Joe Biden's got a social media problem: YouTube seems to be repressing Biden's many "dislikes."

This, when you think about it, is pretty grotesque.

Despite an amazing media buildup, a vote tally of supposedly 81 million votes, and lots of judges ruling in favor of Biden on the cheating issue, Biden just can't cough up much evidence of popularity out among the hoi polloi who supposedly voted for him in the majority and aren't easily controlled.

This is about par for Biden, who not only couldn't draw a crowd to his campaign rallies but who repeatedly demonstrates instances of favoring illusion over fact.  To take another example, on Twitter, Biden boasts 16% fake internet followers (which are bots and the like), which is quite a high count, particularly with Twitter now scrubbing accounts for fake followers.  Many pols have been known to put them there to appear more popular than they are (see Kamala Harris), so one can just guess the story with Biden.

Nova notes that a pretty brilliant woman named Zoe Phin has dug into the Javascript code and found that YouTube is actually repressing dislikes at this point.

In newer Whitehouse videos' the downvotes continue. Clearly the Social Media controllers have a problem. One week later, and Youtube  don't just unlist the video's [sic] — the Swat team has started deleting the deporable votes instead.

Zoe Phin downloaded the data every 80 seconds and graphed it. Within six hours of posting a video, the dislikes were nearly ten times high than the likes — but then the magic eraser of unpopularity gets to work.

Phin's code work from examining four videos, complete with charts showing those famous precipitous drops associated with Biden voting tallies, can be viewed here.

Some videos were delisted in minutes!:

Likes+Dislikes was greater than views in some cases. Although that seems impossible, Youtube updates views slower, so they do not reflect real views at the time

So it’s possible for likes and dislikes to accumulate while views stays the same. Eventually, views jumps up to better reflect reality.

The record of every time dislikes were removed is archived at https://pastebin.com/raw/F4ELDc4R

Those charts look normal to me. The are no different than the election. Nothing to see here. /S

The sudden drop in the red line reminds me of election night.

This must be fake news. I’m *sure* someone who is so popular must have millions of followers up voting every utterance from his addled criminal head... Why would a social media platform have to artificially manipulate statistics? :-/

That green “Like” line stays down there all the way through.

You know, he received 81,000,000 votes.

Hahahahahahaha!

It is just as blatant on app stores. See the removal of 100K negative reviews for the Robinhood App. Normally, that looks like a hate campaign. But when a million plus users are prevented from trading certain stocks, 10% giving a negative review IS reasonable. All deleted by Google.

I must be missing something. I just watched the video mentioned in the article and didn’t see anywhere to like or dislike it. Hello?

Ever since Clinton debated the meaning of “is”... the left decided any old lie would do, and quit taking the time to make up quality lies.

It’s not about anyone believing fraud.

It’s about fraudsters believing their lies are believed.
