YouTube panics as Americans 'dislike' Biden videos, so it takes drastic step
World Net Daily ^ | March 31, 2021 | Bob Unruh

YouTube announced Tuesday it is experimenting with removing the "dislike" count on posts.

The company said in a statement that in response "to creator feedback around well-being and targeted dislike campaigns, we're testing a few new designs that don't show the public dislike count."

...

The Gateway Pundit wondered if the move had something to do with President Biden's lack of popularity.

The blog previously reported YouTube, which is owned by Google, appeared to have altered the dislikes count on White House videos.

A Biden video had been "disliked" 10,000 times at 3:11 p.m., for example, had only 3,100 dislikes at 7:31 p.m.

I go on youtube to watch Biden videos. 99% are negative, and most are hilarious.

Fascist google will definitely put a stop to both downvotes and comments soon.

All you have to do is march over to the comments area of the video...type in ‘faketube’, and leave it as a marker. They basically have a product that they can’t sell.

OK: Cancelling conservatives. Demonetizing then. Making them starve.

Not OK: Making your conservative friends aware of a leftist video. (That’s the real extent of most “dislike campaigns”. People naturally just downvote what they don’t like.)

Yes, they changed the “dislike” count for political purposes. Yes, they are disgusting leftists with no principles. And now hiding the “dislike” count? They really are lowlife sob’s.

I wonder if the nuclear football codes have pictures of the leaders of the country we would be likely to nuke?

We need a conservative hacker to go in there and mess with them somehow.

Here’s how to make Tripper Joe popular:
In the 2020 election a lot of DJT votes were switched to TJ. Therefore, why not just make every down vote switch to up vote? Instant popularity!

Yeah, sometimes it’s unclear if I should upvote because they are exposing what Biden really is, or downvote because he is so creepy, like when he openly feels up little girls on camera.

I would like to take this moment to reflect on the absolute predictability of the communists:

Coming up: the “dislike” button stops counting, but you get put on a list. Or it will just be gone.

Someone already showed that they were capping dislikes on Chairman Joe's videos, so I think this post was a twofer!

Do they hide the dislike button on conservative channels?

Seems like foreign news outlets,on YouTube, are able report what’s actually going on in the US.
Youtube is probably afraid to mess with them?
