I feel like Youtube should hire Emplemon


One of my videos that I spent a lot of time on talks about a controversial event in history, problem was that it got disliked bombed in the first few days. No comments apart from some of my fans saying whatever, they just disliked it. So I thought it was unjustified because I spend time on videos and people just trash on it because they can do it. I remove ratings for about a week, I take them off and all the dislikes are gone.

I don't even know anymore if I either got a dislike mob that just later removed the dislikes, or somehow I was able to remove the dislikes, I want to hear criticism from people, but the fact of the matter is if nobody gives you any and just dislikes, it can't really be seen as controversial and just trolling and ruining a possible reputation.

@Z01nk nothing you can do now bud 😎😎😎🔥🔥💯💯💯

@Dedu Oh no! My ego has been challenged by someone with an anime pfp. What shall I do to proceed?!


there's always a needle in the haystack, u shouldn't block it.. rather get a magnet and solve the issue professionally


I'M SORRY JIMBO, BUT I MUST DO WHAT I DO BEST!!!


Great video Emp!
Totally agree with your video!
I disliked. 👎 🙃


so now Fox News reports with No comments or likes/dislikes allowed...


Hahahahahaha. Youtube is thinking of removing the dislike button after their rewind turned out to be the most disliked video in YouTube


"Comments are a better means of recieving feedback"... Not for the audience, Comments can be disabled and removed by the creator.

ikr i used to censor the f out of my coomment section back when i had a baddie channel before it was nuked

Or hardly any comments give positive criticism of the video in order to improve the quality of the videos that come after it

Well if they want to go f comments then they should disable that feature. If that is true i may be in favour of the removal of dislikes


This will probably be lost, but I have a Never Ever suggestion:

There will Never Ever be Another Comedian like Chris Farley

Commenting just to get more notoriety to this post.


Well maybe, if they get their shit together<br>This whole dislike contrivercy could have been avoided

Well maybe, if they get their shit together

KEEN ON THE NEXT VIDEO NOT GONNA LIE, idk why my caps was on, meh, love your work emp, loved it in the YTP days and still love what it has evolved into today, keep it up. peace.


They'll remove dislikes the same way FB did, and then at some point no one will care. I think it's bad to not have dislike buttons, but you'll all get over it eventually like FB.

PS : This is disputed video rating at 90% approximately.

@Augustus Bohn This isnt an argument. I'm saying the masses are being lulled. I'm not defending FB. Also nobody uses FB to post on it blog style anymore, it's either commercial entities or Messenger. I've abandonned my feed completely and unfollowed everyone. I dont care what happens in your life unless you're a close relative.

@Ave, True To Caesar! cherrypicking the first result on google says FB has 15 million(!) fewer US users since 2017. I guess even normies who don't know psychological experiments are being carried out on them know when they've had enough.

I don't find that a compelling argument. I could get over the loss of a limb with time but having all of my limbs is still objectively better. <br>Also, I left facebook years ago so I suppose I didn't get over that site becoming more annoying than useful.

I wish more video essayists used youtube poop editing.


Funny how this is relevance to today without public dislikes.


Point the video makes is that removing dislikes doesnt benefit creators, but does benefit corporations. Now guess which one of those Susan doesnt give a shit about?


poeple who hate dislikes pressed dislike on this video


I love dislikes, YouTube’s decision is horrible!!


It's always a downward spiral man, and its gonna get worse before it gets better... (if it ever gets better)


this guy: why we should like dislikes<br>me, disliking the video: i’m helping

this guy: why we should like dislikes
me, disliking the video: i’m helping


Honestly if a video on YouTube with a lot of views doesn't have a reasonable amount of dislikes can we even call it a YouTube video? Lol

It's one of those laws of life or something. I can't imagine YouTube without the "dislike" button!

if it got patched out we'd just patch it back in


That tier list holds up with the Joe Biden videos on CNN these days.


Disliking for the sake of it. Goodbye, dislike button....


i feel inclination to dislike this video now<br>just spite youtube

i feel inclination to dislike this video now
just spite youtube


Yeah, hope they bring OUR dislikes back!


The hard R word doesn't mean black people, its a broad term for being ignorant. Pewdiepie didn't know if that guy was black or not so he was just using it in its proper form. Any word could have been said on that bridge. Educate yourself fools.


i dont get why that “the best men can be” got such a bad ratio, it was a good video with a very positive point. it was just pointing out common issues with men like sexual assault and the stigma that so many have against women that exist in this world


As someone who has been on YouTube for almost a decade (Since 2011, I had a different account than the one I'm using,) I find dislikes completely irrelevant to a video I'm watching unless around 50% or more in comparison to the likes. That usually means the video or creator is getting some serious flak and a red flag. Anything less isn't a hate mob, and couldn't matter less


I feel like most of the dislikes are due to irony. I love the video, but I think disliking the video is pretty funny.


You know a video did something right when the topic is dislikes and yet there’s still a solid like-dislike video


Edit Nov 2021: Who knew I'd also end up predicting the end of dislikes?

You cannot hate this video. You can't. The dislike button has become a good button. You can only enjoy this video (ratings-wise)


I love the way you incorporate YTP into your videos


Okay but I would just love if it prompted you to explain why you disliked it, because when I get a dislike I think "well I fucked up, but where?", I'd just be useful to have something that shows why it was disliked ya'know?


I love how this is probably the most disliked video on his channel


Now, people get ratings locked on their entire channel by youtube


I use Instagram and oh god do I wish they had a dislike/downvote button sometimes. You are absolutely right about people hitting dislike not because of the quality of the video but because they disagree with its message, and I increasingly feel Instagram desperately needs something like this so I can simply hit dislike if I see something cringy and/or offensive, rather than writing a comment and risking starting a war in the comments section. But unfortunately that will probably never happen on Instagram, because most of its users are insecure teenagers who don't wanna have their self esteem ruined if even one person hits dislike on their post.

Maybe they can make it so the dislike button only exists for public accounts. Like you said, when you put yourself out in the open there's always gonna be at least someone who's gonna hate. And this would also probably incentivize IG's younger/more sensitive users to keep their accounts private.


Evidence that at least 1% of viewers are practically guaranteed to dislike a video: Cute puppy videos. How could anyone dislike a cute puppy video? They're so fluffy and adorable. The first five results I found on YT each had at least 1k dislikes. Dislikes are just a part of the game.


The problem with likes and dislikes is that if you're getting dislikes, that still means that you're engaging people albeit in a negative way. If you're getting either, it should be a mark of quality since non-quality content are obscure. Heavily disliked content is just controversial and there's good reason to promote controversial ideas just as well as non-controversial ideas.

A better indication of quality would be the sum of likes and dislikes divided by views. So if you get a lot of views, but few likes or dislikes - then your video is probably pretty low quality.

You mean the dislike percentages he talked about in the video ?


The people who'd support removing dislikes don't know why people find it weird to ever have them disabled on videos in the first place: it's a shine of cowardice. Why should anyone take your content seriously if you remove the ability to even criticize it? This is so dumb, thinking dislikes hurt you is expecting to fail and have backlash so huge that you put Rewind 2018 to shame. If your video isn't horrible, then the dislikes won't be bad: if they are that bad then it's not the viewers: it's you.


people always used the dislike button as an threating weapon and its very relatable joke while they still never noticed the flag button


Disliking this video on the grounds that you disagree is the height of irony.


This video reminded me of YouTube rewind and that’s just the funniest thing to me


Another great vid. Thank you. Hopefully the dislike button stays alive.


I noticed your video falls into "controversial" tier. Given the topic, I just cannot image why! P.S. I admire your ability to admit that your were internally writing off some of your criticism as fanboyism. We all need to be willing and able to simply own up to ourselves and our sins.

@EonTheAlien Yeah, makes sense. When you're giving your audience the finger, it kinda puts people on edge.

I think people are disliking cuz the title seems like it asks for it


Just realized this video can be taken down for impersonating someone at your intro. YouTube dont take lightly to that


Interestingly, the YouTube comment dislikes actually work... kinda. If you've gone to videos from small-medium channels with less than 1000 comments, you can scroll down and eventually the comment will go from positive/funny to controversial or trolling. It seems disliking comments work, you just can't see how much dislikes a comment has.


Whenever i see someone with comments disabled i immediately assume that they are hiding a terrible like ratio. Why else would you do it?


9:05 "I never seen a succefull and respected youtuber who frequently disabled his rating"

hey remember in 2014 when pewdiepie decided to disabled comment to even his old videos does no one remembered that?


I agree with you, but 'dislike mobs' are a thing though


March 2020:<br>This video has 68,829 Likes, and 9,400 Dislikes for a total of 78,229 Votes. Dividing the Likes by the Total gives us about an 88% Approval Rating, which lands this video right into the "Controversial Tier". Considering that this video is about a topic that's apparently divisive (according to the video itself), that makes a lot of sense.

funny how months later YouTube went popping off making another fantastic rewind video


So the people who want dislikes to be gone are the same people who disliked the video and the same people who want dislikes to stay are liking the video<br>edit: well shit

You know the crazy part about it, is that I can’t remember the last time I have EVER DISLIKED. A video. I think the last time I did was in middle school. Ok correction I think I did early last year but the point is it’s extremely rare Because if I usually don’t find something interesting or I don’t like it I just leave which I’m sure most of you do. Unless it’s music which I can I understand dislikes on those vids or movies. But The only time I dislike something is if it’s offending as hell disrespectful or just plane wrong. But usually don’t come across that stuff. Because that stuff would probably be flagged and token down by YouTube anyways. So I never understood why the dislikes so many in fact on pretty much almost EVERY VIDEO I ever see. Even on seemingly harmless vids of cute babies or cute cats or good acts of people or whatever wholesome, just anything sweet of that nature. I just always felt it was some sort of mob just going around disliking shit for no reason. I always find my self saying WHO COULD DISLIKE THIS!???


I never dislike and rarely like videos, I mostly like videos just to simply save it because its faster then adding to a playlist. I don't expect anyone over 16 to like videos frequently or even pay attention to the links or dislike ratio. What is the point of the viewer looking at it?


Removing the dislikes will SIGNIFIGANTLY shrink the quality of all of  youtube.


I can't tell if the amount of dislikes you have is people joking around or people genuinely disagreeing with your opinion


The whole removing dislikes thing is based on the idea that any negativity is bad and the idea that corporations being put down is bad. Which is a horrible, horrible fallacy.


Duuuuuude the star system has been gone for ten years now? Wow.


I miss when comments could be disliked. People getting bodied left right and center lmfao


EmpLemon: "You should like dislikes"

I think the features, YouTube should remove is disable comments and turn off ratings system.


Am I the only one that thinks disliking this video because u dislike it is super hypocritical?


I did my civic duty and disliked the video in-order to show my appreciation of the dislike feature


the premier feature has proved that people dislike videos before being able to see what’s happening in it. this is my only discrepancy, good video.


0:33
I love how the video has so many dislikes


I dunno man Dan Olsen seems to be doing pretty OK right now and put out some fire videos recently.

Why are you supporting and advocate of censorship


I've seen that video a few times but I've never really looked at it to see what was wrong, is there a good TLDR version?


And then there's IGN's review of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers which is at like 90% dislikes. It's important to leave these dislikes up or else people might think it's actually a decent review.


This was basically 27 minutes of you roasting Dan Olson.


By disliking this video you are affectively liking it


Great video. Great points! (No sarcasm. No shade.)

But, I don't think you should hold people back because they want to disable things in their channels or videos. Or, hide their sub count from the public. They have their reasons and that pertains to their choices. Not yours. Respect. And, if they want the dislike button removed, that's ok too. That's their prerogative.

Even if I got a billion dislikes and lost trillions of subs I refuse to change myself to please strangers that I don't know, nor care about me personally. Or, because they don't agree with what I post. I'm going to do what I think is right and stay true to my beliefs and actions.

I don't care if the dislike button is removed or not. I believe in freedom of speech and choice. But, it's sad how social media controls how we think, feel, decide, and choose. It's a flock of sheep. I'm not going to rule out there are people disliking videos without actually watching the video or because they're influenced to do so by looking at the rating meter. Yes. Dislikes can be hurtful or helpful. But. This is kind of bias and makes the channel owner feel horrible about themselves.

Youtube wants to remove the dislike button? Cool. It's their website, their business. You don't like a video then just ghost it and move on.


Over 9000 people who dislike your take on keeping dislikes disliked the video


I thought it was "Why You Should Dislike", I love you Emp


I revisited the video, like I do with all Emp videos just to enjoy it again. I went to click the like button, but to my surprise I hit the dislike button at the time the video came out. I laughed to myself, knowing that I did so as an act of support for the dislike button


I especially like the BTD5 music. gave me some nostalgia


There is no better demonstration of how fundamentally dishonest Google is as a company than the claim about people being able to show their dissatisfaction through comments. Any person or company that has ever handled a fraction of the data Google processes every minute knows that surveys are far more efficient when they only use multiple choice options, because that data can be processed quickly and automatically to give results.


Lmao I use the like system as a bookmark tool. sometimes bad video gets likes if I want to show it to someone later


This is just me but I don’t like videos if I think they are average I just watch them and leave. I like videos that are good, ignore videos that are meh, and dislike videos that are bad.


The problem is it's not a good or bad thing. I often dislike videos for small little things because the creator needs some kind of indication that isn't hate comments that something is wrong.

Stop telling people to like your videos, let them hit that button if they feel like it. It's the same shit with tips, I'm not your boss I'm not responsible for you to get paid. Don't like it? Talk to your boss not me. I barely can afford to go to your restaurant yet you still want me to pay your employees for doing their fucking job? Because they didn't fuck up? Oh boo hoo you can't talk to your boss that way.


i dislike videos that have the like to dislike ratio hidden whether i like the person/agree with them or not. lame move


I have 100% likes on my channel. Granted, I have fewer than 10 vids with fewer than 200 views between them. But 100% though.... yayyyyy

As a user, I don't tend to use dislikes, I just click away. I do tend to leave a comment if I think the video just needs work or to do something different.

As a creator, I'd value comments to improve my content. I was always under the impression that likes/dislikes are just counted equally as 'engagement'. Nothing but a tool for the user to feel like they're making a point.

I'm not a very savvy person with this stuff, though.


YouTube doing something to protect small creators man thats funny


15:27
I am brazilian and I don't have any idea who this woman is.
But yeah probably Bolsnaro fans (I forgot the term for this) mass disliked.


They have basically already removed the dislike button on comments.


I disliked this video... To agree.

But seriously. YouTube shouldn't remove dislike function. It's already nonfunctional in the comments section.


lmao edit at 12:00 is great you are a meme and editing master


Petition to bring back dislikes for comments.


To all of the people who disliked this video for the memes, <b>Noice one</b>

To all of the people who disliked this video for the memes, *Noice one*

They shouldn't remove dislikes, they should make it so you can see the amount of dislikes on comments LMAO


Wow, I can’t believe a dislike mob bombed this video.


i studdy consperasies and sutch as a hobby, and when it comes to consperacy theories in real life, like the rusia colusion or stolen ellection over in america, it anoyed me when evryone is acusing someone of a colusion and consperacy when what most likely happend was a case of Emergent behavior.
Aka, instead of someone hiding in the shadows forcefully manipulated the masses to do something, the outcome was the resoult of the masses doing what was in their favor. sorry the clunky explonation, but lets say there is a gathering of fish, instead of thinking all the fish have come to that place in the pond because of a shadow organisaation of fish has all ordered them there, prehaps there is a piece of bread floating in the water, and all the fish want that water.

Its the same with mass disslikes and collusions.


I mean a "Dislike mob" could send negative signals not through the ratings, but the average watch time. But still not a valid reason to remove a means of communication your satisfaction or lack thereof.


Just make it so that you can't like or dislike at all unless you've watched the ENTIRE video.


I disliked your video and watched the entire thing,  no offense just living up the nostolgia before it goes away. :) <br>HOPE IT DOESN'T, that's ridiculous.

Ima dislike this video since I liked it :)


*_hmm yes 9.4k dislikes from either bots who are programmed to dislike everything in the matter of minutes or people who bothered to dislike_*


And then Xisumavoid came along and used dislikes for a poll


That mini youtube poop in the middle of the video was ana awesome surprise


i automatically dislike a video with ratings disabled


77% lemon, looking controversial are we :(


This reminded me of how much I hate quinton reviews


Actually the Star rating systeme was better dislike and like is too binary there are plenty of video that i neither like or dislike sometime i agree with the message but not its delivery a 3.5....


i disliked the video to show that i think dislikes should stay


morgzs vids are always between teh 94 and 70% likes area lol


The people who disliked want to remove the dislike.

You became the very thing you swore to destroy


I was playing balloons tower 5 and I was like wtf I know I muted the music then I realized it was your video


Dislike it for the memes boys, dislike it for the memes >:)


One last bit. I wouldn't know anything a about being an "uninformed knuckle head spewing opinions". It's not like I just I just say things in the heat of the moment, like here, or towards Nico Evaulates. I don't just accuse people of things without gathering information, or leave comments everywhere. I just not that kind of person.


Dislikes are not counted accurately. Once I was in a heated comment argument and the other guy had 10 accounts all watch 10 seconds of my low view videos then hit dislike. After several hours all the dislikes were automatically removed.


Bruh, I just dislike videos when I don't like it. Like if the format is not one I enjoy, or if it's a topic I don't care about. I use it to tell youtube what to recommend and it works better than the "not interested".

Did he just predict youtube rewind 2020 13:32 (i mean 2019)


look at the like/dislike ratio... pretty sure thats a paradox


11:16 esse é o comentário brasileiro que você estava procurando


I just realized I can like and dislike at the same time?


Bring back stars system, how about that YouTube


The dislike button is the great equalizer.


I don't remember watching this video but I clicked on it and saw that I disliked it


Ik this has nothing to do with the video but how is adblock not bankrupting youtube?


I wish they still had dislikes for comments or at least downvotes


now tell us how useless disliking a comment is


Pretty sure whoever came up with this idea was a manchild who can't handle criticism. Far too many people like this these days


Looks like your video is in the controversial tier


And the worst scum of all are the people who disable comments.


Ironically disliked (Count 1 dislike as a like)


When someone disables ratings and sometimes comments, it either means that the person can't take any critique at all or you're watching a 3D rendered demonstraion of how a mechanical gear system works.

Seriously, when somenone disables the ratings, it means that they don't want a reaction on what they just uploaded. This is a serious red flag. It's worse than starting a discussion and completely ignoring whatever the other side says. It's more like starting a discussion and taping everyones mouth shut exept for your own so the viewers can neither agree nor disagree.

I bet if the gear videos did get comments it would all be
"Why did i even click on this, but im not complaining"
"Wow this is so satisfying"


If dislikes didn't exist then everyone would've liked the Cuties trailer.


I disliked this video because you should like them


you should have like 1% likes, 99% dislikes, because you should only appeal to highest iq

John Jon Jhon Johnathan Johnston Johnstar IV


I’m disliking to show my support for dislikes.


9.4k people are appreciating the dislike button on this video


The downwards spiral is speaking during the video


They make thi whole dislike mob idea out to be this horrible thing, but mate has you ever heard of a like mob. And even if there was a dislike mob it would not even matter because youtube has essentially made the rating system obsolete and these mobs are using it for the very thing it was made for, without a dislike we left with just a number to go up, there need to be a balance.


My channel is a Dislike Heaven lol.  I expose Tyrants so you can see how that will reflect my channel.  I see what you mean about the dislike, but it is used to just go after a person.  My videos will get a bunch of dislikes with a 2 second watch time.  They just come on, dislike and leave.  Is that fair?  I think a dislike should be recorded after the video  is watched over 50 percent of the video. That helps both parties and you get a better opinion on the content quality.


14:33 someone really needs to crsuh Wesley


No one: <br>Pewdiepie: can this video game the same likes as dislikes

No one:

imagine the lolzor epic no scopers who disliked this video to be haha lol funny lol lol epic gaming gaming gaming lol lol epic lol !! a  !!   !


How mant people just disliked this for fun


The dislike button on comments is useless.


can we PLEASE give the comments dislike button a counter... PLEASE


Then their is me and at least one other person who only uses youtube to dislike every video recommended to them for no reason


3:48 until they deem comments section as "inadequate for criticism" but think that shadow banning isn't good enough

Then they'll demand you make your own video responses... until they deem videos as "inadequate for criticism" and keep Youtube as a gated community to corporations and celebrities

@Zero Black wtf are u talking about dude?

Blacks Taking a Dump? I think is not allowed in YouTube


**dislikes the video because they don’t like dislikes


Bet the people who hate dislikes probably used the dislike button for this video


YouTube:  dislike mobs shouldn't be able to hurt a video in the algorithm, that's my job


Here's a better feature:<br>Remove the option to remove ratings of the video, that'll teach them.

I think they are removing dislikes Because they want to forget about YouTube rewind 2018

Your Cordial Vermillion Chap With A Squeaky Mallet


I think that you should write a description when you like or dislike.

@vlassis politis that's what comments are for.

@Sisyphean Taskmaster Maybe it could be optional.

Terrible idea. What if I just want to save the video to my liked playlist. What if the video is just funny or very interesting and there isn't much to say about it. What's to stop me from just typing "PENIS" or some other nonsense and leaving. What if the video is a scam and leaving a dislike explanation is literally a waste of time. Why would I take time out of my day to explain why you suck when there's probably already someone in the comments telling you exactly why. It's your job to engage with your audience and find out how to improve, not your audience. You get paid and we don't, so don't expect us to wipe your ass for you and don't expect us to do redundant labor with no pay.


Dislike ratio is BELOW the disputed section of this video, big oof.


> plays the Simpsons Mysteries music over a Simpsons clip

Coincidence? I think NOT!


Ahh yes. Build an empire of Yes-Men and stuff 'em all in your Echo Chamber. The Youtube Utopia~


If the dislike button ever gets removed use this comment at a dislike button


i'm really unsure if i should give you a like, to simply praise you or to give you a dislike to confirm your point...

PS: your talking about ratings seems to solely cover videos which talk about topics and not videos like short fictional stories. like more meta-content than fictional just-content. and i think that's a bit too generalizing.

Love how Quinton Reviews used the "dark place" excuse for blocking people


Check the description and click on the paste bin


Idea

Don’t remove the dislike button

Lock it till 10% of the video has been watched

IF they “have to”

Then I’m giving creators watch time for a bad video. How is that any better?

It might be easier to give dislikes a weight depending on how much the user has watched.<br>Someone watches only 3 seconds before disliking? they only left 0.01 dislike as a result.

It might be easier to give dislikes a weight depending on how much the user has watched.
Someone watches only 3 seconds before disliking? they only left 0.01 dislike as a result.

@Theroux The longest legitimate video i've ever watched was a 7 hour review of pokemon omega ruby

And "legitimate" means not "Patrick riding a seahorse for 10 hours"

@Theroux don't know the number, but they are rising quickly as editing software becomes more user friendly and cheap.

@Operation Blastflight How many legitimate 10 hour videos are there again?

Or 10% up to 5 minutes, so on a 15 minute video, you would have to watch 90 seconds, but on a 2 hour video you would only have to watch 5 minutes because the max is 5 minutes.

@Operation Blastflight maybe in that case, it would be watch 5 minutes or so of it.

That wouldn't turn out well for videos over 10 hours long


If dislikes do get removed I’m gonna post a comment that says “like this if you dislike the video”


I here the music and all I can think is btd


Because YouTube is, where the poop is. Remember that? Wouldn't it kill to go back to those simpler times? Where squidward got possessed by a lemon?


Dislike button exists, the bar showing the ratio is gone


This will only get noticed by the algorithm now that its to late


This is like when Netflix removed the dislike button because all the gay shows, political comedians, and feminists kept getting one star.  It's just a way to make people feel isolated in their view point.  So, for example, you instead believe a gay show is made because everyone is on board with it rather than some media mogul deciding you should be on board with it.


I regularly dislike videos from creators I enjoy, and I've done it to you. Mostly because FunHaus said dislikes ironically up their engagement; but also one dislike in my mind hopefully means a minor spike from like-minded individuals that a creator notices and realizes something was disliked but not controversial. On the other hand, Game Grumps said they weren't looking at comments/likes anymore around the time they kept reusing some irritating jokes and when I found myself disliking nearly every video without a change I just unsubscribed. Considering how easy it is to get 90%+ likes, you don't even need a thick skin like you do for comments, and legitimate criticism gets buried quickly. I "like" that you noticed a 90% like ratio is fine but means something was off within the video, meaning only people who actually watched are enough to dislike beyond the usual instant dislikes of 2-3%. It means reflect on the video or scroll through the comments, ignoring and finding it persists is going to lead to some lost subscribers eventually, like every vinetuber that's suddenly losing subs after multiples videos about how they don't listen to criticism.


without a ranking system, everyone would just go fucking bonkers. Both the like and dislike feature, help people vocalize their thoughts in a simple compact way, instead of going bananas on a post.


I usually figure the lowest common denominator for likes/dislikes
Like this video (currently) has 8/1 like/dislike ratio, which is kinda bad. Most music videos with 1+ Mil views average a 25/1, and very well received videos have 100/1.
At least to my brain this is an easier way to look at it


This video is very entertaining. Thank you Emperor


Disliking comments seems to do completely nothing.
I think it's reasonable to at least remove the dislike option for the comments since YouTube defenetly won't make those dislikes visible.
On the other hand, removing dislikes from one part of the platform can lead to removal of all dislikes, which will make it harder to judge the legitimacy of a video's popularity.


There's also the Kudo's system on the website Dumpert. It functions similarly to Reddit's upvote system, but it doesn't negatively effect it's presence in the algorithm, because there is none


By his own metric, this video is controversial.

Controversial opinion after watching this video:

I think we should go back to the star scale. There’s a number of videos where I have had a mixed opinion on them, and a like or dislike didn’t really allow me to properly express that.


So I have been having this ongoing discussion about freedom of speech with a very politically ambitious friend of mine who remains convinced that it should be restricted to essentially exclude what we might refer to as "ideas that are virtually universally understood as bad" simply because the expression of these views by a tiny minority is still, somehow, incentivizing people to carry out the tenets of said ideas. He has yet to give me a satisfying answer as to where he thinks that tiny of fraction of unhinged individuals will go, and how they will be rendered harmless, by simply outlawing their wrong thoughts.

Shutting up a critic doesn't cancel out their criticism. Whatever is wrong with what you did will remain wrong. Voting Trump out of office isn't going to make 45% of Americans that support him go away. A lie will remain a lie.

i get his point but nobothy knows if they are right even after being proved wrong


The minute you ban the ability to voice displeasure about your work is the minute you stop improving.


I feel like you kept taking about Dan Olson a little much but I really liked you bringing up the other social media platforms to explain that people still want to express dislikes. Really proves that at least Youtube needs dislikes and probably any other social media platform.


“They’re intentionally leaving bad reviews”

Huh, I wonder why they would do that?


I wholeheartedly agree, dislikes are a way for people to tell the content creator to what works and what doesn't. Removing them just makes them hate you more, and would likely make you lose subs, rather than just getting an unpopular video


I remember one up and coming youtuber that made videos about movies and tv shows. One day they posted a video begging to not vote for Trump. A nearly 30 minute rant where the comment section and the likes/dislikes were disabled. If you are that scared  why even make the video?<br>They stopped making videos like a month later.

Thanks for the awesome video. I watched a Mr.Beast video where he shows disliking can actually increase visibility of your video. It was a small experiment but it was interesting.


The irony is that clicking like or dislike is still engagement to the algorithm and is treated the same way regardless of what you pick.
Videos with higher engagement will get pushed over things that don't have engagement.
Also this comment will get buried because I don't have any subs and if someone you are subbed to comments on this video it will rate higher then my comment and get shown first. Everything gets filtered by engagement.
Well weighed and filtered.
Watching hole ad, watching hole video, liking near the end of the video over liking at the start, commenting at the end of the video. Some things weigh higher like watching hole ad vs hole video but they all add up to give a score that is balanced between other content you have watched. the more content you engage in the more of the same content with the same score will be recommended to you. It wayy more complicated then that but you get the point. this is a dead comment.


I feel like since YouTube Rewind 2018, YouTube has just been racing to see how many stupid features they could add as fast as possible


This video had a lot of points that were just salt, if it wasn't by that it would be a 10/10 video


Am i the only person who watches a video before checking the ratings so i can make my own decision on wether or not i think it's good or bad?


Man I can barely remember when the dislike number for comments was actually visible as opposed to the near completely useless feature it is now


Who doesn’t want dislike mobs?<br>I enjoy looking at the dislikes on YouTube rewind 2018.

Who doesn’t want dislike mobs?
I enjoy looking at the dislikes on YouTube rewind 2018.


the thing is that in a perfect world the star system would still be there but sadly trolls and haters are still a thing.


As someone unfamiliar with your channel, I am having trouble telling if you are supporting a political party, or using that ironically for comedic purpose

watch his trump meme video lol. But yeah he's pretty much just being sarcastic most of the time.


I like the overall message of this video.
But as my sincere and unfiltered criticism, I want to say that I didn't appreciate this part of the video which was obnoxiously loud at 22:15, hence I shall dispense a dislike.

Not exactly a defense, but the guy is a former YTP. So expect some earrapes on his videos (the exceptions of course are his more documentary videos, i.e never ever or YouTube geography)


I love Folding Ideas but you're really calling him out and you're not wrong.


I find it funny how this video is actually in 89-80% tier with 11.5% dislikes


I like how the dan olson example video is a movie review. A critic of a piece of entertainment. Wouldn't it be crazy if you weren't able to critic something?


feel like i should dislike this video just to spite youtube


And there's me, who still misses the old 0-5 star ratings.


I feel like a lot of the dislikes here are ironic


according to the tier list this video falls in the controversial tier


You should be able to chose between of some words for some videos like a Gaming video gets good and bad while the politics get agree and disagree


Why not just, have people watch the videos for X amount of minutes and THEN they can dislike or like, This setting can be used by youtubers and change the amount of time in Youtube Studio, atleast then they can set it for the entire length of a video or 10 minutes (for that sweet ad rev) this is just one idea that might work if implemented work


Some video that I watched had ratings off, and when people brought it up in the comments, the person was like "hurr durr you have to why you dislike it instead of just disliking it." Which I thought was confusing. Aren't dislikes made in tandem with talking about what was wrong?

Nope, some people just dislike and that's all.


7:09 this dude actually but a bloons td track as back ground music. Nice!


If you are so afraid of dislike mobs, you shouldn't publish your work. Also if the algorithm don't suggests your video if it is disliked, there is a simple solution: change the algorithm to suggest the video to people with opposite tastes from the people who disliked


i don't dislike a lot of videos, - um, sorry, sometimes i forget to like 'em too- but when someone shuts down their comment section it's my policy to dislike them. i don't know why anyone care about these so-called dislike mobs. you have to click something before you can dislike it. they still get the clicks. those probably matter more


I love it when Emp doesn't say anything about Despacito....haha


The more fame and larger their tower of money is...the more desperate they'll become to keep it up, even harming people in the process.


I assume YouTube is still recovering from the Rewind incident.


Am I like only person who doesn’t look at the like to dislike Ratio when I click on a video I mean I believe it’s very important to have the dislike button but I never really use either of them


oh god I forgot about Gamers Rise Up I miss when that sub was a massive joke filled with with "satire" but now.... its gone


I just realised that the 7k people who disliked this video are people that say dislikes should be removed.

Hmm...


YouTube: We might remove dislikes.
Me: Is it because of that 2018 rewind..?
YouTube: No..


no way you started the youtube rewind dislike mob what a legend


That’s wierd, SilokHawk is in the second bottom tier of like-dislike ratio but his videos are great


Didn't even have to check the paste bin to recognize that sweet sweet Balloon tower defense sound track, great choice of music


The Gran Turismo 4 music gives the video such an amazing atmosphere


Another way they've already implemented this is in the comments. You can't tell how much people hate a comment, only the people who do.

although, if the replies have more likes than the original comment, that's a pretty good way of determining how much people hate it. although i would prefer a way to dislike comments without having to reply.


I love the uses of the simpsons hit and run song at 10:25


why did i dislike this i completely agree lol


So basically all the "perfectly balanced as all things should be" videos have fucked up big time

7:08 oh god that background music brings me back to when I was in 5th grade placing monkey towers on my tablet.


Hm,  if only there was a system where you could rate things on a scale?


They just want to remove the dislike button because they saw the dislikes on youtube rewind 2018 as well as 2019


6:32 and the lowest rating is YouTube rewind


Ironic enough this vid had 8.1k dislikes


Well on mobile likes and dislikes are now both white and less noticeable, we get closer and closer to the YouTube apocalypse


Which Emp am I supposed to be looking at on that news screen? I see a few sitting behind the desk, one of them holding "teh news". But the Emp mic on the desk is pointed at the Emp in the middle behind the desk. Help.


I like that he put balloon tower defense music in the video


BTD music in the background makes me go yes


For the people who didn't like it they could not say so unless the had a dislike button


I turned my phone around and accidentally disliked the video. That might say something about analytics.


You sound like a reactionary. Disliked : ) although I don't care if we have dislikes or not I think dan olsen is right that there is a lot of cyber bullying that happens due to dislikes. But tbh that's not really limited to the like/dislike system


I remember when ifunny got rid on dislikes lol.


this video is apparently pretty controversial


Fun fact: the candidate that brazilian girl told women to vote against, won, and its been the best president we had in like ever.


Come on we all know why they want to remove it rewind


Have you noticed how almost every video has a similar like/dislike ratio?


On Facebook, there is no dislike button, but you can use the laugh or angry reacc instead. You're not only telling OP that the post sucks, you're telling OP WHY it sucks, in a button press - not a bad system

I disagree, it's more more prone to misinterpretation. Say I react with a laughing emoji to a serious post. Does that mean I find it funny that someone is that dumb? Does it mean that I find the serious topic comical? Does that mean that I think it's funny coming from them?
Now let's say someone made a different, equally as serious post and I reacted with an angry emoji. Does that mean I'm angry that this happened, that I'm angry at misinformation in the post, that I'm angry at the person who posted it for one reason or another?
It's trying to be a mix of a comment system and a like system and fails miserably at both, because it fails to say anything actually meaningful or significant about the post. This could be fixed by, say, adding in a dislike emoji as well and letting people react with multiple emojis, as to better clarify what the general reaction is.


Bruh wish we could make a real Soviet Union not another dictatorship


I still have a dislike on this video because of the original title lol


I’m gonna dislike this video cuz I like it


Like the video? Hell yeah. Say hello, dislike button!


Dan Olson enabled ratings on his videos again...


so far this video is in the controversial tier


havent watched the vid just saw the title and thought it would be funny to dislike it


Lets go! 100% rating for most of my videos


i came back and only have one problem with the video now, why did he not take out dan olsen's name and @? cause it might get people to get onto his twitter account and harass him, and people probably did


Anyone that disliked this caused a paradox


The middle of your video gave me a fever dream while I was awake.


What about obliging those who dislike to write a comment as well? Put a 5-10 word minimum so that it's not just "Stupid." and let the creator know what kind of people are disliking their video and for what reason. Is it just a bad recommendation or an actual critique, something worth thinking over or not. Seems like a better solution to "unreasonable dislikes" than removing them entirely. Maybe do the same for likes to kinda make it fair (tho I don't see a problem with likes currently).

Mmmmm no?<br>Most people don't have the will and the time to express their opinions and that's why likes and dislikes exist, it takes a second to like a video but it takes a couple of minutes to express your opinion through words on a comment, if you force people to do something most people won't even bother to think in doing it, this video has +630k and +5.9k comments, if something like that is mandatory this video would have probably just one thousand comments and likes/dislikes or even less, that's less people that will share their opinions = less people that watch the video because they can't express their opinions instantly = less people viewing videos on YouTube and less money for Google

Mmmmm no?

Come back a year later and sure enough, the like bar no longer even blue and gray, they've made another bs change to black and white :/


I’m not hating but can you use different backgrounds? They are really full of neon colors and watching it hurts my eyes
I don’t want to watch it because it’s to blaring and takes away the attention from the text to the background.
I had to close my eyes threw out the video
Edit: it got so mad it’s making me laugh by the abnormal colors and the huge usage of it


I disliked this video cause the title told me to.


remove liking completely and let some algorithm do the job.

The algorithm does it's job independently of likes and dislikes. Did you even watch the video?


I wish you could see the dislikes on comments


As a small content creator that doesn’t get a lot of likes or dislikes, does the tier list have the same value or should it be rebalanced for a smaller audience? (Sorry if this is confusing)


i feel like ur videos could be so much shorter


I disliked the video to prove I like dislikes


I don’t see why catering to your niche is a bad thing. If you’re not trying to do YouTube as a career, what’s the harm in sticking to content you like making? Sure, you won’t get as many viewers/subscribers, but choosing to cater to an ever-changing, ever-expanding audience is much more difficult than creating content you enjoy and attracting the viewers that enjoy watching such content.


dislike mobs should be allowed because everbody dislikes the vid


I disliked this video because I agree with the <b>core message.</b> Like veganism (hint hint)

I disliked this video because I agree with the *core message.* Like veganism (hint hint)


Yo E,<br>I subscribed but I also hit the dislike. Why? Because of that 4chan example. Such atrocities man was not meant to whitness.

Yo E,
I subscribed but I also hit the dislike. Why? Because of that 4chan example. Such atrocities man was not meant to whitness.


Their saying that comments are comparable to like/dislike? I mean I guess you could stretch it that way but at the end of the day looking at two numbers vs reading 100 comments it’s a big time difference


It’s from
6 second unskippable or 12 second skip after 6
Then
12 second skip or skip after 12
To
TWO UNSKIPPABLE 15 SECOND ADS


lol... people who dislike this video<br>wants to remove dislike

lol... people who dislike this video
wants to remove dislike


Atleast Facebook has a Angry Button above the like button. Than TWITTER.


And now comment and posts have dislikes that literally don't matter. You can't even see how many there are!


I like the dislike button I've used it on my own videos


pfff, dislike button shouldnt stay. disliked


This is a cesspool down here? Explains the smell.


Must.... Go.... Find videos... To dislike now....


New tier. Jake Paul tier. 0 likes . Oh! Bonus points for the btd songs.


People who dislike dislikes will dislike the video


It's funny because i pissed off the sonic community and so they dislike bomb my videos thinking that will do anyrhing


All the dislikes on this vidio are YouTube and its bots


Ive been noticing that you play bloons music in your vids do you play the games?


i mean heck the dislikes for comments are already useless. the just do nothing.<br>and it's not like on reddit where one downvote decreases the number of upvotes by one either, dislikes for comments just do nothing.

i mean heck the dislikes for comments are already useless. the just do nothing.
and it's not like on reddit where one downvote decreases the number of upvotes by one either, dislikes for comments just do nothing.


me looks at the comments section, hmmmmmm no dislikes


i unironically prefer 4chan to reddit. is that a problem?

@Pigrulerperson kind of, but just for the lolz. i mainly lurk, so i can't say i am actively part of their community.


What's the song that's playing around 24:44? The pastebin the music list is dead.


right now, dislikes on comments already do nothing, they dont count it as a number and it doesn't do a upvote downvote esc thing by counting as -1 either. Why is it even there?

To give the illusion of choice and agency. It's like the door closing button in an elevator.


Every time it seems your video is over it’s not, it’s like feminist, or racism


7.9+ people agree why we should keep the dislike button


Oh the "dislike" irony. ha ha ha - people are funny.


if you disliked this video, you are unknowingly agreeing, since you just did what all points of his video said


Literally why is the dislike button even in the comments if u can’t even see them


Damn that BTD music you snuck in there was a good dose of nostalgia


On my phone YouTube is up to date but the dislike is still red


4:04 they can avoid all these arguments by making the like to dislike ratio invisible until you actually press one of them. I mean I wouldn't mind that. it'd be interesting if everyone watched youtube videos in an unbiased approach.

Bit late, but what if you're looking up a bunch of tutorials and sifting through what's worth your time, you'd like to know what videos are worth watching and whether you should look at the comments to see why the video is disliked. Maybe it's a lack of knowledge or bad audio, maybe even a non-sequitor of a video. Who knows if the comments become disabled on a bad video? The ratings would be the only thing you'd have as reference at that point.


You should’ve disabled rating in this video for the meme

@The Spanish Inquisition but do you really think it was just. I mean everyone complains about how much she wanted to "censor" everything yet the same people who said that went out of their way to censor her and any platform/public speaking she had. I don't think its right for someone to say something on the internet only to be met with such harashment. No harashment is ever justified.

Usually most ratings disablers do so because they've been attacked and harrashed by a large mob and don't want any more damage. Its rather easy for emp lemon to stand from his place and say how mass hate and dislike is just normal, what he hasn't seen is the harashment upfront. One example is what 4-chan/right wing gamers did to Anita Sarkeesian, and its more that just people spamming "kys", there were several people who made bombing and shooting threats at venues she was planning to talk at and etc, one person threatened to start a shooting at their school if Anita Sarkeesian were to talk somewhere. All I want to say is that its not really nice of sympthatic to mock comments or ratings disablers as they may just be wanting to stop themselves from complete stress. Afterall you don't know what its like to have the whole internet after you.

Nah how else will he get a <%50 ratio on this video?


Dislike mobs are not rlly a good argument because I always judge a video by the comments and amount of likes. Also, I always consider the YouTubers with more than 1k dislikes a more popular one


Dislike should return to the comments section


why you should dislike disliking dislikes


Hoo you should see the marvel comics videos


the true useless thing is the dislike comments button


I don't dislike dislikes, I personally just find it sad to see dislikes on videos that really shouldn't be that controversial, or videos which are silly to complain about.
Be honest, you only think the Gillette ad is bad because someone told you that it was gonna destroy masculinity and bring in an age of far left totalitarian SJW rule or something like that.

It also sucks when you see loads of dislikes on flat earth debunk videos, though I do get a chuckle when sequels (if it's a video series) have way less dislikes because the mob got tired.

there should be a 50/50 option, where you dont rlly like the vid, but dont hate it either


“We shouldn’t silence our enemies” tell that to alex jones YouTube..


should just delete the disliking of comments


00:39 how dare u disrespect my ideology like that


I agree with this video but still disliking for the meme


"Controversial Tier"<br>damn, actually nice tiers.

"Controversial Tier"
damn, actually nice tiers.


YouTube: Creates most disliked video ever

Also YouTube: Removes dislike button


If dislikes were gone Logan would have gotten away with his unspeakable act


If all goes wrong someone else will make a video platform to actually compete with YouTube


I disliked this video to show I agree with you.


Even the YouTube insider guy didn’t like the idea😂


17:27 WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT… This guy is saying it’s only bad in concept, and not the execution? Yknow, the part that actually matters?!?! He is ADMITTING HIMSELF that it’s not a bad thing in practice but he still doesn’t want it because he doesn’t like the way it sounds. Then he proceeds to describe a circlejerk and says that should be the alternative. My God… I can’t even describe how mind numbingly stupid this is.
