In case you don't know, because you actually have a real life, YouTube has announced that they are eliminating the Dislike button, much to the dislike of nearly every sane person who regularly posts videos on YouTube.
Their official reason is because smaller content creators are unable get traffic because their dislike ratio is often higher than their like ratio. Or it can be. I'm not sure which, but it's a bullshit reason regardless.
First of all, the YouTube search algorithms are completely FUBAR by default. If you search for anything relevant to your interests, you're likely to not find it or you'll just find something else that interests you but has nothing to do with your original interest you had. And then several hours goes by before you realize you've soiled yourself because you were too busy catching up on Middle-Earth lore.
If they really wanted to protect smaller channels, then they could do a few things to fix it. For one, they could simply allow the content creator to hid the official dislike/like counts on their videos. They could also hide the dislike counts for videos with low view counts or channels with low subscribers or some combination of both. They do like their algorithms, after all.
The truth is, this is obviously being done because the Gammas who run the government and marketing divisions in large corporations are tired of their stupid videos getting disliked all the time. Because their videos are stupid and no one really likes them.
Sure, there are plenty of dislikes out there from basement dwelling yahoos who have nothing better to do than peruse YouTube in between thunder-tugging sessions and just dislike a video for the hell of it. Because they're ugly trolls.
But when your dislikes for your video about men getting periods, because they have a constitutional right to, are in the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, more than likely people hate what you're doing and you should be deported.
Because there aren't that many trolls on the Internet. In fact, I'm pretty sure there are only half a dozen trolls who are paid operatives by the Deep State to fuck with people online. The rest are either energy vampires or rogue AI bots.
Look, we all know that Big Tech is owned by Gamma Grabblers and Babblers. They aren't the most manly of people and they lack all semblance of integrity, honesty, and humility. They literally believe about 90% of the bullshit they push and I'm pretty sure they sniff their own farts, not because it smells sweet but because they like to eat shit.
And because they believe in their own ability to rule over the rest of us, no matter how low their IQ and physical prowess really is, they see fit to protect each other. It's not so much a vast grand conspiracy of child-murdering Satanic pedophiles as it is a large group of child-murdering Satanic pedophiles with shared interests. Which I guess is the same thing?
Anyway, they all don't seem to think too far ahead. I think they envision themselves as master chess masters but they clearly have like, maybe half a plan for what they're doing and most of the rest is just reactions to infractions of their tyranny.
Again, most of Big Tech is run by people who have massive, thick delusion bubbles and if you so much as scratch it, you'll find yourself at the end of their wrath.
That is why the dislike button is going away. Because to dislike them is to dislike god theyself.
