up with just likes.
Without Dislikes, what are Likes then?.. Meaningless.
I rather they go back to the 5 star format they had like 2 decades ago.
You think only one side gets the dislike bomb treatment?..
Have you ever wondered maybe it’s on the video maker’s part on why their getting dislike bombs? They don’t often happen out of the blue.
…Why do you care then? If it doesn’t matter like you’ve said, then why care if they dislike bomb it then?
So all the people who callously mock and made fun of the video, people writing comments criticizing, or just being plain hateful, or reporting the video, is liking it?
Also, if somebody actually likes the video, they get to click the button? What kind of logic is that?
Views doesn’t often translate out to good reception. Esp since if their already disliked, it would just get more dislikes.
Double standards sadly.
Positivity anything is good and negativity anything is bad. Unless it’s against the people or ideas they dislike. And i have a strong feeling that WoW Forums don’t understand really how Youtube and how the community works…
Me personally, like or dislike what you want. Don’t let others tell you can’t like OP here.
As far as I understands it, it’s about user power. Cooperations love to smear a wrong picture of things and speak for the people in their own agenda, while the people themselves have a different opinion. You can apply this to everything. I remember, when I was in my late teen years, that everyone hated the female Ghostbusters film. As it turned out, it was just a bad movie and people were rightfully to blame it. The media and YouTube spinned it as a misogynistic agenda because how often it was downvoted on YT, while ignoring what the people actually said about the situation.
One of the most unknown yet famous one: Zero Point Energy exists since the late 1950s but it is suppressed because the government profits more from it.
If I disagree with the content of your video, I am pressing that dislike button to let you know you screwed up. AKA legitimate feedback. I don’t use the extension, but I don’t like YouTube hiding dislikes. Fake positivity is bad.
If someone is using multiple accounts to spam dislikes, or they’re disliking because of something external like a Twitter post, that’s another story.
Review-bombing is generally different because most review systems have a score system, so when someone gives a 0 out of 10 to something, they really think it’s like a 3 out of 10; they are abusing the system to lower the score further.
The funniest part is that even dislikes are going to give reach to the videos they get butthurt about. It’s pretty common knowledge that if you see something on any social media that you don’t like you (if deserving) report it and otherwise don’t engage with it.
