I don’t understand why the dislike button is important. Do you feel like you’ve lost agency over the algorithm? Or do you value the opportunity to publicly disapprove?
Perhaps you trust that a like/dislike ratio is correlated to video quality.
For my part, like, share, and subscribe are just different buttons in the Skinner box that is algorithmic entertainment. “Engagement” is free labor for to improve algorithms and train “AI”.
It’s astonishing that you believe you ever had any agency, but thanks for being honest.
You must understand that your engagement may improve your suggestions but the ultimate beneficiary is a trillion dollar company. The creators have a chance to be compensated for adding value to the platform, but you’re working for, I don’t know, vibes?
it’s worse than that, i am a paying customer. i am a triple-a corpo stooge who goes through life without a single thought in my head other than media consumption, leaving not a single spare thought to the late-stage capitalistic oligopoly hellhole we find ourself in and which will inevitably kill us. i would never even think of researching unions, protests, or a proletariat uprising because i’m too busy keeping up with fucking… ice road truckers and whatever.
there, does that fill my ego-stroking quota for today? then fuck off with that shit, you’re just stating the obvious as if it’s revolutionary insight and derailing the conversation.
Who is working here? Creators who do well are compensated - I’ve seen a number quit their jobs to become full time Youtubers, they are more than likely making more money.

youtubers can delete negative comments. they couldn’t delete dislikes
it hurts thier viewership, and potential money source. works to help curb POS tubers.
I’d like to give more feedback for the algorithm. The long press and selecting that you dislike this video feels like overkill.
yes, the first one.

The opportunity to publicly disapprove is a weird way to write warning others that this content is shit/false/malicious etc.
