Hi. Well, this just dropped today. A Youtuber just announced that they're going to remove dislikes the dislike count from not just selected videos, all videos as of today. But um, it's still functional.

But yeah, like, I guess I don't know. Wake up tomorrow and it's going to be Gonski. You will still be able to thumbs down a video, but you will not be able to see the thumbs down count like my latest video. 1.6 000 thumbs up 19 thumbs down.

You won't be able to see this anymore. And ironically, they've got ratioed on their own video. 8.2 K Thumbs down 4.8 K Thumbs up. It's only going to get worse once again.

Youtube screwing the creators under the disguise of protecting protecting creators? Yeah, sure. So let's watch their video and their justification for removing the dislike count now. Uh, by the way, you've always creators have always been able to do this. Uh, we've been able to set either on an individual basis or I believe like, on a whole channel basis as well.

Like default for each video is that you can disable ratings so you can disable thumbs up and thumbs down. I don't think there's an option, which is what I'm going to talk about to like for creators to actually to enable thumbs up, but disable thumbs down. I could be wrong on that. but anyway.

Um, yeah. Anyway, there is the option to completely disable ratings on videos, as is the option to disable comments and stuff like that and they mention this in this video. Anyway, let's get to their justification for nuking the entire site once again. Like, just like they've nuked it many times before, they've nuked like comments on all kid kids videos.

For example, you can't comment on kids videos anymore. It's just insane because I don't know. There are a couple of you know naughty people out there who left coded comments in there. So they just nuked comments for all kids videos.

It's just absolutely insane. It's just Youtube catering to a ridiculous and loud minority just to nuke the entire platform for all created. Almost all creators don't want this. I mean, as a creator, I want the option to choose whether or not people are able to thumbs down my videos.

But anyway, let's listen to this smiling guy here explain their reasons why. They're just. well, they've just done this, or they're just about to do it like today or tomorrow within hours. Anyway, it's been thumbs down and uh yeah, you give your opinion too.

I'll link in the video up here and down below and all the rest of it. You can go and tell them yourself. They haven't disabled comments either, so we'll have a look at the comments. But let's go here.

we go. He's smiling, happy dude to explain to us why they're going to protect us. Hey folks, you may have seen. a while back that Youtube announced it was experimenting with making dislike counts private to only the creator of the video, hang on Youtube announced it was experiment Creator liaison.

Hey Matt, you've never liaised with me about this. I think I might have vaguely heard about this, but I basically don't recall ever like this was like ages ago or something. I don't recall ever Youtube contacting me as a 10 plus year full-time creator. Got the Youtube Silver award.

Everything else, right? I'm almost. you know, and creeping towards you know, a million subs. You know, a reasonable size channel produced over 2 000 videos. Not once did they contact creators in in general and just go at least even like at the major ones.

How hard is it to contact like all like 100 plus thousand channels? Or was it? you know it's not hard right to pull our opinion on a huge change like this, removing dislikes. But no, I was never consulted at all. I I just this video just dropped today. sorry it's gone.

Here's our reasons why we're protecting you. Let's go Hey folks, you may have seen a while back that Youtube announced it was experimenting with making dislike counts private to only the creator of the video. Now if you're like me, you were surprised by that. I mean, I've always thought seeing the number of dislikes on video helps us know as viewers if it's a good video or not, if it's a helpful tutorial or not, or if what a creator is is saying in their video is generally agreed with or not.

Yeah, that's exactly what it does. It's a organic mechanism that allows not only creators, but the entire community. the whole world, right? Youtube is so Huge. it allows basically everyone to be able to gauge public in interest, public sentiment in videos.

If there's a scam video, for example, whoop, everyone can thumbs down and then leave the comments. scam, scam, scam everything. If it's disinformation, the thumbs Down Scam. You know, disinformation, blah blah blah blah blah.

Or if if you're just a crap content creator, well, thumbs down, right? We don't like your content. If you're trying to push some political message on us, we don't like thumbs down. And then everyone, the community, the media everyone can then, and the creators and the other creators can then look at that organic engagement and go well, yeah. like people don't like this, they you know this is like a bad idea.

It's just it's a bad video, or it's a scam or it's misinformation or whatever it is these days that you know people get a gauge on that and now they're totally nuking that they're removing that ability completely. And as we'll see in the comment down below, this now gives free reign to scams and misinformation and all the rest of it. Um, just to be thumbs up, thumbs up. This is like an open invitation to scammers to put their videos on Youtube and just you know and all they do is like some people see.

Okay, it's got, you know 100 000 thumbs up or something. Oh, it must be good. It must be right. It must be.

There's now no public feedback mechanism to engage with. uh, this content and so that people can see and possibly be. But it's got a lot of thumbs down. There must be a reason for it or going to read the comments.

I'll you know, put my critical thinking cap on when I watch the video or whatever that's just gone. Now they've nuked it. Why have they nuked it? Well, let's hear the butt. But unfortunately, research teams that Youtube have found there's this whole other use for disliking a video that I had never experienced as a creator.

and you may not have either. Well, you have now. look. apparently groups of viewers are targeting a video's dislike button to drive up the count, turning it into something like a a game with a visible scoreboard.

A game with a visible scoreboard. No, If you put up crap content, you're going to or you know, misinformation or scams or something low sales or some political message or some other message that you're trying to force down somebody's throat and they don't like it. That's why they're going to thumbs it down. And it's usually just because they don't like the creator or what they stand for.

That's a big problem. What's wrong with that? Youtube's mission is to give everyone a voice. How does removing the thumbs down feature stop people and giving them a voice? It it doesn't. It has no impact whatsoever if you don't.

If you're a creator who doesn't like the thumbs down, you disable the ratings. If you don't like the comments, you disable the comments and I think they're two separate options I think so that you can you know disable one or the other or both if you don't like that sort of stuff. So earlier in 2021, Youtube experimented with making the public dislike count private to see if it would help reduce which videos dislike attacks across the platform, and after analysis they did see a reduction. Wow that you disable the ability to thumbs down somebody and you get less thumbs down.

Ah, I'm shocked. The update from Youtube is that the dislike button is staying, but the dislike counts will now be private. You can still dislike videos and that action will be used to tune your own recommendations, but you won't be able to see the dislike count. Only the creator can find it on the back and if they want now so the creator can still see the thumbs down count, but it's going to be hidden away Anyway, we saw from the initial experiment and find it on the back end if they want.

Now, a few common questions we saw from the initial experiment: first: without a public dislike count, how can viewers tell if a video is worth watching: Do you like he's like eating green again? I kind of have this question too, but it turns out that while viewers might use the dislike count to give them a sense of a video's worth, When the teams looked at the data across millions of viewers and videos in the experiment, they didn't see a noticeable difference in viewership regardless of whether they could see the dislike count or not. It's not about viewership, It's not about counts. It's about people giving people the ability to organically feedback to the creator and not only to the creator, because it's a public thing. Feedback to all those other watching that.

no, I don't like this and that drives community sentiment. And it's something the media and commentators can analyze and gauge. And this is how society works. You do not have a functioning society by hiding opinion away like this.

It's just ridiculous. In other words, it didn't really matter if a video had a lot of dislikes or not, they still watched. Of course, they still want. So what's your point? I didn't get it.

It's a common question if creators can still see the dislike count on the back end. how's that any different? They can see it if they look for it inside studio analytics under the engagement tab, but overall, it's much less likely to cause stress and embarrassment if the count isn't visible to the public and they don't understand creators. The creators who get upset at these sort of stats are the ones who are going to go looking for it, so it doesn't matter if you hide it away via a couple of tabs. they'll go in looking because these people are obsessed with what people think of them.

So they're going to go. Look, you are not protecting these handful of people by doing this. And this is their entire justification for removing this, nuking it site-wide for every creator. Is we're going to protect you.

But oh, we're going to give you access to the data anyway. One more common question is this because Youtube rewind got lots of dislikes. Yes, it is. Look at this guy eating grin.

Yes, it is. And it's to protect other, uh, large content creators and not even content creators, corporate shill accounts, and other, uh, create, you know, whiny little uh, political creators who don't like that their videos get ratio. They get thumbs down because the message that they're trying to push is and the general public don't like it. So ah, it's just insane.

No, although there are some teams internally who have learned the hard way what it feels like to get lots of dislikes. Now, this again is about protecting all creators and making sure they have a chance to succeed and feel it is not protecting all creators. I am a large 10 plus year Youtube veteran. Over two thousand videos.

I don't need protection in doing so. All right. So that's the update. I hope it doesn't cause too much frustration.

Uh, yeah, I think it has. You've just nuked your entire site to protect a few uh, piss ant little cry babies who can't handle their thumbs down. Honestly, I think you're going to get used to it pretty quickly. And keep in mind other, we're going to force this onto you and you're going to get used to it pretty quickly.

Don't worry about it, get used to it pretty quickly. and keep in mind other platforms don't even have a dislike button. Keep in mind other platforms don't even have a dislike Button Odyssey The number one competitor to Youtube. Look, I can dislike my own video.

I will splat my own video. There it is. I splattered my own video utreon another Youtube competitor. Oh dis.

Oh, dislike my own video bit shoot another competitor. It's got thumbs down too. And a counter. Hello Mcfly.

What a complete load of don't even have a dislike button. So consider that. Consider that I've considered it. The other platforms do, and quite frankly, I recommend other people check out my Odyssey channel.

If you're sick of this Youtube and them just nuking functionality, it's not going to stop here. It's designed to protect bloody corporate shill accounts who got butt hurt because people didn't like their Bloody Woke Gillette ad and crap like that. All this stupid Youtube rewind video that was just so out of touch. Oh the the people who get so butt hurt about these videos.

all these corporate shill accounts. they're just licking their lips now. Oh, we can only get thumbs up. We can only get positive engagement and it's all done under the disguise of protecting the small creator They've actually specifically said is to protect the small creators.

And this is absolute Because small creators do they. They're not even on the radar. They don't even get targeted thumbs down account. Nobody knows they exist.

This is. this is not protecting the small creators. It's designed to protect the large corporate shield accounts and other channels that get butt hurt when they get ratio rightly ratioed, organically ratioed. It's got nothing to do with targeted thumbs down attacks.

So I think this is absolute crap and I've given it a thumbs down. While I still can, I'll link it in. I highly recommend you rate it as well. I'm not telling you a thumbs down.

you might like this. Leave it in the comments down below if you think this is a good idea about nuking thumbs down and can only thumbs up the entire uh platform. But let's let's have a look at the comments here. Um, the dislike button is staying and no plans to change about the number of dislikes on a video I dislike count will no longer be visible to viewers on the videos watch page for both videos and live streams as well.

Below are a few facts we'll keep it uh, as a pin to comment. Okay, there you go a few frequently asked questions. Okay, let's check that out. Okay, so it's gradually rolling out starting today.

I guess there's no one magic button they can just push. This is optional for creators today, but we've seen that when creators choose to turn off likes dislikes on their videos. No, this is not I don't believe. Please correct me in the in the comments down below.

If I'm wrong, I don't believe this is an option to enable thumbs Up, But disable thumbs Down. I think you have to nuke the entire Um rating system, so no, this actual option does not exist today. it's enabling. This is a new thing that enables thumbs up, but disables thumbs down, which has all sorts of implications.

As we'll see in the comment down here, it's Youtube's responsibility to protect its community and create an inclusive environment. Inclusive. Ah, Woke Wank Word environment where creators like yourself feel safe to express themselves. We've decided to make the dislike count private across all videos, so the creators aren't pressured to make this decision themselves.

This has nothing to do with small time creators. As I said, it's all about the corporate shill accounts getting absolute butt hurt when this stupid woke message is getting ratioed to hell and back. So I'll thumbs that down. And that's just my comment.

How about giving people the option? like how about you just give the option to disable it And they did actually respond to this uh, comment on Twitter which got uh, ratioed by the way as did their original tweet Anyway, Um, this user says, can you please add the option to add in uh, to opt-in to display in our dislike count? I prefer to publicly show my dislike count as would I, and as would I think every creator that I know stop acting like this is being done. For smaller creators. It's being done to protect big creators from criticism and their responses. We did have an option for creators to hide likes dislikes before today, but we're seeing that when they choose to turn off like dislikes, they can be bullied and harassed for their decision.

This is not about protection from criticism, it's about protection from targeted harassment. Ah, you didn't answer the question. This person and this this creator including myself and I'm pretty much I think if I polled all my fellow creators they'd say the same thing. I want the option to have the dislike count there.

Why can't I have the option. Why are you forcing this on us under the disguise of protecting us? We do not want nor need protection. We like the engagement, we like the even if we don't like the thumbs down. Even though even if me as a creator, if I didn't like the thumbs down, I'd still want it there.

the ability for creators to turn that on because it's an important public feed and community feedback mechanism in modern society. This is just insane just because there's a few creators who feel like they have to turn off the like dislike a button and yeah, you're just trying to hide it. Well, whatever. Too bad that's your decision that you make.

It's if you want to be a creator, you can disable all public, you can disable ratings, you can disable comments, and you can just push your content out there. and you don't have to listen to anyone. if you just want to produce your content, that's fine. And if you then if you want to have a nice little community, you can go on Patreon, or you can go on a discord server or something like that.

you know, moderated, um, you know, or forums or something like that, you can go on there. You can have your nice little happy community and you never have to see any criticism. But now they're forcing this on every single creator on the planet because a few people are, but hurt that they don't like the likes and dislikes. and they're not even going to give us the option.

It's like screw you. No, you don't get the option. We're doing this to protect you and you're going to like it. Or as they say here, I think you're going to get used to it pretty quickly.

I think you're going to get used to it Honestly, pretty quickly pretty quickly. I think everyone's going to get used to Odyssey really quickly. Linkedin down below: Highly recommended. We can still thumbs down my you can splat my comments and I really like the way that the, um, the comments are working here.

Actually, there's no splattered comment on here, but if a comment gets enough splats, it's automatically hidden and then the user has to actually click on the comment to see the original comment. I think that's a you know, it's a pretty cool feature. It'd be nice if you could, just you know, disable it or something like that, but you know it's not hiding the comment. Uh, totally.

You can just click on it because yeah, this comment, you know it's got. oh, it's splattered to hell because it's you know, some link, spam or something like that. Um, then yeah, it's you. Just don't have to see it.

It's terrific. Let's read the top comments here, Shall we? Uh, there is no worse decision Youtube could possibly make. The community doesn't want this. Don't act like they do.

The dislike bar is a necessary component as you can see by this video people aren't having it. look. I I actually support the decision to, uh, do this. Just give the creators the option to opt out of this.

Um, if if you want to have this, I can. Okay, fine, but I think it still opens a door to uh, scammers as well. There's a comment down here I'm sure about Um, scams Who can? Then you know, disable thumbs down or it's just. uh.

Anyway, so that gets a thumbs up, Jaden, No one wants this. What is wrong with you Actually listen to people for once. Dislikes are an integral part of the Youtube experience. Just admit you're doing this so no one dislikes your crappy tone deaf videos.

Hoovy Tube who seems to be a creator. When I was 12, my videos were dislike bombed. Not many like them. Sure, it hurt, but I matured.

Since then, I matured because I was able to respond to the negative feedback my content was receiving. If, if not it, I would be falsely convinced of my perceived non-existent greatness. Dislikes are key to personal and content growth. Removing them is done.

Yeah, Done. Yep. thumbs up. And with this, the golden age era of scams, fake tutorials, and low quality content begins.

Bam. The Scoundrels Cantina. So you're trying to give everyone a voice by taking away a part of the voice aka the dislike button. Yeah, all this is protecting some major world players by not allowing the public's opinion to be seen so easily about them.

Youtube. Next stop. Remove comments we don't like. Yeah, they're already doing that.

Like, as if all of the uh, algorithmic demotion isn't enough. Try being a an independent news channel. Um, especially if you're on. you know, center or the wrong side.

Um, try being independent news content creator on Youtube and see how you get zero organic views. It's ridiculous, Which they've admitted to. They've admitted to their to prioritizing authoritative sources. It's not you tube anymore.

It used to be Youtube. Youtube was built on the back of the you know, just like the weirdo creators, the independent content creators just making like a quirky independent content. and a lot of that now, especially in the areas that Youtube don't approve of, they get out and they either get outright banned or algorithmically demoted. It's unbelievable.

Um, next, like I am not selectively picking these, these are the top comments. This is the most offensively dishonest thing you've posted. even for your standard dislike. Accounts were essential to sport spot scams.

fake bad tutorials. Click baits are especially important as a tool to fight back against horrible mega corporation announcements such as Nintendo Switch online, among other things. I don't know what the Switch online thing was, but I'm sure it was legitimate. Uh, community, organic, community feedback Translation: We need to protect brands and politicians.

Nobody asks for this. Nobody wants this. You're trying to create a fake idea of positive relief by trying to shut down a useful tool. Like many people have said, it's useful to spot clickbait scams, unuseful videos and it lets the audience of a creator.

have a voice. Do not get rid of it. You guys seem to be really good at making some dumb decisions that people hate. There's not a single like person.

Where are all the four and a half Thousand thumbs up for this thing? Yeah, like it's just like it's not in the comments, that's for sure. This is very disappointing. It's not about keeping everyone happy, it's about honest opinions. The quoted gamer acknowledges the reason why having a dislike count is actually useful and proceeds to say not screw that like three people have been ratioed in here before.

True brainly. Move here brother. This is some of the biggest cope a corporation can stick to. If they don't know that people disagree with us, then they might not disagree with us.

Burn. The dislike ratio matters a lot in fighting misinformation, which Youtube were all about. Like you know, 12 months ago was all about the misinformation. Now it's like no free reign for missing misinformation merchants.

Big dislike made people suspicious of the validity of a video, especially if that occurs after the Vid got debunked. To remove the dislike button is to stand with misinformation. Absolutely. And there's no option.

There's no option for creators to opt out of this. You've moved the ability for people to be able to easily spot videos that are related to scams, false misleading information, etc by holding important information from the viewer or to protect a handful of people. They got upset that the video got disliked bombed even though it doesn't affect the video negatively in any way foreign. that's got I think the most thumbs up.

Yeah, why? like oh I would have thought like it's they're once again their algorithm is broken like I've I'm sorting by um. top comments, but it doesn't show like the highest one first. it kind of mixes it up a bit. I don't know if that's good or bad.

Yeah, it jumps to that and then this one and then this one and that finally gets back to a 6.9 That's the highest one so far. Um, yeah, I don't know. if you know, leave it in the comments. Is this an out of season April Fool's joke? Dislike: attacks turning into a game with visible scoreboards? It is not.

When there's a massive amount, it is a feedback of fans working together to say they don't like something the exact same way fans like as a sign of approval. Exactly a way to tell the creator or companies that the fan viewers do not like. This is useful for other media to show that New Year's as I said, for other media and other commentators, to show this news with more precise info on what's going on, and to gauge the public opinion. We can no longer gauge the public opinion on the biggest video platform in the world.

This is insane. It's insane. Everyone should be allowed to know a lot of companies are going to abuse this. Absolutely.

It's usually because they don't like the creator or what they stand for. Yeah, that's what dislike literally means. And does that doesn't mean it's evil? Correct, It's people giving genuine feedback. That is a big problem When Youtube's mission is to give everyone a voice.

What? How is disliking and seeing your vote? Remove voices Exactly As a matter of fact, how can you say this when creators can't have their own voice Because you censor them to a point, everyone has to change their ways to meet your standards. As for why your experiment made people dislike less? Obviously because we don't feel like our videos has an effect. It feels like you are clicking at nothing, make comment invisible, and you'll obviously have less comments as well. Exactly.

You removed the ability, the instant feedback like mechanism to see how many others see how the community engages with it, and you, of course, you're going to see less engagement on that when you do that. Unbelievable likes, dislikes, comments, etc. People should be allowed this type of communication and expression. This is not a good update.

Absolutely great reply. Is this because Youtube rewind Got lots of dislikes? No, Yeah, it is. I think you're going to get used to it pretty quickly. Keep in mind, other platforms don't even have a dislike button.

We've removed the sunlight from your room. You'll get used to it eventually. Other abusers won't even tell you why they hate you take away a feature that better informs your users and then rub your no users faces in it. You should have just dropped the don't don't part of don't Be Evil Haven't they dropped? Don't Be Evil I think it's gone now.

from their mission statement. once be evil will appear beside your agenda. When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar. You are only telling the world that you fear what he might say.

This video is the perfect example why we need dislikes to be public. Ironic, isn't it? I mean of course people will click less on the disliking button if it is literally useless. Yes, it's It's just nobody's going to bother anybody. This is unbelievable.

Unbelievable. Give the creator the option. Don't force this for the whole platform. Edit: I love how at the end he uses the bandwagon fallacy.

Other platforms don't even have a dislike button, but they do. This is one of the worst developments I've seen in Youtube in a while and that's saying something. You can even see the dislike button at work on your own video. The public is pushing back and saying this is not something that we want.

Creators already had the option to disable like comments and um, fulfilled. And that fulfilled the supposed goal of the endeavour. This was only to help promote poor videos and scams such as this case of The Verges Pc build. Yeah, Classic example.

Was it clear to see what's sketchy at first but like this right ratio? exactly? That's what I said. It gives you. You know, my spidey senses up. Oh, everyone's thumbing down this.

I might you know. Woof um like I do trailer reaction videos. you know, like movie trailers for example. Oh, they're going to love it Now it's only thumbs up.

By removing that feature, the video would have much greater potential to cause damage to the community and heavily oppose this development. Nice. Congratulations Youtube, you succeeded. giving creators things they don't want, removing public discipline and will only be net negative.

People who support this are people who report content scammers, and people who simply don't want to accept criticism from the audience. Removing the public dislike account does nothing to curb harassment. All you're doing is offloading it to a different website and you're still keeping the comments section so I don't actually understand what the true goal of this is supposed to be exactly. The creators that are going to get hurt by the dislike buttons are also going to get hurt, even more so by the comments.

So they're going to be either. they're going to have to live if they can live with the comments. Oh, I can guarantee you, as a creator, they can live with the thumbs down as well. And if they're going to disable the comments, then they're going to get the same criticism as disabling the thumbs down And even more so for comments.

People you know people will kind of understand why. Okay, you don't want to do the thumb because you know you know a corporate shield account disables the thumb thing because they know they're going to get ratio. But if they disable the comments then you know that you know. Yeah, you really gotta cop the criticism.

And as a creator, that's the choice you make when you make. Give the creator the decision and I support it. give. I like how currently you can disable comments and you can disable thumbs up and thumbs down.

If that's the creator's choice then they should have the choice. But this ability to thumbs up only and no thumbs down. This is only downside. There is zero upside to this for everyone.

Massive downside in terms of scams and other, uh, engagement. And basically, as I said, the largest video platform on earth, there is now no community feedback. You've got to go in and read the comments. the top comments.

It's unbelievable. And let's be honest, a dislike ratio is not the same thing as harassment. Correct? Yeah, That's an excuse made by people who don't want to accept that the content is widely disliked. I simply don't want to make a positive change.

Your new update fails to help. 99 of the creators on this platform agreed. Most people who create entertaining content never have to deal with a massive dislike ratio. Correct.

Youtube is an entertainment platform. What comes with that is the environment of meritocracy, The content creators that have positive like dislike ratios and positive comments sections to those who create better content. Agreed: it is the fault of the content creator. If they uh content is negatively accepted or perceived is the job of the content creator to make an effort to make better content for their fans.

With the knowledge knowing that dislikes will always be hidden from the audience, there is no incentive to make better content. Well said a response from a small creator called Gears. As a small creator, this is a terrible decision. You people seem hell-bent on driving this website off a cliff.

Why would I bother disliking a video when I know it won't even affect anything? How will I know if I make a bad video or not? When people won't bother using the dislike button exactly as a creator, they will not want to use it anymore because they know the uh, the it's hidden away from not only the public, but the uh, but the creators most likely not going to look at it either. The idea is that we'll all simply get used to his absolute rubbish. This decision will only make other Youtube competitors look more appealing to uploaders and viewers. Highly recommend Odyssey.

I've got over sixty thousand I think sixty four thousand subscribers or something now and seriously, some of the best comments I get um on my videos come from my Odyssey channel now. The engagement is excellent on there. Highly recommended. Terrible, terrible idea.

People need a way to express how they disapprove something like I look. I am not filtering these comments. These are all the comments. Is there any comment that says oh, I support this move.

Is there anyone? I haven't found it yet. Remove the exact subscribe and I remove the dislike. What next? Removing the comments. It was that.

yeah, they've already done that on all kids videos. They nuked the entire kids video platform. That was the best way to distinguish scan content and Youtube ruined it. There's a lot of people here and rightly so are concerned with the scams and the misinformation and just the general ability to be able to, uh, tell you know the community, Help the community, Say yeah with this information, you know.

Warning: Will Robinson, there's you. Know there's something wrong with this video. You know you can get your spidey sense up before you watch it. We're trying to give everyone a voice, just not the voices that are criticizing us, major companies and others who most likely deserve criticism.

This is very disappointing. It's not about keeping everyone unhappiness about honest opinions to protect the mission of Youtube being given everyone a voice. So by taking away the majority of people's voices, you'll be protected by force, not a dictator. This is terrible.

I make tutorials, I work hard to make sure people like them. now. people will be able to publish junk and no one will know until they have hours invested into it. Well said Tyler.

Giving creators and viewers yet another reason to jump ship. Just look at how quick the comments are filling up every second. People are outraged by this. Like seriously, I G: is there anyone I go? I can't This could go on for hours.

Hey, look at the ratio in here. There's just like, I I don't know, like I can't see anyone. What's uh, sticks.
