<i>Without dislikes how else are we gonna meme this year's Youtube Rewind?</i>

_Without dislikes how else are we gonna meme this year's Youtube Rewind?_

There is no point in linking the dislike removal with the failure of the youtube rewind. There is no actual eviadance proving this, don't get me wrong it is a compelling theory but it is a theory and therefore should be treated as one and not as fact.

@data wing the <b>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE</b> is too powerful? What am I saying? Of course it is

@data wing the *REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* is too powerful? What am I saying? Of course it is

DammitSinged We can bomb next year’s Rewind with flags

We type dislike in their comment section

@The Purity of Chaos I like the <b>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE</b> screech better so why not both

@The Purity of Chaos I like the *REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* screech better so why not both

Just get someone to act as the dislike button.

Just comment <b>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE</b> on it and they should get the message

Just comment *REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* on it and they should get the message

Are there any repercussions for that? to the accounts that flag? I mean either way I'm down. I'm just wondering how many alt accounts I should use lol

I would say people would just comment "dislike" but they'll probably disable those too

Yeah no dislikes YouTube is indeed bullshit not just because of the Rewind fiasco.

Y'know, I used to watch Olson. I liked his movie reviews and some of his social commentary. Eventually I stopped and unsubbed for a few years. When I came back, I remembered why I unsubbed in the first place. He's a self righteous, insufferable ass lol

as if comment dislikes do anything. Back in the early days they used to remove a thumbs up, like on reddit. Now a days it does jack all. Steam does this same practice. Think a review on Steam sucks? well down voting it is useless. Oh if you say its funny that counts! You can't downvote artwork either. Why is the button there if it does nothing? The illusion of choice? Just like a telltale game...

Perhaps that is the case of why YouTube is so filled with dislike bots

Who would have known that 2 years later he was right. Sad that this company has done so much wrong but still gets accepted. I hate how they have gone for a more business oriented company instead of the small engaging one. Now it leaves youtubers like emp in the dust.


Just because you can predict the future doesn't mean you can prevent it


Of all the words of tongue and pen
These are the saddest:
"EmpLemon was right again"


youtube certainly didnt get the memo, huh


Jesus Christ it’s finally happened. You were right all along you madman.


Shit, Luigi! We gotta do it all over again.


Rewatching this now that they're gone :(


Yup. Dislikes are now only going to be visible for uploaders and no one else.


I came here because the return YouTube dislikes extension stopped working for me. This company is garbage they don't care about there creators or viewers, I don't even think in this case that advertisers cared they're just shooting there reputation. Sadly their is not one good competitor I'm willing to use so this is what im stuck with.


Like em?
I can't even SEE em!
#1984iscoming

@Ross Orange just lost em like a day or two ago.  Terrible decision on youtube's part


I love how most of the top comments are from 2-3 days ago. Goes to show that history goes in similar circles all the time.


This video is more important now than it has ever been before.


Why did youtube disable dislike thay axt like they did bot but they pretty mutch did


When I noticed  that people have been losing the dislikes I immediately went to this video and oh god it’s happened


funny its poping out on my recomended when its relevent


How funny that this is reccomended to me now


Your general point about how yt shouldn't remove dislikes is right but your dismissal of big communities easily mass disliking creators completely ignores the point and jumps into the top 10 most disliked videos, which aren't the problem. In fact, they are one of the very few places where the dislike button works as it should. You can't extrapolate that into million subscriber and lower creators/videos. Especially not if you start by claiming highly disliked videos should be assumed controversial or bad.

The like/dislike ratio is barely usable. It needs a rework, not bland unreliable reasons for its existence like you do on this video.

Guess it doesn't matter anyways. The big corporate entity did the thing that benefits its big corporate stunts.


here, have my very useless like, internet stranger who made a very poignant video!


This video speaks as if it already happened


I can see them on certain videos for now.<br>For now.

I can see them on certain videos for now.

at least there's a extension that brings back dislikes


and whats the deal with the 11k dislikes here

I think any video talking about dislikes will get disliked more because it's funny and ironic


I never understood why people dislike videos because they disagree with it. The like and dislike buttons should be about the quality of the video.


Holy shit! It's the guy who runs the Nerds for Yang channel!!


Everyone Who disliked this just wanted to use it one more time


So why did you disable your ratings then?

jordan the whole youtube has no dislikes now

if he had disabled his ratings, you wouldn't have been able to see his likes either.


YouTube: *removes dislike button

YouTubers: *start adding strawpolls to their descriptions/pinned comments

See the only problem with that is the scummy you tubers who deserve dislikes the most wont do that because they don’t want people to dislike their shit

@Zwedgy because fuckin likes and dislikes aren't easily bottable

Why can't Youtube just implement a way to fight against dislike botting instead of straight up removing the button?

Wompa Stompa<br>Modern problem require modern solutions

Inb4 external youtube video searching and rating site that embeds youtube videos lol. I can't wait.

That's... Actually a really good idea if that goes through. Then you could ask any questions to your audience as well.


the downward spiral is immense, I'm starting to cope and seethe

rip honest youtube ratings<br>everyone, can we get an o7

rip honest youtube ratings
everyone, can we get an o7

hello people? have you noticed the covid videos that are always ratioed? i think youtube is just mad the covid information videos they've been putting out are getting ratioed by right wingers, (and im not talking about ronaldo) that's the only reason i can think of, we were getting along fine with dislikes before. i can understand but wrecking the whole site like this is like throwing a temper tantrum

@IDK Gaming <br>Nobody expects the Spanishyguy Inquisition!!

"User criticism can be easily supplemented by the comment section"

"User criticism can be easily supplemented by the comment section"

*Disables the comment section*

Yeah, a lot of comments nowadays are just shitty memes.

Time to make a video on why you hate that specific video, then.

Plus like to dislike ratio is much more simple and easy to understand than scrolling through comments

This is when you make a video that's just a power point of all the videos you dislike

Also no one gonna read 100+ comments to determine video quality. Plus a lot of criticism or arguments will just get sink on ocean of comments and only most popular will get attention (still not guaranteed, it doesn't always even categorize comments by most upvotes. It's pretty random actually. Like it has it own algorithm, which comment will be on top)

We need comments<br>Even if many are annoying and pointless, that level of direct communication is vital

According to your system this video is in the “controversial tier” that actually is a pretty accurate representation

I don’t see many people actually disagreeing with the message of the video in the comments tbh

I disliked the video (and probably a lot of other people did) because Emp likes dislikes, so I’m helping him out

Na I disliked the video cause I thought it went with the theme of the video, kinda like the neutral response video with equal likes and dislikes

@LexiTHPS Lots of people disliked to support dislikes, actually. I suppose you could call that a checkmate to YouTube removing dislikes, but they're not genuine dislikes, so I dunno, really....

i think a lot of people disliked for the meme (including me)

@luminen Nah nah Wander had the right idea, I wager people see the title and go "lol okay I'll dislike then ha ha I'm funny."

Isn’t it ironic that people are disliking this video... the people who want to remove dislikes

@🌟 Wander the Nomad when I saw the title I thought that dislikes help them get more views or something. I thought he was asking for dislikes at first

I'm pretty sure this video has more dislikes than it should purely because of it's title. Just like how pewdiepie's video where he asked everyone to keep it 50-50 between likes and dislikes is technically in the controversial tier.


Youtube: *Makes the most disliked video on youtube*
Also Youtube: We are removing the dislike feature.

Youtube: **Makes the most disliked video on youtube**
Also Youtube: We are removing the dislike feature.

Youtube essentially became the Butthurt YT Creator disabling the like/dislike button.

Why not remove it entirely. So they only LIKE it,

Comments, even negatives are still a plus to their algorithm and attention

Of course, they are doing this just for the rewind

@Alpha Lax oh yeah thats fair actually<br>sorry

@Alpha Lax oh yeah thats fair actually
sorry

@u9000 Nine yea but he stole it from the video

@Alpha Lax yes, he did seen the video; it was a joke. chill

It always reminds me of when that one kid always says break or gimme a quick break when i was just about to catch him in tag

@woah dude it appears that chaos Vader is one of the people that block for disagreeing, as they deleted their comment lol. Mind summerizing?

@Chaos Vader how is that possible... the video literally MENTIONS rewind 2018

Honestly I think i'm even more disappointed at Rewind 2019 than 2018. Because at least they tried doing something big on that one, while in the newest rewind they literally made a glorified top 10. And they kept hyping it up saying that pewdiepie was going to be in it, mr beast, etc. And while they <b>technically</b> are in the video. The only thing they did was take random footage from their normal videos, they didn't actually reunite and plan out some sort of funny skit in like the other rewinds. It's lazy and an insult to the community

Jonny oh yeah I forgot about YouTube rewind after 2019 or was it 2020? Well I don't know..


I use dislikes to know if im being clickbaited


Well, dislikes are gone now, brands won, the public lost.


they should at least pick the videos they want to censor.

for example:  I want to watch tutorial to build/construct something, instead of determining the video if its good by watching the like/dislike ratio, you now have to watch the whole thing to find out. stupid channels will win. channels  like those chinese videos who fixes everything with noodles and hot glue. or those channels who put blades on angle grinder. imagine how many injuries will occur.

in I.T. side of youtube will be flooded with uninformed people who barely speak english giving damaging tutorial on Tech and software topics. so many people will be misguided and disappointed.

no to mention a lot of industries. so many people rely on this platform because they're not a computer who can recall the information they need in moment's notice.

a lot of people rely on this platform to learn new skills.

Removing dislikes on comments was also a terrible idea that happened a long time ago... it creates comment sections that are echo chambers and cesspools of bigotry because only likes are counted, so they just pile up and up even if there are 3k people who liked the comment and 20k people who would dislike it


Hoping a brilliant dev comes around and creates a viable 3rd party solution, with an external 3rd party dislike (and perhaps likes as well) database, tracked outside of YouTube's official counts. Probably won't be too difficult to implement as a browser add-on, but unfortunately will likely be most difficult to deal with iOS users. Of course for Android, the vanced team would probably be able to implement it, but I doubt such a thing would get published to the official apple app store. I'm not talking about the existing plugin to bring back official dislike counts, which will eventually be patched out / API killed, but a long term solution. Not perfect, it won't account for the vase majority of users, but I really can't think of a viable long term solution otherwise. Removing dislikes is by far the worst decision that has ever been made on this platform, as it affects and can lead to harm for every single end user. But it's still no surprise that it's come to this, smh.


So glad im not the only one that thought of this video after seeing what YouTube did today


*_Without them, Rewind 2018 wouldn’t be as memed as it is!_*

<b>why are all of your comments in bold?</b>

@Ames Starline I have no strong feelings one way or another.

And don't forget that Futurama dislike-like meme.


The downward spiral got bigger when they took it away.

Thankfully, I still have the dislike button and the green/red colors!


This video aged like wine, simply beautiful


HE PREDICTED IT ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY EMPLEMON HE IS OUR NEW GOD WE MUST WAIT FOR HIS INSTRUCTION!

Check out the enclosed instruction book.


After today's YouTube official tweet, we need you back Emp.


Despite the fact that this video was about news that was two months old, this video has aged incredibly.


Welp here go towards the <b>downward spiral</b> we go

Welp here go towards the *downward spiral* we go


I literally came to this video just to see if YouTube removed the dislikes from it yet. Let us all look at the 11K dislikes on this video and think of a better time of YouTube.


I guess what we have to do now is type "dislike" and the reason why we dislike the video in the comments,


but here we are and they actually did it. I will miss this button a lot. From now on I will dislike every single video I see as a form of protest against this system.


emperorlemon it happened they softly removed dislikes


People who don't like dislikes: dislike the video

This video assumes that dislikes are the only way to show discontent that matters but if you think about it, it makes no sense.

@iseemtobelost if that the case then from 2017 most people started to getting hated by the YouTube rewind for obvious reasons and they're vocal about their opinion but YouTube didn't listen until 2018 were rewind became the most disliked video on the platform...

I just think he puts too much emphesis on the dislike and doesn't mention how much public opinion is swayed by other things. Dislikes dont mean that much, people will still be able to get their opinions out

@Kiwi Was Once Here Emp literally just said there's no evidence proving dislikes affect performance in the algorithm.

@D Hufflepuff You realize that hurts the video's performance in the algorithm, right?

What does Obi-Wan Kenobi have to do with that


Rip my dislikes, they finally vanished today ...


A Firefox addon called Return Youtube Dislike Stats. It restores or rather lets you see the overall number of dislikes.


Contender for best video that aged like fine wine


I know youtube has made pretty awful changes in the past but REMOVING DISLIKES?! That's just way too far! At this point, tick tok is more appropriate website.


So YouTube have started to "test" removing the dislikes. Who'd have guessed.

I have a sneaking suspicion that their "test" will yield overwhelmingly positive results.


After a week, it finally happened for me, RIP dislikes


I looked at how many dislikes there are on this video to see how many people rooted for getting rid of dislikes but then I remembered that they made the dislike button invisible


Hey you, you're awake. . .

Wait what, youtube with a dislike system?

A world without corporate sanitization?

You must have had quite a fall.


Huh. Almost like this video is very important right now…


I have a feeling that if they do get remove the dislike button then people are gonna use thumbs down emojis on the comment section to describe a dislike

@Decrona and then they just make videos about how they dislike a video.

Turn off dislikes and turn off comments. Gotta make sure that eco chamber is bound up nice and tight

@Jackson Gibbs <b>THEY SPAM THE WORD DISLIKE</b>

@Jackson Gibbs *THEY SPAM THE WORD DISLIKE*

Then they’ll get rid of the thumbs down emoji.


I don't really understand why Emp would single out Dan Olsen and Quinton Reviews? Whilst I agree that dislikes shouldn't be disabled by default I think it should be fine for a creator to choose to turn them off. Tbh it came off more like Emp just personally disagreed with some of Dan and Quinton's beliefs or was salty that Quinton blocked him on Twitter. Emp has the right to his opinion but Dan also has the right to his, maybe he was wrong about dislikes in some ways but the attacks on him in this video seem a little petty.

my thoughts exactly. also thought the counterargument to "dislike mobs" was a bit disingenuous, by looking at the most disliked videos. 99% of youtubers are not jake paul or world famous pop stars... of course they wouldn't have the highest amount of dislikes on wikipedia?


I'm from the future, it's sadly happening


Well now they're finally removing them. Dislikes are still up for me at the moment, so I'll report the ones on this video:<br>As of commenting, this video has 80,056 likes and 11,095 dislikes.

@Gimpy Knee Sac TOO SMALL just remove anything that exsists

Let’s remove all intelligent life in the universe

exactly, i've contacted youtube several times and they never listen! finally someone else out there that understands this issue!

i think its about time we remove all new technologies for the past 300 hundred years

why not remove all fucking electricity huh?

legotroop Small Plebian thoughts, computers must go too.

TriStar thinking too small, we gotta remove the internet

Why dont we just remove videos as a whole


One of the most accurate predictions of the future i’ve ever seen


Oh boy I would love an update and have an hour long rant about how he was right


I swear we always have to talk with YouTube about this every half a year


How the youtube staff meeting preceeding this discussion went:

"The dislike button makes it too easy for people to silence their opponents, which is bad because only we should get to decide who gets silenced."

How the youtube staff meeting preceeding this discussion went:

@gapple * stars would probably be the same thing. Low ratings wouldn't be pushed as hard. I don't agree with silencing but if someone things your anti blm points are dumb or something as simple as YouTube rewind how else are we gonna express it's terrible

@schtipadoo At least we can reply to them, and normally people like the comments rivaling the original comment, so I would say it's very easy to show your opinion with or without the dislike button on comments.

But the thing is, dislikes <b>don't</b> silence people. A person can get disliked to hell and back, but that doesn't effect their ability to just keep doing the same thing over and over again.

Wow this video must be amazing if it has absolutely no dislikes


Today we just got the news that your prediction was correct, say goodbye to dislikes (thanks YouTube overlords).


On the “dislikes are coming from people who haven’t even watched 5 seconds” argument, it’s correct, however I often watch sections from controversial videos on reactionary videos, dislike, and watch the video in its entirety later.


YouTube has done it, emplemon says the truth!


God damn this is so relevant it feels like a kick in the nuts


Well they've done it they've really actually done it


I was about to check in which category this video falls on and then i realize there are no dislikes. You cant make this shit up!


funny enough, this is at 88%, which lines up with the "controversial tier" of 89-80 percent


2 years later and it's finally happening


this video predicted the future and AGED LIKE LEGENDARY WINE 15:00


Just coming back to reflect on how right you were. Pain.


One very respected creator who always disables ratings is slackerVK, dude just wants to make guitar covers, and he does an excellent job.


5:10 - I always surmised that a 10:1 Like:Dislike ratio is when it starts going downhill on average. I studied it a lot lol.

Edit: 5:40 - OMG ILY, we're on the same page fam.


Looks like the dislikes are removed Forever


hey emp
can i borrow the time machine that you use to make videos that exactly predict the future.
i mean how else can you explain this being 100% accurate to what happened in 2022


At least algorithm seems to disobey its creators / Masters


If they actually remove the dislike button Im gonna lose it, I will dislike every single video I see from now on to my grave


honestly haven't liked a video in ages, and kinda felt guilty for not participating. Great content! Your boi, high boi, sent me this way


RIP. It's all about YT protecting companies. Moneymoneymoneymoneymoney


Literally PewDiePie did a can we hit 1 million dislikes video in 2016 now with the dislike button gone the video won't make sense


if you dislike this video, like the comment. Use it for the sake of just remembering dislikes in the first place


Gonna miss seeing Dramaalert's dislike ratio go up every now and then

Oh well


This reminds me of the fixed vs. growth mindset thing.


IN EXTREMELY CLOSE BEFORE 1M, we gotta spread this out MORE.


Just came back here to remember when this was just a warning and not complete prophesy :(

The Main Cause Of Warps In All Of Reality


Unfortunately, this aged like a fine fucking whiskey


Hilarious that this pops up in my feed today


Hmmmm, I'm seeing some channels like Emps with Dislikes still, but a lot of other channels like legacy media's dislikes are gone, is it a choice a channel can do, or will they all soon be invisible?


If there's anything that's aged better than wine it's this video.


Emp tried to warn us, but we didn't listen!


not sure if people actually disagree with him or just want to press that dislike button for lulz..


Whos here after youtube literally did what this video said


This is disappointing now, you can't see the dislike bar anymore.


I came right back to this video today. Emp Lemon, your a prophet.


The most important observation comes at 15:30. This is what it's all about.


Correct once again Emperor Lemon. Correct once again.


This video is more relevant now than ever before. You are ahead of your Time EmpLemon


So, who's coming back to this video after the announcement?


To funny thanks to the big-guy in US office... and legacy media complaining to google... we are here now, at least the creator still can see the dislikes.


the fact that people disliked this video prove his point

@HentaiHistorian he stated thay in the video.


This aged like fine wine and milk at the same time


3:50 "Dislike Mobs" do not and have not existed. Nobody has that many friends these days lol


We should try to get dislikes back. The viewers of youtube are the lifeblood of the platform and we deserve to have our voices heard!


Ironic how probably at least half of the dislikes were by people who wanted dislikes removed.

"Yeah, the dislike mob!!!" <br>Didn't you watch the video?

"Yeah, the dislike mob!!!"
Didn't you watch the video?

And the rest are just trolling bc of the video


Every day we stray more and more to Twitter.


I know I adore them on reddit where if you don't put /s at the end of even the most mildly facetious comment it gets dogpiled.


The downward spiral has reached its breaking point


I can't tell if people are disliking the video to show support for the dislike button, or if they're disliking it to dislike it, but either way it only prove Empy right.

The only people who actively want the dislike button gone. Are those who have extremely controversial opinions and actively get disliked a lot.  Or more the ones who aren't used to their controversial opinions being opposed.


The fact they have now completely deleted the dislike button, has also led to a huge increase in scam videos. People selling products, links, and apps that literally do nothing, and people who get scammed leave comments, but people who don't but realize what it is leave dislikes. Now you don't even get to see how many people don't trust new products.


I fucking hate that this had to age well


We need a new platform, youtube is a sinking ship and the captain is ordering the crew to make more holes


there is gonna be a follow up video about this since now youtube made the worst mistake in the companies history. but removing dislikes


I thought it was kinda weird to make an example out of Dan Olson until you showed he was an actual youtuber putting his opinions out there and turning off ratings and not just a guy on Twitter

It's funny that Dan removed ratings on a couple of his videos, considering one of them is just about editing (where he just talked trash about Suicide Squad, something everyone at the time was doing)

The other one I can think of is admittedly really spicy, one about authorial intent and accountability in freedom of speech (which is pretty ironic)

Unlike what Emp suggests, Dan really doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would be cowering from internet hate, he seems really savvy about the inner workings of the platform, and has worked on videos about much more dangerous subjects, and the ratings are still up, so that behavior seems kinda odd

@Fries Analyses on media (film, TV shows, sometimes games) and politics sometimes

I actually recommend his stuff, but he's very much a leftist, so you may not enjoy it as much as I do, I dunno

To be fair, there are tons of Twitter users that shouldn't even have a YouTube channel due to their toxicity.


Rip Dan Olson got his wish.

Tbh, Reddit’s system is like a goddamn middle ground, and it’s ok I guess

Edit: it’s just the idiots on Reddit who ruin it


Bad news: Over 3 years later, and YouTube actually removed them.


Welp, they effed up again. Emplemon, you were right!


Youtube: *Changes/removes something everyone actually enjoys on youtube without telling anyone *

Viewers and creators: Oh shit, here we go again

it starts with "Ah" not "Oh" just to correct you on that.
The source of the sentence is also in the video at 8:54

Did you comment this to derek gerards video?


Man I wish this dislike number isn't disappearing right now.


Clearly YouTube had a different idea in mind


Well, the spiral continues. RIP dislikes


"For every massively unpopular feature that nobody likes and Youtube rolls out anyway, they all begin the same way with Youtube teasing it and treating it like a non-committal optional thing. And then it becomes default for the whole site." <br>Oh no

"For every massively unpopular feature that nobody likes and Youtube rolls out anyway, they all begin the same way with Youtube teasing it and treating it like a non-committal optional thing. And then it becomes default for the whole site."
Oh no

@Quilly they teased it back then but they just made the announcement that they’re planning to slowly roll out hiding dislikes to anyone but the channel owner.

Welp looks like its happened. Truly a sad day.


they should have just had it to where you have to watch a good chunk of the video to rate it.


Why is it that every video you seem to make is somehow relevant to the future? I mean, look at the Leafy one! You're a fucking madlad


“Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new
evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it
is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.”

@ZackWeaw InZeWalmart Yes, the left does target younger people more, but that kinda goes with the whole liberal thing anyway. I will say though, that their marketing is often incredibly shallow. Conservatives tend to be more direct, for better or for worse.

@Enfield_the_Enigmatic <br>I know. But factually, lefties are mostly the ones that suffer from cognitive dissonance, considering that they are the one of the last sides to still use propaganda as a ressource to brainwash teenagers.

@ZackWeaw InZeWalmart Politics in general is full of cognitive dissonance, that's why it is important to stay in the center and not label yourself as being on one side.


This video: exists

YouTube: "I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that"

This video: *exists*

YouTube: *"I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that"*


10/11/21 further down the downwards spiral we go


this video is infinitely funnier now that youtube has admitted to watching it

@Riah maybe they won't delete it this time (as if)

Can someone post the course again? Seems relevant to today

@BlazingRoman disappointed but not surprised

and then they proceeded to completely ignore it as of today

@L.Perpenhente watch out, theres snipers on us

@alonectorch  ask YouTube, oh wait a minute

why do comments on this thread keep getting deleted

@mixed narwhal it's since been deleted, do you happen to still have it?

@Zenner Oh yeah I did see that, and they're clearly trying to downplay what they're doing and pretending like they're listening...

Please provide a source for those who are curious


@EmpLemon you were right. thoughts on your whole video prophecizing the goddamn future?


I think Politics and ‘Any review of the Last Jedi’ both fall under politics

Chennzy The Last Jedi’s a shit movie that tried to hide its problems with shoehorned politics. So, reviewing it usually bleeds into the politics, but not always

NetworKrakle The Last Jedi is not politics it is fact that is a abomination

Politics vs a politically fueled movie that’s also not very good. They definitely overlap in some areas, but the Last Jedi’s shit for more reasons than just politics

Debates regarding leadership and how a location should be run and any reviews of the 2017 live action film known as star wars the last jedi, are one in the same

Politics and Any review of the Last Jedi are different. I would say that they both fall under opinions.


The Downward Spiral has hit the Chandrasekhar limit


likes prophets of old. it was bound to come some day


They always start with small experiments and then they do it


we should have listened, bur yet we laughed


I have come from the future to tell you that YouTube did it again.


genius to remove dislike buttons... now i write down my hatred into the comment section more frequently


i hope someone makes a chrome addon to show dislikes


Without dislikes, YouTube rewind 2018 wouldn't even be a meme. So yes, we  need the dislike button.

Why did anybody care about “YouTube rewind”? I’ve never even really known what it is, and I’ve been here since 2007. I guess it’s YouTube’s own year end highlight reel but who even watches it?

they only thought of this because of yt rewind lets be real

they want to erase the shame of 2018

@Curshburger because it's fucking garbage, it was crying for a celebration, but it did get a celebration alright, just not a good one 😂

B O N K O N T H E H E A D It’s sooo bad tho why would it be a celebration

It shouldn’t have been a meme. It should’ve been a genuine celebration of YouTube.


it's done. they did it. they pulled the trigger


Lots of nonsensical instances where YouTube displays biased reluctance over an alteration due to “constrictions [their] platform contains,” as if they somehow can’t just add quality of life improvements to the features they themselves have constricted. “Dislikes harm a video’s presence on the front page due to what the algorithm prioritizes.” Ok, so you can’t alter the algorithm so that’s not the case? “Annotations are impractical for the platform as a whole, they don’t even work on mobile.” Ok, then implement them on mobile.

If what you said was outright bad and not even in a funny way people will just not respond to you, and the silence resulting from that is ironically more deafening and hurtful than any amount of angry (You)s coming your way.

3:34 YouTube worrying about 'opposing views' getting censored 😂😂😂😂😂😅🤣🤣🤣🤣


YouTube has a strange sense of humor recommending this now


YouTube has a twisted sense of humor recommending this to me now.


I know this is crazy YouTube but please hear me out, when a bunch of people dislike the video it's almost as if...they didn't like the video.

FishSquadDelta King Crimson ability is to skip beatifuly animated scenes made by David Productions to justifyably pay the workers less.

Is this how king crimson actually works?


Oh Emp, we're from the future, it's not looking bright at all


now we will never see those thousands of joke dislikes on a dislike related video


I sense EmpLemon making a video about YouTube removing the dislike ratio information from the public eye


YouTube is still salty about rewind 2018.


Well, you called it. Dislikes are gone and so is this video sharing platform. Goodbye, everyone.


"that one seems kinda like uh, not super democratic, in my opinion"


lmfao ironic that this ended up in my reccomended


I'm just put this here...<br>welcome to odysee: we have dislikes

I'm just put this here...
welcome to odysee: we have dislikes


Not even 2 full years later and YouTube's actually gonna try and remove public dislikes.

I say we all go back to Newgrounds.

@TFrills bitchute is awful, don't bother

Newgrounds servers are too small to handle a large amount users.
This has been proven twice, first when [S] Cascade was hosted there & second when Friday Night Funkin' Week 7 became a timed exclusive there.
There isn't a massive population so moderation is less tight, if you're gonna have that many people. You're gonna need bots.

Newgrounds sounds like fun but..<br>Nostalgia is not going to save us this time.

They can only dislike something once. You can't do it heavily on purpose.


They’re actually fucking doing it I can’t believe it


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

THE SPIRAL GROWS!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

THE SPIRAL GROWS!


17:28 this dude just tried to advocate for having an echo chamber. Thats how people get stupid, dan


We need dislikes so that Neutral Response can remain neutral!

well, if dislikes are gone, ppl should take likes off the video, but there is a problem<br>as i m typing this, sice april 14th 2009, 475,261 ppl liked it, some accounts may not be active and some ppl may have forgotten this

as i m typing this, sice april 14th 2009, 475,261 ppl liked it, some accounts may not be active and some ppl may have forgotten this

@Humberto's I disliked your comment to balance it out. Does that work?

As soon as dislikes are completely gone, Neutral Response will be the best example of YT's downfall


Leaving this video a dislike and soon my opponent will be eradicated.


This video has become more relevant than it ever has been.


Meeting ppl with somewhat similar dislikes is always a plus. Like, If you like pizza with pineapple, I might have to pass lol or pick it off. Not everyone knows exactly what all the like or dislike. However though you find out. I know some may be biased before they try or view it from the type of attention it receives. Though if your just going to judge by where the crowd goes, that's band wagoning.ie, "everybody likes mj" , or the best sports team or hometown team. Instead of just forming the own opinion, whether the a reason or not. I mean all do have our own brain got a reason, use it sometimes. Dislikes are important just as much as likes. Some people are overtly hyper critical about everything, but they have that right too. And some are the complete opposite. Youtube didn't do right by this update, in my own opinion. If its dislikes bots or like bots they should do something to protect against it. And yes the both types of bots.


i love how relevant this video is now.......


I love dislikes! One of my most popular videos "CSGO - "Hundredth, FREE" Is The Worst Music Kit👎" has over 657 dislikes and I think it's only right that I try to keep the score up. YouTube is wishing there's this hugbox system where nobody stands in the way of them making money and taking it from viewers without the possibility of feedback or any kind of way for uploaders to improve. It's totally pathetic of them to do it. Thanks for the upload man.


you predicted the future. i hereby declare you my prophey


As soon as Youtube announced they were going to remove visible dislikes, I thought of this video, well that and the one on Neutral response.


Also about 70%+ of youtube viewers are on mobile, and the dislike bar doesn’t appear.

Coincidence I Think N O T

Also about 70%+ of youtube viewers are on mobile, and the dislike bar doesn’t appear.

*Coincidence I Think N O T*

@كلفل Clivil I for me its more like if theres 20,000k likes and 20,999k dislikes theres no difference but if theres 2,000k likes and 2,999 dislikes it shows 2,0k and 2,9k

I can see the dislikes but the bar doesn't exist

Yeah I'm on mobile and it shows a rough estimate of the likes and dislike which is stupid


And further we go into the downward spiral...


Man you should redo this video since they’re hiding the dislikes. Plus the dislike ratios you showed in this are nothing compared to the White Houses YouTube page


I said this in that other video Team YouTube posted recently, but it sucks how the most likely outcome from this controversy is that we'll complain for a couple of weeks, YouTube will give a half assed reply, we'll sperg out some more and then everyone will go back to watching stuff on this site. We'll adapt to it, sure. And then YouTube will crack down on that and we'll get backed into another corner, and this will keep repeating until there's no more corners to  run off to.

It honestly sickens me how much our inertia is going to aid YouTube in continuing to treat us (the viewers and creators alike) like shit.


There is a lot of dislikes on this video, and I can assume they are from pro removing dislikers

See why they are useful?


Damn, this video is has aged either beautifully or poorly.


The more I watch Emplemon videos the more I lose hope in this entire plain of existence.<br>Oh well, I guess you could say we are all on a downward spiral.

The more I watch Emplemon videos the more I lose hope in this entire plain of existence.
Oh well, I guess you could say we are all on a downward spiral.


I AM LITERALLY YIIKING OUT RN, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!


According to EmpLemon's like/dislike chart his video is between the 'Disputed tier' and 'Controversial tier' which is actually quite similar to the theme of it. Nice >:]


This is literally more apparent than ever


This video popped into my recommendation at the most convenient time


Here to possibly mourn the dislike button. Things like "Neutral Response" will no longer be publicly balanced either :(


This man is single handedly now The Simpson’s


I'm getting drunk from this video because it aged like wine


This isn’t over! Use me as the dislike button!


Well, we didn’t take his warning and now,

Here we are.


Picture this: I'm a young, uninformed viewer; I click onto a video discussing a topic I'm unfamiliar with. Without the dislike button, I would have no way of knowing that what I'm being presented is flawed or inaccurate.

Now of course, ideally, everyone would apply critical thinking and do their own research, but the truth of the matter is that a lot of the younger audience, and even a good portion of the older audiences will take a video for what it is. Even if, in the end, you and up agreeing with the message anyway, it's important to understand that what you're watching is contestable.

It’s kind of like a product with reviews. If I see a product with a bad rating I’m going to look at the reviews to see why. If I see a video with a lot of dislikes I’m going to look at the comment to see why

@UB Yeah, you're right, "tank" was definitely exaggerated. But on the other hand I find it hard to imagine that no one ever decides to stop a video early on because of dislikes.

@Amones-Ray "videos to tank" Do you mean the reputation of the videos or the actual performance? Because yeah, there's basically no proof that dislikes hurt a video's performance (unless I guess a YouTube employee dislikes it, but it wouldn't be the dislike itself that would affect it)

@UB My point was that like bars can allow videos to tank despite all the people who disliked it not being able to argue against it. This is most likely if the video conflicts with beliefs that a large portion of the population acquired at a very young age from members of the preceding generation. In other words, it's most likely that the video conflicts with views that were and possibly still are mainstream: i.e. conservative views.

@Amones-Ray "conservative views" Why was that clearly political jab necessary in your hypothetical?

@𝖁𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖊𝖓𝖙 𝕴𝖗𝖐𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖆 🐲 𒀭𒌉𒍑 𒄫 𒅇𒋗𒃲 That is true, but I'll relate it to this; if one riot breaks out, does that mean that the right to protest should be taken away? While there will always be the occasional riots throughout history, they shouldn't overshadow the many, many more peaceful protests that go on all the time.

That may have been a tad dramatic, but I believe it does well to illustrate my point.

Additionally, I'd say that calling it a "dislike mob" immediately acts to take away any reason or understanding from the occurrence. It's important to understand that 'dislike mobs' don't happen out of nothing, there is a reason why they occur, illogical or otherwise. While there are occasions where the 'dislike mob' is driven by things such as; a person sending people to try and silence someone, a reaction to someone sharing an unpopular opinion, or cancel culture, it is just as likely, if not more so, that the so-called "dislike mob" is acting in reaction to something that warrants such a reaction.
And when I say "warrants such a reaction," I don't necessarily mean that it's something that is completely objective. I'm referring to anything that's considered 'controversial.' Even if I don't agree with something, it's important for it to be represented as something that causes a divide in opinion. Silencing disappearances and hate doesn't make them disappear, nor does it benefit the uninformed. If were silence dialogue and opinions, then we silence our ability to grow our own opinions, and understand the opinions of others; even if we don't agree.
Just because something is negative, doesn't mean it's bad. We can't grow if we don't accept that and face reality, even if it is unpleasant.

But the like/dislike system has a tendency to be abused by people who want to crush dissenting voices. So-called "dislike mob."

𝖁𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖊𝖓𝖙 𝕴𝖗𝖐𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖆 🐲 𒀭𒌉𒍑 𒄫 𒅇𒋗𒃲

Aside from me using dislikes rationally, I also need it when someone posts like, a fake news story with click bait. Like, I can't find info on this but the title says it's true, what do the comments say? Oh they're generally positive? I'm sure the creator isn't deleting comments or anything.

@Amones-Ray I agree with you 100%,  I think it's important to keep a critical mind, for both sides. Speaking from personal experience, I've fallen on both sides of the situation. I've seen videos where I had no idea something was off until I saw the dislikes, and I've seen videos where I saw the dislikes but watched anyway, and still agreed with what I've heard. My point was in no way insinuating that a person should use that a determining factor every single time, but more so that it's a very important tool to assist in critical thinking and understanding that should not be taken away. I also was referring more to the kinds of videos where a person is telling a 'story,' making an accusation, or an apology. In these situations the dislike ratio would usually imply that there's something you're missing in the details, they're being deceptive, or other such things. Now of course, you should still always consider that the people disliking the video could be the ones misinformed or in the wrong, but that doesn't make their opinion any less valuable to a critical mind.
It seems though, that you were thinking in terms of me political content, in which case I believe that there will always be a very high ratio of dislikes, as is always the case with controversial or button issues. However, although it really shouldn't be given as much thought in a political setting, it still does hold value.

Anyway, I realise this was a bit long, but I do hope you see where I'm coming from.

@u9000 Nine Sorry for a very late reply but anyway. To clarify what I meant. I'm a lazy bastard so I have a bad habit of taking info at face value. On occasion I remind myself how flawed of a view that is and that I could very well be wrong about anything and/or everything I know. So I know nothing and my bad habit is I pretend I do know something. What I should do is check sources and think critically. But I'm a lazy bastard who don't do what I should.

Occasionally this comes back to bite me and I end up looking like a fool in a conversation. I proceed to metaphorically kick myself and remind myself I'm lazy and somewhat dumb and to try in the future to proceed with more caution with subjects I think I know but need to remind myself I might not know. My info is surface info that hasn't been checked a lot of the time and I should stick to speaking about topics I've actually checked the sources for or simply admit I'm out of my depth.

It isn't a dual message. (at least I don't think so) probably just confusing? English is my second language so I wouldn't be surprised if my wording is garbage. Sorry for that. the TL:DR of my two point's I was making is below.

-you should always be critical that's the ideal.
-I'm lazy and human. So I'm bad at always being critical and I don't like myself for that.

Picture this: I'm a young, uninformed viewer; I click on a video discussing a topic I'm unfamiliar with. The video is well researched and academically sound but the majority of past viewers disliked it anyway because it conflicts with their conservative views. That might make me not watch the video at all.<br>If people only look at things the majority already agrees with, how are we supposed to keep progressing?

@Psi Pi I am so confused by the dual points, what is your main point? (actually asking not trying to be mean)

@Nilstrieb same but I kick myself for it. I have ended up thinking some pretty dumb things simply because I was presented with an agreeable video with a lot of likes so I didn't think too critically about it to later have it bite me. I'd call it a bad habit and you should always be on your guard... And what machine of a person will do that? Not me I'm lazy but at least I go with the presumption even things I think absolute truths could be horribly wrong. Sooo... Moral of the story, always be open minded. But hey what do I know?

When I see that a video has a lot of dislikes, I just start to think critically more.


We were warned, but we didn't do anything.


November 30 2021<br>The dislike are officially gone.

November 30 2021
The dislike are officially gone.


Lmao, EmpLemons editor must fucking hate him with the edit around 14:42 😂


that was a weirdly aggressive detour about Dan.


YT finally took away measuring Dislikes after this video, next is taking Dislikes away altogether.


people who disagree with this video and press dislike are kinda sus


Ladies and gentlemen , they did it . Youtube died in 2017 , all because of Vox defemating youtube and pewdiepie .

@belk Tf do you mean? Vox and Wsj lied about youtube and caused the adpocalypse. (Which was when youtube went down hill for me )


it is a sad day indeed. they are gone. the neutrality has been lost.


9:24
YouTube claims they watched this video then totally dodged this point lol. What is this company


Just watched this for the first time about 2 weeks ago. Back to help get it in the algorithm.


Youtube: I think... we should read the comments

Also Youtube: Comments have been disabled for this video

Youtube: I think... we should read the comments

Also Youtube: *Comments have been disabled for this video*


How about rather giving the direct option to comment after a dislike where you can state why you disliked and do it like constructive criticism could be ? I mean I can see people misusing that feature but hey when did stuff on youtube go smooth for once ..


8:45 Cherrypicking I see, I'm sure there are plenty of other examples aside from Dan Olson, but no you picked him so you can make him a soyjack.


YOU FORGOT SOMETHING ABOUT THE COMMENT POINT

MrComit yeah? Remind me again who was allowed to edit video without reuploading it when it was officially impossible to do?

He said that. That was his criticism on that argument

@ZackWeaw InZeWalmart Point is, Russian bots alone aren't the ones hating on the Youtube Rewind.

Well, large enough accounts can apparently also delete dislikes. Not that I'm trying to invalidate your point. I'm just saying the system is _fucked._

@FlexViper That is an annoying and time-consuming process. You'd have to spend all day making accounts, and you'd barely accomplish anything. 30 accounts equal 30 dislikes, which is nothing.

People can Keep making channel and spam 'dislike'

Yeah, but huge corporations can delete even dislikes.

>inb4 EmpLemon deletes your comment for the luls


And now we need to rely on add-ons and extensions to show dislikes again. Bravo Youtube, you have made Rick Perry's dream Youtube a reality.


It's funny because I did this exercise of Dislike separation and 10% basically statistical standard. Also I do have a criticism on this video goes on for 5-7 minutes too long.

The whole spiel explaining how dislikes are good for self improvement, unnecessary.


If I come across a video that has ratings disabled, there's a 90% chance I'm just ditching it unless it's something I particularly wanted to see. I'll usually just assume the video would have 50% dislikes if it were showing them, and it's not worth my time.


A good example of the meaning of dislikes are recent Call of Duty trailers


I bet that by 2023 they will deactivate comments to protect "people who need it" ie, people that did bad things and don't want to hear criticism or hate.


we’ll just get loads of “use me as a dislike button”

I'll be commenting 👎<br>a lot fucking more

@Muffin Man They didn't exactly hide dislikes. It's just a 'total score' based on likes minus dislikes, except it doesn't let it show negative numbers for whatever reason. But at least we still have that, rather than a complete removal of dislikes.

It's just amazing all that they try to force upon us, but then we always find some way around their shit and make them look like fools.

I wonder about the dislike button on comments.

@Just Vibin They have a longer road to travel before they just take videos down that they don't like for no reason so yeah, I could see that.

Xryeau _ They'll make a video titled "like this video for the dislikes"


Youtube seemed to have proved Emplemon right once again.


I was like, o check how many people disagree with this video. oh wait, youtube removed the dislike button


If dislikes are gone, this site would turn into Instagram.<br>Just this false positivity that we know doesn't exist.

If dislikes are gone, this site would turn into Instagram.
Just this false positivity that we know doesn't exist.

I think its a blunt idea from youtube, but I don't like emp's reception to it.

TheMikirog it would be Netflix all over again


Aged like fine wine! Then YouTube broke the bottle.... lol


I enjoy this popping up in our current system


Theoretically this video should have zero dislikes. Because the people who disagree and think dislikes shouldn't exist obviously wouldn't use the feature they despise so much, right?

But yeah, great video! Unsubbed

Now YouTube is actually disabling dislikes

@Phyo Kyaw Khaing thank you. It appearsI've been using the terms interchangablu

@Danielle Wilson satire is used in comedic fashion while sarcasm gives a negative notation.

I’m a guess it’s a joke/sarcasm/satire. What’s the difference between sarcasm and satire?

You can agree with his point but still dislike the video for rhetoric and presentation reasons

It’s kind of like not everyone who watches a video has to agree with it you soggy waffle.


Oh i cannot WAIT for the next Emplemon video


We lost. Time to switch to another site.


without dislikes the youtube rewind would only have 200 likes

But the dislikes out numbers it  almost entirely

It has currently 2.5 million likes though

Yup wouldn’t matter too much anyway there


The Youtube algorithm is a sick bastard.


And it seems that it never ages well at all no matter what...


Guess now we can use the like to view count ratio.


I love the "Ys" music back drop. That's a good series


i congratulate you, i don't know how you managed to predict this but congrats


i could have lived without seeing that 4chan post


THERES ONLY ONE DIRECTION THE SPIRAL GOES, AND ITS DOWN


Oh boi, I clicked the dislike just to see if it was really gone and all I got was a popup that said, "The creator has been informed"


this man predicted the future of the future predicted


When i heard the news of youtube "testing" to remove the dislike button, this video immediately came to my mind. You were right EmpLemon, you were right.


Why do we use youtube if its just gonna become shittier overtime.

Because we as collective consumers are unwilling to move to another platform. As Emp himself has said, sadly with most changes people will hemm and haw for a while and still use Youtube despite how fucked the situation is.


Scince youtube has officially removed dislikes, this shit aged like a fine wine


"Since I can't see anyone who disagrees with me, that must mean everyone agrees with me!"

A brilliant delivery of a sad truth.


THE MAD MAN WAS RIGHT, GOD DAMMIT WHY DIDNT WE LISTEN!


DOWNWARD SPIRAL.
DOWNWARD SPIRAL.
DOOOOOOWARD SPIIIIIRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL-


we all know some big company payed youtube to remove dislikes


Well boys it happened the end times are near


I mean it was inevitable, but here we are today 🙄


It's crazy that this is being recommended again.  I wonder why...


1000IQ move, Bring back the star rating!


It's over. They've actually removed it. No longer states how many people disliked, it just shows the word 'dislike'. RIP.


Clearly, YouTube hasn’t watched EmperorLemon. Also Rest In Peace leetag’s Neutral Response video and the Byleth direct

Losing dislikes on neutral response is a loss to internet history, but the outrage to the byleth direct was frankly stupid and unearned.


We are now one step closer to YouTube becoming TikTok.

too late, with all of the weird gacha girls in comment sections, i'd say that we're pretty much american tik tok.


RiP<br>But you can get dislikes with the suspicious «Youtube Dislike Button» extension.

RiP
But you can get dislikes with the suspicious «Youtube Dislike Button» extension.


They're just still salty about YouTube Rewind lmao

If they remove the like button you can't compare the amount of likes to the amount of comments to see whether it's good or not. Edit: Or, better yet, compare likes to views.

You deserve a pinned comment and a plethora of dislikes...


Here it's time for twitter to add a dislike button but youtube is the one removing it. We're doomed.


This is just the start of the downfall of youtube


2 years and still no dislikes and 87k like. Just proves how well this age


17:30 Olson literally advising people to stay & create echo chambers :D
Cool


I have a lot of difficulty writing comments that I feel comfortable posting. I can just get a bit obsessive with my wording or worry that I'm not communicating my intent clearly or just feel uncomfortable leaving my opinion out for everyone to see. For me, ratings are a must.

Yo, me too. Honestly, I could spend up to half an hour writing a comment, mainly because I feel the wording could always be better and more fluid, and that I had much more to say but didn't want it to turn into tl;dr. Right now I feel I have a better grasp of it but yeah, I still hesitate posting anything most of the time :P


its ironic watching this now. He predicted it.


i use this thing called return youtube dislike, its pretty good on browsers


EmpLemon, the YTP who also does commentary.

A golden channel with wonderful content for people who seeks the second opinion.


Legit makes me wonder if there were any videos out there that had no likes but over 100,000 dislikes. What about THOSE!?


That’s crazy. I just watched this video again the other day and now it’s happening


19:29 thank you, now I need a lobotomy to forget that


Disliked this video while I still can<br>RIP Youtube Dislikes 2010-2021

Disliked this video while I still can
RIP Youtube Dislikes 2010-2021


When you mentioned the removal of the dislike button, my mind instantly went to what'll happen to the "Neutral Response" video.

Maybe we can balance the likes and comments saying "Dislike"

AND MY AXE..  Yes, neutral response, the only thing more neutral than sweden.

Fucking hell, they're going to ruin a classic

You have stirred people's hearts. Including mine. Well said <3

Glad to see I'm not the only one who's worried about Neutral Response.


What a time for this to show up in my recommended. :')


RIP Dislike Button
2007 - 2021
Kenosha Kid did nothing wrong


I am willing to bet if you were to show YouTube this video, they won't even listen.


Thanks EmpLemon for continuing to keep Stefan alive 9:45

Stefan will never be forgotten, he'll live on in our hearts, such a great meme...

The Lamer Gamer I have forgotten and I am extremely ashamed of myself,I think stef deserves another short moment of silence

F


We must do it ourselves now. Use the comment function as a tool for feedback


Ive made a habit of posting the following comment on relevant videos:

"This is a friendly reminder that the reason Youtube eliminated the dislike button is to limit your ability to readily tell if other people also think something is a bad idea."

Feel free to join me.


How are comments harder to spam? I see so many relentless spam/harassment style comments, and reporting it does nothing. The only way to get rid of someone spamming the comments, is to notify the creator, which isn’t always easy to do, plus the creator has to care enough to do something about it.


“if the video has less than 50% likes there is probably something wrong with you“

>insert youtube rewind here


i appreciate your usage of the btd soundtrack


Now youtube are taking out the dislikes.  This video predicted this so well. Although we all should have seen this coming.  I care about youtube because I see a ton of videos here; between 10 and 20 per day. I AM GOING TO PROTEST. For two weeks starting tomorrow, I will not see any videos from youtube. This is my last hope and effort. Youtube will not see my ad money here.

I have comment this to many videos and to many youtubers I see. But if the case is that youtube doesn´t retract.  I have said goodbye to each youtuber I see. I thank them for the awesome work they do. It is hard for me to think I will not see them again; if I must go, I will go. Hopefully, youtube changes just this thing... I really hope so.


This aged well unfortunately.<br>Thanks a lot CensorTube.

This aged well unfortunately.
Thanks a lot CensorTube.


This video shouldn’t have gotten more relevant


Anyone else sharing the hell out of this now?


Well it finally fucking happen. I hate this shit site.


Came back because of

Recent times....

And realized emplemon put an oprah ytp clip in this. God i feel old


Wow youtube recommended me this just when they remove the dislike button<br>what kind of sick kick you getting out of this SUSAN

Wow youtube recommended me this just when they remove the dislike button
what kind of sick kick you getting out of this SUSAN


The "dislikes are binary" complaint...  Ah, maybe we could have a 1-5 star rating system?
Oh wait, they did that for years and everyone only hit "1" or "5" anyway.
Binary is what we go to when given the choice.

@Galfin SP then you could extrapolate the dislikes, then what would the point be

What if they gave a percentage of likes?


11K people seem to agree with you a lot!


what if we start disliking every video we watch


Wow killer Keemstar predicted the removal of dislikes!


Dislikes allow the audience to orient themselves to reality.


Did youtube listen? No. Will youtube ever listen? Also no.


Emplemon can predict anything Youtube related, change my Mind.


Now that Youtube has removed dislikes I think It would be a good idea to post a comment that says like this comment if you dislike the video then pin it


To anybody who is just as slow as me, there's an extension to fix current stupid youtube change. <br>Please share this info where you find it to be nessesary.

I guarantee some of those 10,000 dislikes were people who actually liked the video

I mean, any video talking about dislikes will probably have more dislikes anyway


Removing dislikes was done expressway for big companies and shit like that. Things like GTA V revealed on next gen consoles, that get massive amounts of views but <b>NOBODY</b> likes the fact that it’s a thing. How do they trick the average viewer into thinking the perception of a video with 50K likes and a million dislikes is actually liked by the people? Hide the dislikes. Let them just see how many people liked it, and the view count. It’s completely disgusting

How about a pinned comment by the creator, periodically updated to reveal the dislike count


This video genuinely feels like it advocates for freedom. I'd hate the idea of the dislike button being removed.


I wonder if all the dislikes are from the people that agree or don't agree?


Hey but now we can "bully" behind the meme


Emplemon's editing style is a national treasure.


>if only you knew how bad things really are


Came back to rewatch this gem now that dislikes are dead


The prophecies are true. YouTube, spirals further down.


Oh boy I wonder why this is the first thing that shows up for emplemon in the search bar


Who'da thunk? They finally did it..

Well, here's a free comment and hidden dislike to pump up the algorithm! 😂


youtube removes dislikes

everyone disliked that.

*youtube removes dislikes*

everyone disliked that.


It really didn't; given the fact that this video was made when they were thinking about doing it.<br>It was also bound to happen at some point as YouTube must protect muh brands and muh political figures. This feature is just the worst. I wish that some other platform can overtake YouTube in popularity.

Browser addon "Return youtube dislikes", shows you dislikes but they only update every few days.


I think we need a sideways thumb, for the mediocre videos

@Unknown No not really they got rid of it due to advertizers got pushed down due to they always got 1 to 2 stars for thier ad videos

@lakamokolaka yeah but i think the star system is just not really good in the modern internet i mean look at the google play reviews most of them is 5 stars or 1 star so its basically the same system

@Unknown Yah used because stars are gone due to google wanting to be more like facebook back then

Meh. Just don't like or dislike a video. Giving people too many options makes  them do nothing anyway, and people love to fence sit. Make a decision.

There's a reason we don't have the star system anymore

Taking from the video we've all just watched you could also rate according to the like to dislike ratio.

@Windmill Hills then dont like or dislike

@lakamokolaka yeah and nobody used the 3 star rating they mainly only used the 5 and 1 star ratings

Or the star system. Remember that? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

If you don't have a strong opinion, then you don't need to add a rating!

@Omaha Bibble Maddox hahHhahahah you're God damn right

Don't forget to add a thumb pointing 45 degrees upward and and a thumb pointing 45 degrees downwards for a complete five-point rating system.

@Omaha Bibble Maddox We used to have stars isnt 3 stars basically a medicore rating?

Yeah, too many videos I've watched I don't like or dislike. They're just kinda... Existing?


This is only a workaround.
"Return Youtube Dislike" lets you see the dislike counter again.
Apparently this add-on won't work in future.
Let's hope guys

is there an extension to stop youtube shadowbanning your comments


3:53   ah yes , the comment section , so that when we comment , we can open ourselves to reports and get our whole account suspended (which is essentially a lifetime ban , dont know why they call it suspension) for a few comments and not be able to appeal.


how does this video only have 2 dislikes


I’ve been waiting for this to get reccomended


I appreciate the Bloons TD music, I've been playing a lot of it

Thanks I was wondering why it sounded familiar.

BTD has monkeys in it.<br>OH MY GOD HE REMEMBERED MUMKEY JONES!

BTD has monkeys in it.
OH MY GOD HE REMEMBERED MUMKEY JONES!

BTD5 is the best Tower Defense game ever.

Yeah. He trully captures the music state

<b>My brain instantly flicked on when I heard it, nostalgia hit me like a boulder 😵</b>

*My brain instantly flicked on when I heard it, nostalgia hit me like a boulder 😵*

I remember going up to my grand parents house during the summer when both my parents were working and playing ballons td 5 on miniclip. I love that game

@HAHA ISN'T IT FUNNY? It was earlier on, and it was specifically from the 5th game

@Mandel  Around the middle, you should watch the video in its entirety though, to find it.


Posting comment to boost this video as they have done it


Man, thought I was going crazy. Playing BTD in the background with the sound off.


This reminds me of the "remove random crits" debate, but flipped around

@Pokémaniac Guquiz Competitive mode sucks and you know that. I'm tired of this arguement being brought up, it's stupid. I want to be able to enjoy this game as it was meant to be played instead of playing a cobbled together cs:go comp wannabe.

@Enfield_the_Enigmatic They are disabled in Competitive mode, so...

@Pokémaniac Guquiz Random crits are a detriment to TF2's competitive enviroment. Besides, it's always frustrating to get killed by someone you know didn't deserve it. It has gotten to the point where I get frustrated with the game when I crocket someone.

Lmao you guys use random crits? Bruh I just have 5 pocket kritz medics

how about just not play tf2 and avoid the argument completely

@Pokémaniac Guquiz heard  of the negativity bias?

Also, for anyone confused on how this is the same but the opposite, in the crit debate, people want to remove a mechanic because the dev wont on their own, and in this argument, people want a mechanic to stay, because the devs are showing interest in removing said mechanic. That is all.

@Pokémaniac Guquiz That demo/soldier/pyro camping your spawn is more likely to get crits regardless, since they arent stuck in spawn, but i do get your point. It helps sometimes.

@George Liquor here is also a whole video dedicated to defending it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pij5aoehWUw

@Pokémaniac Guquiz We have a whole video dedicated to why Crits are bad with actual solid points and you probably chose to ignore it in favor "because its fun".

Why do Anti Crits arguments boil down to having a killstreak or pubstomp ruined?

Why are Pro Crits believers only "vaild" reason to keep it is because it's "fun".

breaking news: they are not the only ones with access to random crits

Random Crits add to TF2's wackiness. It also helps get rid of that Pyro/Soldier/Demo that camps your spawn and gives a bit more reason to use your melee.

I really hate random crits I always die to a kroocket when I'm on a high killstreak


Um, yah, about that like button.  Wouldn't it be great if many people decided just not to use it anymore, right?

Thanks, that would be great.


The only channel this'll improve is How to Basic


It finally happened, that wonderful dislike button is gone.


It would be cool if you made an update video about this topic


Today is the day YouTube died. RIP dislikes.


Damn I thought this was a new video for a minute


They did it....<br>They can't keep getting away with this......THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!

They did it....
They can't keep getting away with this......THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!

they will.<br>because people are still using the site.

26:10 just gotta correct you on since Norway, while not in the EU is in the EEA


Wow everyone seems to agree, after all, there are no dislikes.


Disliked. Not because I think this video is crap. In fact I like it. And I like dislikes too. Shall we make this into a neutral response meme?

 But to hell with YouTube!


They straight up announced the concept of removal of dislike button on my 14th birthday.... Wow just wow.


Spam Ratio on every shit video and content creator on the site until we get it back. Ratio mobs GO!


It's also possible to get a major amount of dislikes when going against a medium with a manipulated fanbase. It's not always the creators fault.<br>Great video never-the-less!

Yeah, But most of the time. It's there for a good reason


The people that hate dislikes will dislike this video. The irony


welp now I can't see the dislike count on this video


We should just go and dislike bomb all of YouTube's videos now


I swear, EmpLemon is criminally under rated


I never actually thought this would happen<br>Fuck

I never actually thought this would happen
Fuck


rating tier list checks out with this video


Welp, they just announced that they're going to hide dislike counts for all videos later today. Rip


I swear algorithm is actually programmed to show stuff at a specific time because when Prince Philip died 30% of recommended was Prince Philip memes


Realizes you can’t really see the dislikes anymore:


Wow who knew this would be bigger in 2021.


I'm glad I found your channel. I've been binging it the last few days, and from what I've seen you not only can compose a great documentary, but you also seem to be able to form your own rational opinions rather than be strongly influenced by people ("seem", of course, since I don't actually know you personally). I watched Quinton Reviews briefly for awhile there, but after seeing how racist he was I had to unsubscribe and stop watching, and seeing you disappointed in him too in this video brought some solace to my heart. Keep up the good work.


I almost want to dislike your vid for the meme but it won’t do anything. You can’t even see it anymore


of course it comes into my recommend today


Once dislikes go, "use me as a dislike" comments will spread everywhere.

And everyone knows the only way to deal with that is to remove likes. After that, we become 4chan.

Soon... the internet will own YouTube again.

@Zac sesz I'm a degenerate, what do honestly expect?

@Zac sesz I've looked at Pol, b and d. I can see how different they are. I don't use the site much, but I'm more than aware how different they are

@quantum. I've been on the site and honestly it just depends on where you look. Funny enough, there's way more porn and weebs than there are right wingers.

@Sillimant ok, lets just end the argument here.

@quantum. I never said or even mentioned politics. I was only Talkin about the toxicity which both sites are already known for. If YouTube becomes the same format as 4chan, YouTube will become so much worse than 4chan ever could be

@Sillimant but 4chan has a high concentration of right wing users while on youtube it could be argued that this is the most politically diverse social platfrom on the internet due to how vast youtube is.

@quantum. both are toxic, that's more similarity than there should be

@The Spanish Inquisition I know but youtube and 4chan should never be compared

Last thing google wants is their streaming platform becoming a right wing hangout ground.


This got recommended to me for some reason. Its like Youtube itself crying for help from evil overlord susan


According to your Chart, right now your Video is considered as Controversial Tier as I am typing this.

It seems to be in the "Disputed Tier" as of now.

@Z0mbie ah, the Hbox Jigglypuff. Is that from the "Don't taunt Hungrybox" video?

oh, no, I disliked this video because it was great! we all need the dislike button to be able to express ourselves, so lets give it some space here (maybe make it neutral)

I think a lot of people are just disliking it for the meme.

@MrGermandeutsch
Totally agree with you. 100%

@MrGermandeutsch
Totally agree with you. *100%*

@RdTrler <br>There wasn't anything wrong tho.

That's partly because Presidential faces appeared on the video at all, around any context, over any duration.<br>(There was also an ear-rape in there.)

(There was also an ear-rape in there.)

I noticed that as well, though in his defence, it appears a lot of people disliked the video to express that they approve of his message.


I wonder i recommending this now is some sort of sick joke from YouTube…


This isn't a downward spiral its a fucking straight drop


And in the last week, guess what happened...can you see it people? THIS IS YOUTUBE WORLD WAR 1 DAMN IT!!!


I remember when I was living in this house and had my photography all up on the walls. Some guy (roommate's friend I think) was over and walked around and basically tore apart every photo I had up.(I was a pretty new photographer and yes they sucked, no one had the balls to tell me though).

Looking back 10 years later he was absolutely right, and it was the most valuable feedback I've ever received. The truth hurts but EmpLemon is right,  it's honest, unfiltered,  and in the end sets you up to grow as a person/creator.


15:30 I'm super annoyed you can't even fucking tell us who this Brazilian celebrity is.

Disliked.

(Seriously, I'm annoyed as fucking Hell that you flaked out on #1.)

Edit: Daniela Mercury, who spoke out against Brazilian President Bolsonaro, who is in fact a shitty person, is worth mentioning.

The dislikes are such a nice feature, it would be a shame if YouTube removed it


I totally agree. The only time I really understand creators turning off their likes is when they have an unstable mental well-being. I watch mostly art channels, so when they animate a vent and a bunch of people comment that they “need to go die” then I totally understand. For some things, like animation, usually comments are the best place to criticize because it isn’t an opinion, really, it’s how you do a skill.

It’s also annoying how there are dislikes as soon as a video is posted, so it’s hard not to believe people subscribe just to hate, which can be extremely annoying when they couldn’t have even watched the first few seconds, but it’s never over a hundred.

Great vid, it really helped me understand both arguments and your opinion
Thanks dude


Well... shit. These möfös are actually removing dislikes.


for all that are upset about the removal of dislikes, you can get a browser extension that reveals the dislikes.

is there an extension to stop youtube shadowbanning your comments

also, the addon isnt accurate (ie 1k instead of 1006)

Temporarily at least, apparently Google will be updating their API so that browser extensions won't be able to view dislikes shortly after the new year. Shit sucks.


<b>REMINDER:</b> Dan Olson made a CP board on 8chan in order to frame the website and get the FBI to shut it down.

*REMINDER:* Dan Olson made a CP board on 8chan in order to frame the website and get the FBI to shut it down.

@Julie Swevery i'm not going to bother discussing more with you because you are in extreme levels of denial and not even arguing, just doing Eristic

@Julie Swevery the IRC channel was registered on the same IP adress that was registered on laurelai's own personal website and her wikia

@RATO screenshots as in multiple? There's only one with no context, all other sources are total shit lmao.

"Dan Olson wanted to frame and set up 8chan with an article" and the source links to Dan's own article and gives no evidence for his supposedly bad intentions, this is laughable

@Julie Swevery screenshots, IP adresses, etcetera can't be biased, this isn't about opinion

I think it was more along the lines of him taking screen shots of CP from 8chan boards to show as examples of 8chan being a terrible place, not realizing that by doing so he is downloading and distributing CP himself.

Delighted The website has sources<br>Look at those

Delighted The website has sources
Look at those

Too bad CIA distributes CP and government is aware of this where do you think it all comes from?

Probably becuase mass exposure would ruin it

@Gay Champagne Socialist <br>What are your opinions on the KicVic drama?

@Gay Champagne Socialist
What are your opinions on the KicVic drama?

@Julie Swevery look at the sources on the site and where they lead.

@RATO  RATO  citing a website that's heavily biased towards Gamer gate is not the good evidence you think it is.

Anyways, maybe I should have been more specific: how would it have been possible for Dan Olson to set up cp on the site when they allegedly instantly ban and delete everything related to it?

@Julie Swevery i posted a link that had the evidence but i think it got filtered, go on google and search "lolcow wiki dan olson" and you find that excerpt that i copied, you see those numbers? ex: "[3] [4]" you click on them and they redirect to the sources of the evidence proving that he did those things

@RATO then how could Dan Olson have set up a board framing them

@Julie Swevery i don't falsely believe, there is literal physical evidence proving that he set it up, it's not speculation

@Julie Swevery they never tolerated cp, it was always against the rules and deleted, i was there back in 2014 during the third exodus when hotwheels was still the owner, cp means insta perma ban

@RATO "there is no cp on 8chan" this is just wrong. Even if you falsely belief that Dan set this all up, 8chan still allowed it and didn't counteract. Any way you frame it, 8chan tolerated cp so can you please stop defending them?

@Julie Swevery there is no cp on 8chan, it's the rule 1, if cp is posted it's removed
"Are there any global rules regarding content?

Only one:

Do not post, request, or link to any content that is illegal in the United States of America and do not create boards with the sole purpose of posting or spreading such content."

@Julie Swevery there is physical evidence that he did that, go on this link https://lolcow.wiki/wiki/Dan_Olson and look at the sources for the claims

@Gay Champagne Socialist so how does this make the cp on 8chan any better. Yt actually did something against them almost immediately, unlike some other website

@Julie Swevery "the headlining thread on /hebe/ featured a link to an IRC channel hosted on starrevolution.org.[6] A simple IP trace quickly showed that starrevolution.org shared an IP address with multiple other sites - including Laurelai Bailey's personal website[7] and SJWiki, which Laurelai is the proprietress of.[8][9] Finally, it was discovered that Olson had a pre-existing relationship with Laurelai, both contacting her repeatedly via Twitter and being a routine editor of SJWiki. [10][11] Anonymous reports from other SJWiki editors allege that Laurelai was approached by Olson, and leaped at the opportunity to raise her personal profile and Social Justice bonafides. "

@Julie SweveryThere were quite a lot of news stories from a while ago about the issue. The most recent was Youtube, though that targeted 'softcore' CP rings here, but I count those because CP is CP.

@Gay Champagne Socialist citation badly needed my dude

@Void of Space and Time of course you can't do anything if they share it privately, but do you actually want to tell me that all social media sites have approximately the same amount of open cp on them? Bc im pretty sure that 8chan is the only site that's blacklisted by Google for exactly that reason, they don't ban the people and the material unlike all other websites.

@Julie Swevery Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, all the other major social media sites have more CP on them then the supposed wild-west of either 4chan or 8chan. I would be quite confident on betting it's actually worse per capita instead of just pure volume.

+Delighted

"EXPOSING the cp on 8chan"

There's CP on all social media websites. It's just whether the pedos share it privately or share it on anonymous accounts on sites like 8chan. We've got the "nomaps" on twitter, who jumped from tumblr, for example.

He wrote an article exposing the cp on 8chan, and he was completely cleared by the police. But sure tell me again how the people fighting cp are the real pedophiles.

@deathtrooper666 I was referring to the lolcows kiwifarms talks about.

@Gay Champagne Socialist Yeah, they could certainly do a lot worse to the lolcows than they already do, but I suspect they don't because the people they tend to target are already mental wrecks and it's just more entertaining to watch them implode on their own instead of intentionally ruining their lives. Although, I think they could scale back the doxing to just names and faces of the lolcows, but that's just me being optimistic.

I actually found the site through Metokur and the whole IBS drama and it's kind of amazing how addictive it can be to lurk on there.

@Bryan Smith Went to KF for the Warframe BS and the KickVic stuff. There's def a lot of autism, but it's generally vaguely pointed in the right direction, and there's strict site/cultural rules against actually bullying the lolcows, which is weird, but actually quite nice in various meanings of the word.

@H.G. Commons I'm suprised EmpLemon has never talked about kiwifarms, probably because the only people who tend to are the people who have been doxed by them or are salty about their existence (and I suspect emp doesn't want to piss them off either). But I think it would make an interesting video because they are a quite unique entity within internet culture which actually seems to be gaining massive influence as of late.

Well in that case Dan has searched CP sooooo…

Vibri Evidence? Maybe a KiwiFarms or what?

Vibri Evidence? Maybe a KiwiFarms or what?

Dude Dan Olsen is popping off rn holy shit.


Disliked this because it would've been ironically funny


The worst thing about this: there would be no more balance on the neutral response video

Press F to pay respect to neutral response


Zelda into Bloons Tower defense music. Class


Well Well Well EmpLemon See where we are Now


dislikeless youtube<br>welcome to hell :)


Suddenly this video got recommended for me again. Figures.


if they remove dislikes, how will we keep neutral response truly neutral?

@Gamer er well sadly a lot of those likes are from dead people or lost accounts.


I have never pressed the dislike botton…


That thumbnail is so simple yet so cool, reminds me of Ahoy's videos


Hey Emp, what rating tier is this video in?

Based on his own tier list, in the controversial tier.


I've always disliked videos that have the comments off and or ratings off<br>and then leave, 95% of the time it means something is wrong with the video and the creator doesn't want newer viewers to know.

Emp dude, props on this video. Good message, well researched and god damn i love well made charts. Good video, worth my time.


anybody else returning here for obvious reasons


I never thought the day would come, but looks like dislike removal is happening in some form or another.


I hate the new update that got rid of it! I would dislike the video..... LOL just trolling


Literally only EmpLemon can rant about dislikes for 27 minutes.

He edits it so it's visually funny as well. It's layered. Like an ogre.

Timothy Michael Could’ve sworn that that’s what I was already doing but hey thanks for reiterating my actions.

Timothy Michael Naw I think it’s ranting lol


Everyone is just going to compare ratios of views to likes now
