I’ve seen screenshots of YouTube modifying dislikes of White House videos. I decided I would do a thorough analysis myself. I wrote a script to check video stats every 80 seconds for 24 hours – for all videos on White House’s YouTube channel.
The collected data is archived here and here. The format is space-separated “CSV”, as follows:
VideoURL UnixTimestamp Date,Time Views Likes DislikesHere is a sample of the most egregious manipulation:
Some videos were delisted in minutes!:

The record of every time dislikes were removed is archived at https://pastebin.com/raw/F4ELDc4R
Grant Total -130321130 Thousand dislikes were removed in a 24hr period!
And this is for the most popular US President of all time!
Enjoy 🙂 -Zoe
Update
The timezone for the charts is UTC (London). Did you notice the huge drop at 06 hour (1 AM US Eastern)? Most working people go to sleep by that time. Coincidence? I think not.
Code wh.sh:

Right?
Just part of the effort to manage the sheeple’s perception of reality.
bttt
It’s like the election but opposite.
It’s the fake president.
From fake election.
He is not president.
To folks who can read code, or even simple graphs, and appreciate the level of manipulation/gaslighting to which even leftards are being subjected, yes.
What date?
Easy to do it by banning conservatives, then their data disappear.
At some point the water-carrying press will tout all the YT Likes as “proof” of Biden’s popularity.
I’ve been watching this aspect of Resident bitem over the last week. There is one aspect which is befuddling to me...
If YT can reset the dislikes, what prevents them (if anything), from making the likes increase? From adjusting likes and dislikes to align with views?
Why doesn’t YT just make up all three numbers to their “liking”?
It looks just like the software that was used to add Biden votes at 3 am and take away Trump votes.
“Alleged” _resident!
Yep. At some point they will say “Look! 99.9% of the population LOVES what Joey is doing!”
Reminds me of old Soviet elections where the Premier “won” 99.9% of the popular vote.
The Satanic creeps currently in the White House don’t like We The People calling them out on their criminal acts, so they tasked the pink-haired and rat-faced fags at Youtube to stifle and obfuscate the truth about them.
Odd that they don’t gin up any fake likes if it’s important enough to them that they’ll disappear the dislikes.
This is excellent work.
It shows the acute gaslighting in progress.
It is very difficult to disprove.
Very, very good work.
Excellent work!!!
