YouTube Hides ‘Dislikes’ Following Mass Downvoting of Biden Administration Videos

November 11th, 2021

Via: Summit News:

YouTube has announced it will hide ‘dislikes’ from videos to curb “creator harassment,” with critics pointing out that this is merely a way of removing the huge amount of downvotes on videos posted by the Biden administration.

“YouTube has announced that it’ll be hiding public dislike counts on videos across its site, starting today,” reports The Verge.

“The company says the change is to keep smaller creators from being targeted by dislike attacks or harassment, and to promote “respectful interactions between viewers and creators.” The dislike button will still be there, but it’ll be for private feedback, rather than public shaming.”

Quite how viewer feedback in the form of a thumbs down icon represents “harassment” is anyone’s guess, but the immediate response to the announcement from many was that the Google-owned company was merely moving to protect the Biden White House from ridicule.

“Is this the reason?” asked one respondent, highlighting how Biden speeches and White House press briefings receive massive dislike ratios, sometimes at a rate of ten to one.

    Here’s a fun one: go to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8mcLQSprm8&t=6s
    and notice that while comments are NOT turned off, there are 0 comments — on a video about a controversial topic that was posted on April 21, 2021! Hmm, doesn’t seem likely, does it?

    Even more fun: you CAN post a comment, and it WILL stay there, but only you can see it. (Post a comment, leave and come back, and there it is. BUT, if you tell someone else to look at this video, they will see 0 comments too.)

    The psychopaths are in charge and they are pressing on every front.

    Interesting times…
