Google-owned YouTube’s plan to remove the “dislike” button from videos, the easiest and bluntest way for users to express their disapproval with the content of a video, should not be viewed in isolation. It’s part of a long-running trend of elites seeking to prohibit ordinary people from speaking back to them.

The message behind all of this is clear. Elites are allowed to demonize, shame, belittle, and harass anyone they choose. But if ordinary people speak back to them in any way, even via a simple YouTube “dislike,” that’s a problem that must be addressed.

They’ll have to eliminate all comments next

Go to any Biden video on youtube and check out the comments. 99:1 are negative.

They also did this at Netflix Kanopy and a number of other sites.

No longer can leave comments under movies and can no longer rank them in some cases.

Just add a comment if the dislike button is gone. “This video is trash” would be sufficient.

Funny how all the papers, social media sites, etc all have problems with comments. Would almost think the vast majority don’t agree with what they put forward.

They can figure out why White House videos get 10,000 dislikes and 4 likes, even when they are routinely resetting them to zero.

Must be Russian trolls.

Never comment. That goes directly to your file in the Google “domestic terrorist” database.

They’re already disallowing comments on many
sites in the interest of creating “safe spaces.”

Using a fake Russian account, a VPN connection from Russia and translating the page from Russian to English stops that.

Just gotta think creatively.

YouTube regularly hits the White House YouTube channel and scrubs and resets dislikes habitually. Surprised they not fabricating view counts cause virtually all the White House YouTube vids posted have sh*t view counts to boot, ironic for a POTUS who allegedly received more votes than the idiot proclaimed to be able to walk on water but couldn’t, ObamaIdiot.

it's coming...

“In the midst of the fight for American independence, in an effort to stem revolutionary propaganda, the British imposed a colonies-wide ban on printing. As legend has it, in an act of defiance to British rule, Martha Washington commissioned a printmaker in Philadelphia named John Hewson to print a square kerchief as a gift for her husband, George. Hewson printed the cotton fabric with images of then-General George Washington alongside military flags and cannons.”

Yup. A LOT of Ebay sellers do that because Ebay sellers CANNOT leave a negative feedback towards an idiot customer. Same thing on Amazon.
