You can use the dislike button as a "I've seen it" button to avoid getting constant reposts in your recommendations because videos you've already disliked will never pop up in your recommendations unless Youtube deliberately promotes a video

@Selicre Yeah personal experiences aren't creditable here, but just saying you're not interested does not block those videos from popping up in your recommendations again, it only induces the system not to show it to you to some degree which is why it's inferior to disliking that just prevents it with promotional exclusions that will always be recommended to you

Also good for you. The decency of my recommendations is completely up to youtube. Usually I discover good videos like I did with  emplemon one day, but sometimes it's just utter garbage especially if youtube themselves promotes certain channels/videos since they're usually not what I want to see

@Selicre does not stop matpat coming back in my feed every time.

@Jonseredi I've never seen this happen, and it's not like you can't do it again. I've basically been doing this for years now, for as long as the feature has been available, and my feed is now actually quite decent.

@Selicre But they can still pop up in your recommendations after some time. Disliked videos just don't unless Youtube makes an exception

There's an easier method - the "not interested" button that shows up if you click the three dot menu on the video suggestion. This also helps not skew your future suggestions.

@Pokémaniac Guquiz I think you misunderstood my comment. If you dislike a video THAT VIDEO will not show up in your recommendations anymore unless there's a special promotion towards that video. You still get OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS based on that video which is still good because they're not videos you've already seen. You can also select "I'm not interested in recommendations based on this video", I'm well aware

@Jonseredi that one video. If it is still in your viewing history, the recommendations will not stop coming.

@Pokémaniac Guquiz ?? Remove what and spam what ??

You will have to remove it from your history, or it will be spammed regardless.

I’m sorry YouTube 2009-2019 for saying you were bad
I kneel
If only I knew how bad it would really get


In the arrrrms, of, the angels, you'll be goooooone


Plus the consensus of the populace is not the same as truth, you can ignore dislikes too.


We tried lads ill see you all at the pub first rounds on me


Watching this in 2021, it's evident.<br>We're fucked.

welp, I guess we all know why we are here now November 2021 sad times


Like/Dislike ratio is a measure of controversy, while Like/View ratio is a measure of how much people like a video.


You can bring it back with a browser extension on desktop and the YouTube vanced on mobile


im not a big trumper but you bring up the mueller report is pretty funny considering the recent news concerning the steele dossier


Ah I see Emplemon is a man of culture. I recognize that Bloons tower defense music anywhere

Ramón Elbal Ruiz and it costs twice as much as the mobile version. didn't stop me from buying it twice tho

@quantum. Yup, almost all of his examples were biased towards the right wing

I didn't really like his biast critiscism of leftism

@King Dededelicious There is a BTD 6 on Steam. But it's paid. And it's grindy af. And the double cash mode is a microtransaction. At least there are plenty of user-made challenges and a good variety of towers (alchemist is amazing)

Paolo we need to save the BTD series since they're discontinuing Flash

Ah yes~ That song got stuck in my head for playing it too much... Is one of the best tower defense games ever!

The Fish X that alone tells us that he is to be trusted (cuz he is)


The dislikes not being seeable, manly tears


I love how thorough your content is, even if your channel became a top 10/reaction channel I'd still watch it


Yep, it has started...
The start of a new era...

NOW WE CAN ABUSE THE FUCK OUT OF THE COMMENT SECTION WITH THE WORD "DISLIKE"!

That or tell everyone to install the dislike restore browser extension.


he was correct the counter for dislikes is gone


Just wanna congratulate you on making a video that has a second life (becomes relevant again years down the line).<br>It's pretty cool when videos suddenly become relevant again because their creators wanted to talk about something that, at the time, not many cared about (I think).

19:31 I regret my curiosity and reading this😢🤒


muh feeling being hurt from a virtual click.

edit: I'm not wrong people are wrong.


We all need to band together and get the views thru the roof so that this vid gets on YouTube's trending page. Oh...wait, we're living in a reality where that likely will never happen, and dislikes will be a thing of the past. 🤦♂


THIS IS SO RELEVANT NOW WTF

This video's a win-win for EmpLemon. If you like it, you agree, and if you dislike it you're proving his points. This is genius.

Soon they're going to get rid of comments too


For anyone that didn't see yt's new twitter post from 3 hours ago, it's:
"In response to creator feedback around well-being and targeted dislike campaigns, we're testing a few new designs that don't show the public dislike count. If you're part of this small experiment, you might spot one of these designs in the coming weeks"
[then shows picture of new button designs for like, dislike, share, download, and save.]

@Mercury no it’s because they’re pissed about rewind being the most disliked video

Yeah this video is now so much more relevant, but it was already good advice for creators.


Do what I do don't like anything unless you actually like it

This guy is using Bloons Tower defense 5 Music.  That deserves a like

I thought it was btd4 music but it sounded a bit different lol

I didn't wanna say anything because I wasn't sure it was actually <b>from</b> BTD5

I didn't wanna say anything because I wasn't sure it was actually *from* BTD5

He also used the Simpsons hit and run for PS2 Soundtrack

I think it would be a neat idea if he did a documentary on flash games since flash will be discontinued in a few short years and all those games won’t be playable anymore.

Instantly dropped a like when I recognized it.


Odysee have, and will continue to have a disslike button.


I agree YouTube shouldn't remove dislikes, but argument basically boils down to "people don't weaponize the dislike button, but also weaponizing the dislike button is good and people should do it."

It's true though. It only hurts people who want to lie to themselves about their popularity.


Its happened, dislikes have been removed, THE END IS BEGINNING.


Unfortunately we have been brought here again.


Now I won't know or remember the dislike number count


Well, they did it, today (November 10, 2021) is the day YouTube has finally removed the visibility of dislikes.


@Sneal changed my comment to be more appropriate

No, it aged extremely well. He predicted that Youtube would eventually try to delete dislikes, and he was right.


unfortunately youtube didn't like dislikes


"Very different from anything I've made in the past year and a half"

is emp finally going to drop a new YTP?

noob2243 his face has been revealed before

idk, i think he's completely forgone standalone poops and instead utilize the editing style for his informative works for the lels. But I guess we'll eventually see

I would expect an IRL video more, where he shows his face or somethin'. But I dunno


NOO WE CAN'T HAVE NEUTRAL RESPONSE ANYMORE CUZ THEY REMOVED DISLIKES


I disliked this video because I like this video on dislikes


Dan Olson does look like the type who wants to give corporations more power. He just doesn't know it.


This video has 11 thousand dislikes, interesting.


HOLY SHIT. THE DISLIKES ARE GONE PUBLICLY.

Of course they want to remove it.<br>Then YouTube rewind 2018 won't be the most dislike video anymore.

Aaaaand the dislikes disappeared... So sad...


This is becoming more relevant. Love ya content Emps.


First they take the dislike button. Then they'll take the comments. Soon they will take over opinions. Orwellian future is nigh.


Its incredibly ironic how many dislikes this video has. (I'm not trying to make a statement, I just think its funny; I actually completely agree that dislikes need to be kept)


12:17 gross... Tim Pool is such a slime ball


The day will come when they will even remove the Like button. That day is not far along down the road. It might happen sooner than you think. Way, way sooner.

@Anavrin consider the fact that your recommendations are far more influenced by the titles you click than by what videos you like. The act of liking does indeed add to that ponderance but the gross of it has already been established by the act of going to that video, and if you think about it, that is far more meaningful because it is the part that represents curiosity. That is what actually drives people. The act of liking does nothing to confirm whether that curiosity has been satisfied, but instead just establishes if the content is in tune with your ego. The platform is far more interested in feeding you content that will stirr you one way or another, they don't really care about feeding your ego.

Still, I guess there is indeed a point to be made about keeping one trapped in a self-reassuring bubble but as advertisers they also need to bring in new content and products into said bubble, and this is again why the act of clicking the video is more revelatory than the act of clicking like: curiosity. Whether you like the product or not will entirely be up to you but the fact that you looked at it - that is what they are after. That is the reasoning behind what I said, but ofc there are always other ways of looking at it, depending on one's purpose.

I don't think they would do that. I think YouTube wants to cater to the consumers so that they see a big number and click.


Well i mean that you could instal a crome extention and see the dislike and dislike cocomellon or we start a potition to add it back


This video has 81,943 likes to 11,234 dislikes, amounting to a ratio of 88%. VidIQ still works on Microsoft Edge!

Have we hit the bottom of the downward spiral?


Steam's dislike button for reviews turned into the same useless dislike button YouTube comments have.
What was once "120 out of 600 people found this review helpful" turned into "120 people found this review helpful", making many awful reviews look decent.
Luckily for us they added a "funny" option. So now terrible reviews look like this, "86 people found this review helpful. 584 people found this review funny".
Steam unknowing created a clown spotting button.

@fartsnstuf you shouldn't take out a feature that ultimately does good just because some people use it for the wrong reasons

@Sleeves But there are several problems and variables in conjunction with each other, one of which is that the general audience won't/don't look into the context of why it's being review bombed, for example Monster Hunter World had a bad launch, which the reviews reflected it, after the game got patched and fixed after the launch; the reviews still reflects the game when before it got patched and fixed, still leaving it at a 6/10; which is same rating of No Man's Sky, a notorious rip-off that over-hyped itself into oblivion. between the two, i'd play Monster Hunter World over No Man Sky any day of the week, another notable example is Kerbal Space Program being review bombed because of a controversial chinese translation which boils down to PC culture trying to police everything. In short it's like Reddit with its own sort of ruling system

@fartsnstuf I disagree. Sure, a lot of these issues are temporary and/or not relating to the core game, but how else will people speak out? With big developers, the only two ways for customers to protest is boycotting and review bombing, and if the game's actually good, then clearly the second option is better. Companies will keep doing what makes more money, so this is a good way to influence them into doing what's good for the consumer.

@fartsnstuf the problem with the Take-Two case is that if we tried to fight the mod ban in a less harsh way they would just not care
review bombs were used BECAUSE they were effective - as on here
disliking rewind is a message that we don't like their approach, negatively reviewing a game (in this example, GTA 5) is a message that we don't like what they are doing
and it's the only way to answer in a way that they will care about, since many people might not look at the forums of a game/comments of a video, but they will definitely notice when a game/video is rated under 50% positive, and that makes the corporate heads go nuts

@Sleeves The problem is that you're comparing apples to oranges in this case, people already bought their desired game, and whenever something bad happens around the developers/parent company (Take-Two temporarily banning single player mods with the use of OpenIV, past Metro games getting bombed cause Metro Exodus is going to be a Epic store exclusive alongside Rocket League and Borderlands 3 getting acquired as well) considering that Valve isn't THAT controlling in comparison to Youtube in this case as long you're not a hacker/cheater, you have as much freedom of speech you can do on the site, I agree that what Take-Two did was harsh, and what's done is done as single-player mods are back and OpenIV is still running, but there could have been a less drastic way to amend the issue at hand, and if all other options have failed, then review bombing is fully justified. In the case of Metro's future games, Rocket League and Borderlands 3 being Epic store exclusive; review-bombing for petty internet drama that only a minority cares about is ridiculous, cause they'll eventually crawl back/towards to Steam in a couple years, or in Rocket League's case: not leave the steam store, cause Bethesda tried this same sort of shit by removing games from Steam for their own launcher and store; and since it's doing so pitifully, it's crawling back to Steam with games like Doom Eternal, Rage 2, Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot and Wolfenstein: Youngblood. appearing late 2019, not to mention adding back the games that was once removed from the Steam store.

@fartsnstuf the need to control an environment to prevent anything bad happening ever is pathological tbh.

I'm willing to accept the possibility of people abusing their freedoms as a trade-off of them actually having the ability to make meaningful choices.

@fartsnstuf Like the "dislike mobs" talked about in this video, review bombs have reasoning. Of course, in this case they do exist and aren't hugely rare, but groups of people don't poorly review a game for no reason. Once again referencing the video, this doesn't always mean the game's bad, but it does mean the people behind it did <b>something</b> wrong.

@YouTopia let me guess, you vehemently defend review bombing games?

what a terrible decision on Valves part, especially given that Steam exists solely because it at some point provided people a good user experience for making informed purchasing decisions - even amazon knows better than to sabotage itself like that.


I’m getting Netflix flashbacks, god I miss the Five star rating system


hmm, youtube just thinking their funny recommend me this now huh


Lol I heard bloons music in the background


Wouldn’t be surprised if they completely suppress the last frontier of free opinion next: the comments


UMMM, Am I the only one who just noticed dislikes are disabled in youtube?<br>(11/29/21)

UMMM, Am I the only one who just noticed dislikes are disabled in youtube?
(11/29/21)

@Sharp Hoplite It's been triggering a big response alright. 'Me at the Zoo' the first ever YouTube video had it's description changed to a rebuke of the dislike removal. Even Jawed is fucking pissed.

Well sh!t, if this does not trigger a response, like when they tried to overhaul the verification system, to bring back the visibility of dislikes, they will remove them completely.

The announcement was made weeks ago. It's just been a slow rollout.

Another reason to use YT less and to only use it on my Pc with an adblocker and a free dislike extension

It’s the beginning of the downward spiral. Enjoy what little is left while you still can.


its november 15th and this video has 81k likes and 11k dislikes


to sum it up with dislikes =
"Balanced as all things should be" -Thanos
without dislikes =
"On the brink of collapse" -Thanos


They just mad cus youtube rewind 2018 got so many dislikes

@Sue Zuccati They basically said: "If we are too dumb to make a rewind, we are not even trying this year. This wouldn't have happened if you didn't dislike our past rewind, be respectful this time." And it's like the most insulting thing youtube has done to the community, it's like they gave up on us, and blamed it on ourselves. This company deserves to learn a lesson from the community, because they didn't understand the first time.

And 2019's rewind also. Instead of getting in touch with the community they still are trying to impose that we should be happy with them.

If only they represented actual youtubers instead of Hollywood celebrities, trust fund babies, and nu males.

But nope, gotta clench every last cent of that ad revenue! dab dab dab "hIt oR mIsS!!1! fortnite"

Freesmart Channel as if that isn’t completely PR and how much the idea was thrown around almost a month after the rewind hit the top of dislikes

Yet Susan is Happy of It Being the Most Disliked Vid


they turned them off because their political propaganda was getting mass disliked


why even have dislikes or likes at this point.


Waiting for the inevitable sequel to this video


"Removing isn't just a good thing, it's a great thing."
I always interpreted that more like "isn't it great that I've been incapacitated from saying anything negative about this? Sure is awesome."
But what do I know


Hell yeah! I for one prefer these long videos, as it gives me something to stream in the background whilst I'm doing tasks. I'm currently moving into a new apartment, so I guess it's time for me to hear my favorite angry vegan ranting whilst I'm loading boxes!


they actually fucking removed the dislike button its coming true


I hear that RealJims music. Now you can’t dislike that.

@Supreme Lord Daddy Emperor President Trump the nostalgia hearing that hit me like a truck. That game series was my childhood. I remember back when BTD 2 came out and everyone at school was super excited.

@Supreme Lord Daddy Emperor President Trump yeah that made me smile a bit, never seen someone using btd soundtracks on a video

Meme Insider what about the Balloons tower defense theme


To support, I’ll give a big ol dislike. It might not add to the counter, but I hope you see.


Use this comment as a dislike button

Not for the video but for Youtube's shitty antics


I think this video serves as an amazing commentary on how those at the top try to keep those beneath them by masking their agenda to "serve the underdog" when in reality all they really care about is themselves.

It can be seen everywhere. Relationships, our government, politics, and YouTube's dislike system as shown in this video.

Listen to 15:30. YouTube's argument for obscuring the dislike button is to protect the smaller creators from the "dislike mob". When, in reality, the videos with the highest percentage of dislikes are all corporate entities and no small creators. So really, this policy is not in service of the community. It is in sole self interest of the 1%

Thank you very much I just pulled this out of my a$$


Now all they have to do is get rid of that pesky comment section, then youtube will be a much more inclusive community that allows people to express themselves and their opinions

Oh by the way I was being sarcastic


“creators are better served by having a circle of people they trust” he’s literally advocating for a... circlejerk?


EmpLemon is the greatest prophet of our time.


As a European, I can confidently say that I accidentally liked the 2018 rewind.


Emp’s video essays have a 100% chance of being at least entertaining


The dislike mob statement is stupid. There are way better ways to deal with that like making it to where you have to watch the video to a certain point to dislike.


I will now comment like or dislike on videos because of youtube being youtube as usual


Jo you casually making box plots and statistic stuff I am studying psychology and need help with that stuff plllss help..


I clicked the disliked button not because I didn't like the video, I quite enjoyed it actually. I clicked dislike to show my support for the dislike button.

Oh good. People are doing it ironically.


Can't believe YouTube is actually removing dislikes now...


well here we are again, this video is always worth revisiting when youtube messes with dislikes, even in spite of overwhelming criticism to the idea


Rewatching emplemon reminded me of the jelloapocalypse "vote." video. Ahhhhh, what a time.

"What do dislikes do?" Show if people like or dislike the video. It's pretty straight forward I think.


Youtube: Look at how poorly this video has been received! Removing dislikes is clearly a popular opinion, judging from how many dislikes this video has.


I still remember when you could dislike comments on YouTube and the dislikes would actually show up.
The dislike button on comments is just a ghost button at this point, I'm convinced it doesn't actually do anything now.
Bring dislikes on comments back! It was a good way for communities to defend against spam and bots in the comments because they'd dislike the shit out of them and they'd get pushed to the bottom of the comments. Now comments could have 1 billion dislikes for all we know but it'd just look like a regular comment still. What's the point of even having it at this point?


Its over emp dislikes get removed today its been a good run

Rip dislike button (2010-2021)


Ironic how the people who dislike dislikes disliked this video in order to show their support for disliking dislikes, ironic


The dislikes on this video are the people who want dislikes removed, which is a paradox


You know I don’t know if a lot of the dislikes on this video are some kind of intentional irony, or just proves his point or a little bit of both.


Unrelated to anything: your voice reminds me of Yandere Dev.  It's so distinct, slow, analytical, and confident, which perfectly pairs with videos about the themes of pointing out truths through data and people's bizarre choices.  I'm inclined to trust you more than any psychologist I've ever seen appear on TV

That's the most brutal insult I've heard in a while


It's been an honor, gonna miss you dislike button


almost 3 years later and now they're fucking doing it


Aaaaaand its done...  Emp's known since 2018 and nobody listened to him


I think more bigger social medias should have dislike buttons. It shows how the masses actually feel about content and it's helped in alot of bigger cases it seems like. But that's just me


I agree with this video, but I am the kind of guy that sorts reddit by "controversial" to get around the hive mind circle jerks lol.


and this video regains its relevance once again.<br>This place gets worse and worse.

and this video regains its relevance once again.
This place gets worse and worse.


There's a very simple solution, simply deactivate the rating buttons until you've watched a minimum of 25% of the video (not necessarily just the first 25%, or any uninterrupted portion that's 25%, just a quarter of the total length of the video, in however many pieces and if you finish watching another time) and maybe a minimum number of minutes for short videos.

Also I preferred the more granular star system, but If I got to reform the current ratings system, I'd leave the like/dislike bar alone, with the same very basic showing the number of likes and dislike and the graph. But what I'd do if give the user the ability to vote twice. So people could either vote like, double like, dislike, and double dislike. But the great thing about this is that for most people it wouldn't really change anything, everyone gets 2 votes and the like/dislike bar still just shows the totals and the ratio, but if you rolled over the bar you'd open a details pane with what would still be effectively the star system, you'd have a menu with 5 options, REALLY like,  like, neutral, dislike and REALLY dislike. and then you get 5 bar graphs that show you how many PEOPLE voted for which of the 5 options.
So you could see some more useful information like you might have a 98% like/dislike ratio, but when you  look you see only a handful of people rating it REALLY, by far the most people just liked it, a significant number of people voted neutral but that few as they are, your down votes came almost exclusively from people who REALLY disliked it. From this you can determine that your content is generally mediocre, fairly bland and non-offensive, but that you don't really have a dedicated core audience and that a small percentage of people either really hated it, were extremely offended, or they strongly disagreed with your message.


Bastards did it. Not super Democratic, in my opinion


the concept of someone disliking this video is extremely ironic if you think about it

how does someone convey that they don't agree with the idea of dislikes on youtube? by disliking the video of course!


It's official. It's being rolled out now.


Today they made another tweet about removing dislikes


It's laughable to say that people who come to youtube are anti-big corporations.  You sit here on your Windows or Apple computers and view the site on Google Chrome.


Doesn’t Dan Olson have half a million subs and also a pretty large community within breadtube? Seems like his audience likes him and doesn’t mind that he disables comments on certain videos that hit the zeitgeist.


It is confirmed that dislikes are the same engagement factor as likes for exposure algorithms. So today is opposite day. Never be saddened by the ratio on this video.


they should have a like/dislike waiting period when watching any video


And now they're doing it as if it's no big deal


It’s always great to see how high that number is in YouTube Rewind


Paying my Respects. RIP criticism on YouTube I guess


I was dislike bombed for no real reason for a few years until I moved on from national content. Even I don't support removing dislikes.


looks like youtube bowed down to big corporations!


welp fuck, sometimes I wish companies would just listen to people that aren't full on brain dead.

I hope dislikes aren't finally gone now, please tell me how badly this comment ages.

They are finally gone...<br>I installed a Firefox add on to reappear the dislike counter but apparently it won't work in near t :(

I think they should get rid of likes and dislikes and instead have it that the video has a bump rate, so that likes counteract dislikes and vice versa.<br>So a controversial youtube video would have as many "bumps" as a video that is barely seen because the likes and dislikes are so high equally.

Likes and dislikes shouldn't ever have an effect on video viewership or else "dislike mobs" would actually become a real thing like on Reddit


They should just make the dislikes on comments actually work.

It used to be like that, I don't know why they changed it

They work, instead of a bad comment having dislikes, it has no likes


Those tiers seem pretty off to me ( I'm not a content creator ) but video is great, as always


Maybe they should make the the button only clickable when you watch more or finish the video?


The dislike button on comments is just there to mock you


bruh ive watched like 7 of your vids in the past 2 days, more than any other content creator and you still dont come up in my recommended 😩


9:00 yup. If I go on a video and the ratings or comments are disabled, that's an immediate red flag and I dip out of there ASAP.


I disliked the video to show how much i support you.


I never look at the dislikes until I realize the video truly sucks. The dislikes only confirm my reason for looking at the dislikes.


Show that video to whoever decided to remove the count🙄


Well I guess this is a controversial video based on the like percentage.


Dislikes are needed for sites with recommendations, LittleBigPlanet removed dislikes and the games recommendations never stopped being mostly trash.


78k likes 10k dislikes<br>a video about dislikes gets disliked a lot

78k likes 10k dislikes
a video about dislikes gets disliked a lot


If it's <50% then it's YouTube rewind tier


What even is the point of likes if dislikes are gone? Just remove the system entirely at that point...


i disliked this video just because you should like them, an anyways great video emp :)


I actually like the days of the star ratings better.


Ughhhh…back to this video. Youtube did it again… 😔


Oh, the one video I can see the dislike bar. Thanks YouTube.


I'm watching on my phone and it doesn't even show the bar so you can easily see the ratio. It just shows the numbers. Also disliking a comment seems to do <b>absolutely nothing</b>

Shoutout to that time Zach told everyone to dislike bomb that one oneyplays video


Welp its time for me to pack up and carry on off. See you on another alternative platform!


For some reason, they removed the visibility of the amount of dislikes a comment gets.<br>For example, this comment has two or three likes and over a thousand dislikes and yet you cannot see that.

dislike count before youtube hid it all: 11153


The prophet had spoken and we fail to listen


LMAOOOO they just removed the dislike count.


FUUUUCCJKKK  NOOOOOOOOOOO

at least dislikes are still counted, so there’s a chance, small chance that they could revert it.


16:33
Im subscribed to several female and minority creators and i don't think one of them has experienced a dislike mob on any video
Funnily enough they don't really get involved in controversy they umm
Make dresses
Tell jokes
Play video games that sort of thing the kind of stuff that doesn't give you dislike mobs from people who disagree with you


and whaddya know, the madmen finally did it


Well, now youtube is removing them lol (still love this video haha)


On all YouTube Kidz videos, the comments are disabled, but the ratings are left open.<br>Almost like they acknowledge kids shouldn't be exposed to YouTube comments, but the likes & dislikes are perfectly fine for the developing mind

I went agead and Disliked this Video with how much I loved this


Patricia Taxxon is the only good YouTuber that I can think of that doesn't have likes enabled.


On Steam, there is no way no dislike game reviews that aren’t helpful, so the only way to show others that the review is bad is by giving it a clown award lol


mfw lula gets literally twice as many votes as bolsonaro in the next brazilian election. fascist bros... we got too cocky


10k dislikes yeah this is a banger for sure


man used the btd5 music.... i gaind alot of respect for you


im gonna dislike this video on principle great vid tho


bruh what im getting insanely nostalgic, what game is that music from 7:00-7:40 or smth from?


Dear EmpLemon,

I have long been a fan of your work, and was delighted to discover that we are peers on this oft-underappreciated issue of dislike suppression. However, as a self-styled democratist of internet discourse, I have ironically found it necessary to exercise my powers of "veto" on this selfsame video.

This is entirely due to the earrape segment found at  22:12 . I simply cannot find the words to communicate the seething enmity I felt towards you during it's excessive and maliciously self-indulgent runtime. It was appallingly insensitive towards your "secretly-listening-to-video-essays-at-work-through-an-earpiece-that-he-can't-be-seen-taking-out-of-his-ear-or-else-he-might-get-fired" demographic, and was about as tone-deaf as the injured parties were upon its completion. I suppose it is self-evident that my only recourse to represent my outrage to anywhere near the magnitude it so desperately deserves is through the time-honored medium of pointlessly bombastic and sententious letter composition. Rest assured, each and every ounce of supercilious disdain you may have detected upon reading this electronic missive, was, (in point of fact) entirely (though not altogether unironically) intentional. At the risk of sounding indecorous: fuck you. And please allow me to present this along with my downvote: 🖕

(Notwithstanding, I quite enjoy your work on the whole, and it is my fondest hope that you will compose many more thought-provoking video essays in times to come.)

Your most mercurial and noise-adverse fan,

@Sudoburger ❇✍

Nice Bible paragraph you wrote<br>Emplemon tried to mix commentary with YTPs and that's not that good

My man Dan Olson just committed a cringe.


Late comment but I just think you got fixated a little too much on Dan's appearance


Its funny when you realize people on mobile youtube can't see a bar but only the numbers


"creators are better served by having a circle of people they trust provide direct, meaningful feedback."
-Dan Olsen

Or to put it another way
"creators are served by having a circle of yesman tell them how they're doing."

You know what needs to happen now?  IF they really do remove dislikes from all videos, then on a video we'd normally dislike, we need to go to the comments and put a simple "Dislike".  No reason, no explanation.  Just do what we normally would, just with a word than a button click.  I know I'm going to do it.


People should say ratio in the comment section if yt disable dislike


Update: it happened. Your opinion no longer matters.


I will express my dislike with a swift comment


Y'know this video was fine and dandy until you had to go and say that racism is bad.

And for that reason, I pressed dislike.


Markiplier has been someone I have noticed to have a really good like to dislike ratio over the years.


I think the most important aspect of the dislike video for me is the use of telling the algorithm to not suggest me something. eg if i watch a little bit of a jake paul video to see whats going on, i'll dislike so it doesn't show up on my homepage

@Godzilla 123 I am doing both with hopes the creator would only receive a free dislike from me and not a view

You can just remove the video from your Watch History. It has the same effect.

I could see why people would go with that though. Easier and faster.


We also need dislikes to keep neutral responses like/dislike ratio neutral.


whatever you have to tell yourself buddy...


"looks like the dislike mob here is just discriminating against Canadians."<br>As they should! I'm Canadian and think we should be discriminated against!

"looks like the dislike mob here is just discriminating against Canadians."
As they should! I'm Canadian and think we should be discriminated against!


Having dislikes (and likes too) is a ESSENTIAL thing and here I is why:
There is a voting system called approval system, a specific version of it you say yes to the candidates you think should win/are good and if you dont rate with a yes/like/good/thumb up its assumed you dont want to like it.
When you have tons of candidates (like youtube, where you nave an extreme amount of videos) and can't know everyone, this specific form of approval system become biased towards famous stuff.
Imagine a video has a quality of 20% (this means that 20% of each person that view the video will like it) and 10 million views, this video will have 2000000 likes. Now imagine a less famous video with 80% quality and 100000 views, this new video will have 80000 likes. Thats 250 times less likes while the quality was 4x times bigger.
This happens because the system (when looking only at likes) counts not knowing the video exist and liking it (if you viewed it) as hating it (since it wont get a like), a solution to fix is to look at the ratio of likes. With all this fame/views, if the video has a low quality with all those likes because of extra views, those extra views will also bring the haters and so the dislikes.
Not only dislikes shouldnt be removed, but what youtube should do is instead of showing the amount of likes and the amount of dislikes, it should show the formula LikesToDislikeRatio= 100 *( Likes /(Likes+Dislikes)) to the users (maybe only showing separated likes and dislikes to the owner of the channel), with the sum of likes+dislikes when you put the mouse over the likes to dislike ratio score (to avoid videos with 5 likes and 0 dislikes and so a score of 100, being seeing as a awesome score). PS: it would require at least like or dislike to the score to show, to avoid division by zero.
But there is more, they said they reduced 5 stars to just like and dislike, because most people used only 1 and 5 stars, by their logic they hould have changed it to the same thing but with just 2 gradings instead of 5, yet they separated the likes and dislikes as separated thing, instead of making the average like before. I mean no one before counted the amount of 4 stars at a video and said "wow look at this amount of 4 stars".... what mattered was the average score. So (unsurprisinly) they didnt even followed the idea behind the thing they said they were going to do.
Anyway, as I said this problem happens when you have approval system and you can't dislike/thumb down something. It doenst affect only youtube likes, but also affect other things like:
-Views because its impossible to unview a video so not viewing a video and liking it counts as a hate. This case is even worse, unlike with likes only situation, viewing some video and hating it counts as liking it as it would get a view anyway, unlike with the likes only situation.
-Last.fm plays, because you can't say you hate some song just not play it and so if you would love to listen to song X but not know it exist, it count as you hating it.
-Using the amount of people that brought product X as a way to gauge quality, many people buy justin bieber albums and because of it he goes to the billboard charts,  but his like to dislike ratio is pretty low, with tons of people hating him, this happens because the thing is biased towards famous artists since you can't unbuy some album.


Dislike just because I can (at the moment)


can i dislike this to support the movement


No no no! This wasn't supposed to happen. God damn it.


The dislike button is a way for creators to find ways to improve (in other words, constructive criticism)


EmpLemon, I'm already stopping at 7:14 to just that you have pretty interesting taste in music. I'd never thought that Bloons Tower Defense (4?/5?) had great music. Good job dude.

this and Ice Climber's music, EmpLemon likes some classic games, refined taste indeed


Everyone who disliked Youtube Rewind: HOLD UP THERE BUCKEROO

Everyone who disliked Youtube Rewind: *_HOLD UP THERE BUCKEROO_*


We need to create a "national dislike day" to tell people that dislikes matter.


Unfortunately, it seems someone at YouTube didn’t watch this video.


Just look at the difference in Justin Bieber's song "Baby" and "Pray". Great example


i heard btd 6 music in the background <b>VERY</b> faintly

i heard btd 6 music in the background *VERY* faintly


Why this video has over 2K dislikes

100% - Because people love dislikes
0% - Other

@Garfield the Cat "random points" really? The video is about removing dislikes.

"Childish and politically charged insults" which one exactly?
Also the difference between "looks like..." and "you are..."

"You're one of those..." no im not. I find it nonsensical that your reasoning for disliking the vid includes him "using a dead meme".

"Fucking normies" wasnt directed at you but ok

Browsing 4chan doesnt qualify you for deciding who is a tryhard.

Also i mentioned trump because there was some other guy in the comments saying he agreed until emp "defended" trump. Not unusual that a lot of them do that.
I didnt call you a "trump hater".

@quantum. We got 2 different views of an SJW, because I dknt believe every single leftist is like this, but I do know there are a lot of radicals here and they do fit the description. I dont know why they concentrated in portland, but it's unfortunate for us. I dont got anything against 'real SJWs', although I wouldn't call them an SJW since around here thats an insult.

@Juh Yes, some groups have small amounts of radicalism in them. However continually attacking them by using your sharp vocabulary against them doesn't help anyone at all. We all need to stop fighting and work to solve the current problems in society. The right needs to realise what SJW's are actually trying to do instead of thinking of them as misadraists which a lot of them are not. The left needs to realise that calling the right "facist" "racist" "sexist" isn't going to help anybody at all, and if they are to call someone one of these words than they should justify and reason instead of hitting and running. The right will only understand the left's problems if the left calms down which is suprisingly starting to happen on small parts on youtube with many leftist channels oppening up to explain what is going on.

I was with him up until he started vaguely defending Trump. Kinda pulled me out of the video. Does prove one thing, though: he was right about getting a higher dislike ratio if you discuss politics in your vid.

@Sans Spiritus But there are the vocal minority, and I mean VOCAL, that taint the reputation of those seeking actual social justice. In developed nations like the UK, US, etc., many people, including myself believe the anti discrimination approach has (for some people) gone in the direction of anti-freedom of speech. What should happen, in my opinion, is for everyone to meet a middle ground; not everyone wanting equality are angry feminists, but at the same time, there definitely is a significant backlash (for lack of a better word) against the "majority," meaning the "cis-white males" demographic for example that especially more recently, has been occurring.

@PON PON PATA PON Social justice isn't cancer. Social justice is about equal rights for all people.

@PON PON PATA PON but is that really true, are those statements actual or just fabricated exagerations from thunderfoot. I would like you to source all the information you suggested.

I didn't like really like how he made fun of social justice either, its just a bit of a childish interpretation really

I actually disagreed with some things he said.

I honestly expected more with a video from emp talking about dislikes.


Fun fact: Youtube's going to disable dislikes on ALL videos.  Thanks, Dan.  And Disney.  And CNN.  And Jimmy Kimmel.  And basically all other big corporations, including YouTube themselves.


To put it shortly: Try imagining YouTube without a system to make your feedback/backlash known to creators, or no rating system at all in general.

Are we starting to value it yet?, I know I am. EDIT: Exactly why I would LOVE more critical viewpoints/opinions on my stuff than good, sugarcoated comments :3


If you’re being disliked, there’s a reason why.


Man imagine how funny it would be if YouTube decided to remove dislikes

would be really funny

and not at all a terrible idea

and not something they now are doing


why does this video have dislikes? do you not like dislikes? then dont dislike lmao


It seems like they're rolling it out today oct 10, 2021.


Dislike gets removed
Hmm...
Turns phone upside down and likes the video
H A C K E R M A N

*Dislike gets removed*
Hmm...
*Turns phone upside down and likes the video*
*_H A C K E R M A N_*


Aaand now the dislike button has gone black instead of blue. Numb and neutral. Emplemon was right. They are neutering the like-dislike bar.


I swear Emp is going to relapse into making YTP one of these days.


I think this is mostly a petty attempt at compensating for the Youtube Rewind dislikes

Well you and I don't know for sure, yes the evidance links up but the thing no one knows what goes on behind the windows of youtube's headquaters so we can only leave this idea as a theory.


Welp, this became very relevant now that they are actively trying to disable dislikes shown on videos...


If YouTube gets rid of dislikes, then we can't get videos like Neutral response.

@tristan the oofer 2 the neutral option is pretty pointless honestly.<br>It would carry the same weight as a person who didn't liked or disliked the video

@tristan the oofer 2 the neutral option is pretty pointless honestly.
It would carry the same weight as a person who didn't liked or disliked the video

actually i think there should be 3 buttons. one for likes, one for dislikes, and one for a 50/50 opinion. i think itd be better tbh.


Did the persons who disliked this video (about dislikes) did so, not because they really disliked this video, but because just for the opportunity to do so?


hey, 5:40 i think this video is very contrevertial


And we're back at it again<br>He predicted it now YouTube legit wants to limit the visibility of dislikes

And we're back at it again

HE WAS RIGHT. LIKES AREN'T EVEN BLUE ANYMORE


Easy solution, make it mandatory to watch enough of the video to dislike it, or like it for that matter.


Emplemon literally predicted it, the prophecy is true. <br>It's like a Time Traveler warning people that this event will happen.

10. the noise of a fan at night


Coindidence? I think <i>not so democratic.</i>

Coindidence? I think _not so democratic._


im too damn lazy to save videos into watch lists i made for them. i wish there was a little button that would automatically save anything you enjoyed into an accessible list so you can rewatch those videos.

WOW, LIKES DO THAT. so when i give a video a like, that doesn't mean i liked it, it means i liked it enough to watch it again.


Before the video I didn't really have a stance but you've convinced me to want to keep dislikes.


You knew it was coming, no one should be surprised....


People shouldn't be allowed to rate videos at all until they've watched enough of it


Why do people have to drag politics into everything?


Ta porra menor apareceu até comentário brasileiro nesse vídeo e aquele vídeo da mulher besta lá.


If they remove the dislike count, I'm disliking every video I watch


EmpLemon feels like a big brother sometimes. Giving you hard to swallow pills and telling you to man up on the internet.


The only big instance of a dislike mob I can remember is when Leafy would target small creators and so would his fans on 2 separate occasions. But that’s not even a dislike mob. That was a case of targeted cyber bullying and public harassment that spiraled out of control, which is even worse than a dislike mob


Every video I watch, I automatically like it. If I end up not liking it, I'll go back at the end and dislike it.


YouTube has been removing features instead of innovating them for years at this point, this platform is falling apart


Emp: I made the dislikes go away by improving my content.<br>Emp 5 seconds later: Blasts my entire neighbourhood with a ytpoop

Emp: I made the dislikes go away by improving my content.
Emp 5 seconds later: Blasts my entire neighbourhood with a ytpoop


Crazy how youtube, a site that's been popular since 2006, is desperately trying to imitate Tik Tok


it's funny that this video has quite a lot of dislikes, because most of them were probably from the people who don't like them


People disliking the post because they don't like dislikes is the most ironic thing I've seen on the planet


I feel the rating tier list should only apply when a video gets enough likes/dislikes


I very highly doubt anyone’s going to see this, also, I’m not a professional, I’m not super smart, but I can see a possible reason for disabling dislikes, but it wouldn’t be the sort of reason YouTube would remove them. I think that having both likes and dislikes can get you stuck in a bit of a content loop, making content specifically to please a crowd, which causes YouTube to recommend your content more, and if you decide to make your income off of YouTube, then, at least from the way I see it, you’d need to keep making similar content just to please the algorithm, and keep your source of income. Basically what I’m arguing (I’m bad at trying to get my thoughts out coherently, so sorry about that) is that the whole system with likes and dislikes, and the whole of YouTube as a whole isn’t really a great thing. So teah, that was me trying to explain my views relatively incoherently, thanks for reading, happy to try elaborate on anything.


I impulse dislike sometimes. I can like (and/or agree with) the whole video, but if there's just a single moment that's too annoying or stupid I'll just go for that button. For example, in some of you videos the audio levels can be very fluctuating and if there's a loud sound effect all of a sudden (especially meme like volumes where it gets distorted), that's almost a guaranteed dislike from me :x Also if people take too long with their intro stuff and advertising their podcast that has already been cancelled two months ago or something like that

@Mr. Moon Yeah, you make a good point. I try to not do it, the commenting alternative is better

I feel like this is the sort of stuff that lets people say dislikes aren't useful, because disliking a whole video for one mistake or minor infraction is just pointless imo. Use the comments for that.


it's funny that according to the video's own metrics,  it's a controversial video

but i fully agree with what is being said

I think people are disliking because it’s the topic of the video and not because they disagree.

except the part about bolsonaro, i hate that guy


as a person who dislikes a ton of videos, I can say the reason I think its absolutely necessary to have a dislike button is, when someone dislikes a video, that's them telling the algorithm "yo, don't suggest content like this to me, I don't like stuff like this", which allows me to clear my recommended from a lot of the garbage content youtube force recommends down my throat.

there's also an option which says "Not interested" in the three dots menu, works too


They did it. This new feature will leave a sour taste in my mouth


I think what a ton of people get wrong is that the dislikes themselves don’t affect a video’s performance, but rather the amount of them compared to likes.<br>I’ve never seen a video with a ratio less than 50% ever show up in my recommended feed.

As of 26/08/2021, the YouTube dislike bar doesn't even have blue anymore. Just a filled in thumb and a not filled in thumb.

As of 29/11/2021, Youtube dislikes are no longer public. I expect this to get a disgusting amount of backlash and be restored in like a week or two.


I always thought it was a big mistake for people to Dislike a video based on disagreeing with the view presented.
You should be judging whether the video:
1. Lives up to what the title advertises.
2. Is a good quality video for the people who are interested in that video title.

Because you’re performing the function of rating videos for the benefit of future potential viewers. Disliking a video that delivers on its title and is well produced, is utterly pointless if not counterproductive.

I am someone who obsessively, ALWAYS rates EVERYTHING. I Like or Dislike almost every comment I read. I always vote on websites with article ratings. I’m the guy who goes down an Instagram post and Likes every comment I agree with, just because. I almost NEVER miss rating a YouTube video, partly because of my duty/obligation to future viewers, but also as a “breadcrumb” to remind myself at a future date that I’ve seen the video before.

Nevertheless, I RARELY ever dislike any videos!! Only if the title is an utter bullshit LIE to deceive viewers into clicking, where they’ll all be subsequently disappointed, or if a video is somebody else’s and they’re just reuploading another copy of it, but their version is worse than the original or worse than other copies. Because obviously nobody wants to watch a shit version of a great video.

Or if a video does something egregiously disrespectful to the viewer like purposely blasting loud noises during a segment of whispering as some kind of juvenile prank.

Otherwise 99% of the time, I either Like, or don’t rate the video if it’s just something I’m not interested in, because I neither want to punish nor reward the creator.


YouTube rewind 2021: the most disliked video ever

Youtube: removed the dislike button, 16 unskippable ads


So how the hell are we supposed to gauge if a video is worth our time or not now?


Coming back to this video hits different now that YouTube actually removed the ability to see dislikes or at least on Mobile anyways


I saw the dislikes on this video and assumed I'd get to write a funny comment about the dislike mob. Instead I was greeted with someone who has thought about this enough to where there so sick of it and can't make the argument without making the people he's trying to convince mad. Like gay people who've gotten so sick of having to justify their existence to people that they just make fun of them and leave (somebody advise me on how to rephrase that nicer, because I do mean it in a nice way)


I always thought hitting like would tell their recommender to give me more like this and dislike would say to knock that shit off. How is Youtube going to know what I like and what I don't now?


3:48 User criticism can be supplemented by the comment section, making dislikes redundant. - If that is indeed their claim, not only is it preposterous, but it's disingenuously preposterous because they know better than to make that claim. However, is that really what they claimed?

3:48 _User criticism can be supplemented by the comment section, making dislikes redundant._ - If that is indeed their claim, not only is it preposterous, but it's disingenuously preposterous because they *know* better than to make that claim. However, is that really what they claimed?


if youtube keeps track of retention time, to avoid dislike mobs from clicking dislikr without seeing the video they could just only count the likes/dislikes of users who have more than 50% retention time? problem solved??


I’m starting to notice that YouTube are removing creep catcher channels. There is something going on indefinitely


I didn't notice I must have seen this video before because It's got a comment from 11 months ago

I still stand by the dislike button. Only someone who doesn't want to know when others don't like them don't want the dislike button


People that disliked this video talking about keeping dislikes are living in a paradox


I think you should have to watch a majority of the video to be able to rate it


Humans should have the right to dislike something. YouTube is becoming less You.


Glad to know I can make a racist YouTube short and YouTube will hide all the dislikes in the Short format.


The prediction has come exactly into fruition


Looking a these comments, 3 months later and there's still dislikes, lol. I've heard they've removed them from a very minimal amount of videos, but every video I've been watching lately has dislikes.


Y'know, if the like/dislike bar resembles a cigarette, that's how you know it's a good video.


if they fully remove dislikes, we should just comment "dislike" on videos.


Fun fact: this video is in the controversial tier


The person advocating for disabling dislikes is a breadtuber. Shocking.


10:50 Well oftentimes it is the alt right. Nutty socially conservative videos don't get downvoted anywhere near as much as nutty socially liberal videos. Almost any time a new video is uploaded containing the phrase alt right (and the alt right didn't make the video or the word hate) then the dislikes will pile up fast.
15:29 See? Bolsonaro is a rightwing populist and that's the video that got the highest ratio of dislikes.


if anything, dislikes make them have more views.


I was sitting here, wondering why I don't find content like this in the Japanese YouTube space than I realized it's because this is primarily a world issue, Japan is the most free out of all the Asian countries whenever you compare themselves to the Chinese government and north Korea specifically.

Though perhaps it's because that's not popular to express such a thing within the current cultural climate Japan is in these current years. I'm only an American, I cannot say anything culturally significant about another country that I don't even live in, it's not the citizens I dislike, it's the government that I disagree with purely. That's all I can provide as someone foreign to Asian cultures.

@Someone That isn ́t funny i intentionally wrote that here


Nice job, honestly I thought mediums were bullshit.


I love how the people who disagree with this DISLIKED the video. (IK not all people disliked it because they disagreed with the message or content, but a good amount likely did)


YouTube doesn’t care they just don’t want to see the negative reaction to the rewinds


inugami korone's videos only have 99.96% likes. this is absolutely unacceptable.


they're just mad about them having the most disliked video on their own platform. (edit: just saw you made this point in the video lmao)

anyways, whats even the point of dislike button on comments? it does nothing but become blue when clicked


Dislikes are good, look at what happened to Twitter because they have no dislike


Just saying this is the first video in months I've viewed on my phone that's actually shown the dislike amount


I agree but I somehow feel like I should dislike this video


OH SHIT EMP YOU"RE AY 87.9% THAT's CONTROVERSIAL TIER!!!


I think YouTube wants everyone to become yes men


The latest iPhone update for YouTube has removed them.

DONT UPDATE IT.


In YouTube shorts, the public dislikes are already hidden.


Wow! The Youtube like and dislike function is binary? If only we had more options! Like, for example, what if we had five? Nah, that's crazy, Youtube has and always will have 2 or less options. Always. All of the time.


Youtube dislikes are not a measure of objective quality. Youtube Rewind 2018 was horribly disliked and probably cost them millions. in fact, do you think that contributed to them thinking dislikes are bad? Because they were used against them?


if you get rid of dislikes we’d have the system of twitter: a 14 year old boy commenting “ratio” under the video

dang you said that in the 18th minute. eh my comment still contributes something


YouTube dislikes is the reason I still have good mental arithmetics


If likes are removed, I won't be able to instantly dislike a video when the uploader tells me to like and subscribe


Viewing a video may make you look at a ad first, so the creator gets a little bit of money. And commenting something like "i don't like this video because of uga bunga" will literally just make the video more popular and you'll probably get harrassed

Also a example of this is: Not liking a broom you bought, and going out in the streets like " HEY! THIS BROOM HELPED ME CLEAN MY ENTIRE HOUSE BUT I STILL DON'T LIKE IT, GET IT NOW!" And somehow making people be interested


If I support his points should I dislike it?


If dislikes get removed I wonder what will happen to neutral response


bring back stars and maybe the "binary system" wont exist :D


Im one of the few now that has dislikes hidden, doomsday ahead!

Rest in peace neutral response...


love the super smash bros music in the back 🔥


11:30 That right ,, WE dont Want Sebs .. we want utubers!


My most disliked video is 20-50 when I predicted that Steve would be in smash instead of Banjo. At this point, I just think it was funny.

@Gamer's Holy Army Yeah. I even anticipated the wave of negativity and made an alternate video about why Banjo was more likely. Didn't matter lol

You got to be wrong and right at the same time.


If Youtube removes dislikes expect to see grifters in the comment sections going “Like this comment if you hate the OP!”

Same shit that happens on Twitter
“Ratio”, “RT if you hate X”, “Like for X, RT for Y”

It won’t get rid of dislikes, it’ll just create a new form of fishing for likes


ahahahahahahahahaha hey uh youtube’s new Shorts feature, tailored towards phones and looks like tiktok, does not show dislike counts. Also, this Stories feature which i know fairly nothing about, does not actually let you dislike.

I have photo evidence of these if you have a discord server

Uh oh! They presented me with a little survey thing: "What do you dislike most about comments on YouTube?" They permit me to answer in 6 ways:
Comments lack two-way discussion
Comments are repetitive
Too many rude or hateful comments
People who comment are not credible
Comments are not informative
Other
there is no option to say I like comments.


I disliked, not because i didn't like the video, i loved the video, but to share my l o  v e.


Is this a case of:

it's not me that is wrong.

It's you that is wrong, bc I always have to be right and can't take criticism from anyone else about what I'm doing.

?


Usually, if a video has likes and dislikes disabled, I leave a dislike just because lol.


Next they gonna hide subscriber counts to the youtuber themself.


disliking this video to exercise my right


i wasnt around back then. but man would the star system really fix youtube.


ur now just getting to number 1 ,, 13:42 mins into the video ...
( lol jk ) i love this channel u the man Bra .


On an older channel of mine, I actually did disable likes and dislikes because of mass dislike trolls. It happened every time I uploaded. It was odd.

Dislikes still further video growth. Who cares if you get dislikes, it helps you way more than it hurts you.


Im afraid that, with the title like that, people will click just to dislike because "haha funny" and actually make this video/ opinion seem controversial.


they should make it so the comment section has 3/4 sections, people who liked, people who disliked, regular, and maybe people who did neither


25:45 20k hours in the game and not even typing in the right place


corporate overlords want to get rid of the dislike button because it's used against corporate overlords??<br> that makes NO sense

corporate overlords want to get rid of the dislike button because it's used against corporate overlords??
 that makes NO sense


Disliked to show how much I enjoyed the video!


It's basically when removing dislikes is like Lenin the all in favor j.k his only fans the majority which is our minority while the minority is the majority  part in russian revolution oversimplified.


oh yea....it's starting baby! I called this when I first saw his wavedash and boy was I correct. Now the only thing left is for kazuya to conquer smash ultimate and destroy it's roster balance and it will be brawl and smash 4 all over again baby. I can't wait

How do you wind up this lost on the internet?


I have no idea why this video is disliked by me.... I guess I accidentally hit it.


2:12 they have been doing this with tons of videos that talk about trump or involve Trump. It’s so fucked


This comment section has to be ballanced soooo

I hate your content. Balanced as all things should be…..


disliking this video just for the hell of it. i rarely dislike things lol.


if dislikes are removed for being too controversial. Then wouldn't likes too be controvertial?


Any <b>person</b> who makes kids videos  must be completely irrational!

Any *person* who makes kids videos  must be completely irrational!


Removing dislikes is just a horrible idea. If a video has a huge amount of dislikes it tells the viewer "hey, somethings wrong here" ever came across those videos that claim to know how to hack a game but are actually just scams? Those always had a ton of dislikes, that's something that could very easily save the viewer from getting scammed.

Yes you right but if only the harambes working in youtube understands it.


I’m leaving a comment on the videos I watch and this is a copy paste to make it easier for myself


well it's 2021 and dislikes are still here


I've had a 12% rating on a video of my cat because some kid made a dislike mob on the video. I mean they shared the link with their friends and told them to dislike the video. I've since unlisted the video.

That's kinda funny tho, also dislikes still further the channels growth.


Funny how is just showed up in my recommended, besides, watched this vid at launch :D


Dislikes are so helpful for guides. If it has more dislikes than likes, it sucks and I’ll watch a different guide.


What would the famous logan Paul forest video be without dislikes


Hey Emp, should I dislike the vid, just to spread how importancy of Dislikes


Hmm. Yes. This important thing is made of important thing


Actually would you a video on courage the cowardly dog?


and then theres pewdiepies balanced video


You have some good takes but damn if there aren’t some thicc political undertones

yea :/ id say its the one thing i dont like from this channel

Joe Biden, wake up. 9/11. Today same day, what happened 2001.


YouTube app has disabled dislike visibility 😐


On this video I think they added dislikes


I disliked this video because it is important but i likrd the video honestly


I liked your video but since it benefits you, I have decided to dislike


I love it that you used the voice of that Chills guy for your countdown. Made me laugh. God that guy has the worst voice I've ever heard.


can't wait till "ratio" becomes popular after youtube removes the dislike button...


no, whats binary is having it governed by a single togglable button

i disliked the video because i agree with the message its trying to send


I was kinda weirded out recently cause while i got my original perception of who Dan Olson was from you..... I then saw Dan in some of Hbomberguy's video insulting even worse people and then I realized that Despite Dan's feelings towards Dislikes (most likely brought on from actual right wing hate mobs hounding him) he's still a better youtuber than you let on to be


I wouldn’t mind if it distinguished between likes and dislikes by subscribers and non-subscribers on every video.


The irony of someone disliking this video because the disagree

"I disagree with the idea that we need dislikes, and to show this I'm going to dislike this video"


POV: You’re here after the announcement.


I kinda wanna dislike this video. Just because.

I'll take YouTube poop over video essays anyday


Bro I'm high as fuck right now. I listen to a lot of Tim Pool and you made me question reality when you used those clips.

Also, great video. You brought up a lot of good points that I never thought about.

Tim pool was great on jre and I subbed to his YT channel because of that. However, I found his videos to be less about helping viewers understand issues in a nonbiased format and more about feeding the machine of outrage culture to exploit views. Maybe I find hyperfocused political commentary tedious as a whole...

Being high has so much to do with that lol


8:06 I don’t entirely agree with this because having to adjust your opinion to the audience because of dislikes isn’t a good thing. However I do agree they’re needed if it’s an opinion that causes harm to people, or the video is just outright vile. ex: The Logan Paul forest video. It had a real half-assed anti suicide speech.


With YouTube Rewind 2019, let's all break 2018's record.


now that dislikes will be removed, people will probably just report spam instead :))


they removed the dislikes on a few of my videos, and removed comments. based ass shit


You want to get rid of dislikes... okay you can do that no go right a head, then you'll have to get rid of likes too, cant have one with out the other. You cant jusy have it good all the time, got to have bad too. Top of all that people will just say "dislike" in the comments, or worse. I get people do things like disliking something before they see it or try it which i have done, but thats our right to do that.


11:44  you must be *high* to think that!


Your script writing feels like it's improving a lot, points feel a lot more concise and flow nicely. Keep improving, Emp.


i could be the 9.7k'th disslike. but i dont want to disslike this video


All the dislikes on this video are people that are ironically disliking it


Well YouTube is actually trying to do this now so it's probably going to become a feature


I don't know if it's just me but I sometimes use the like button solely for bookmarking/saving purposes. So this way it's easier to find the video if I have to search for it.

Watch later is my save forever playlist. And youtube occasionally shoves watch later in your face, so I exploit it for comfort memories - how convenient.

I tend to use the watch later playlist to bookmark interesting videos I like.

@Gelatinocyte it was aimed at OP, but I also find it odd that so many commenters don't seem to know or care about the "watch later" feature. I use it all the time and just use the "like" button for videos I actually like so the algorithm feeds me better suggestions.

@Rkplblenny <br>Is that a reply to me or to OP?

@Rkplblenny
Is that a reply to me or to OP?

Why not just use the "watch later" feature for this?

All YouTube playlists have a 5k limit, how can you possibly come back to the older videos conveniently when they're past the limit? It sucks!<br>I liked OP's comment, btw, I don't want to get strawmanned.

I liked OP's comment, btw, I don't want to get strawmanned.

@Hermanni Theres still a add to favourites feature.

That's honestly the whole reason why i use the like button (as well as why i rarely leave likes), since YouTube completely removed the "Add to Favourites" feature.

Same. My liked videos list is just a song playlist. Can't be bothered making a proper actual playlist

Same. I usually use the like button for videos that I may want to come back to later, and rarely dislike videos unless they’re “objectively” bad.

Same here,it's actually pretty useful for that purpose. Doesn't make dislikes any less important,though.


I agree with the video but i had to dislike it😂


I did my duty and pressed dislike because I approve of your message. 4/5 stars

you clearly didnt watch the video then or you dididnt pay attention

I with you fellow YouTuber your comment will be disliked

dat boi TOO LATE I ALREADY LIKED MY REPLAY YOU INCOMPETENT STRATEGIST

1un4cy they should put that in if they are going to remove dislike

remembers when youtube had 5star ratings


They should just replace 👎 with this 🖕 lol I mean it makes more sense


If the likes and dislikes are 50/50<br>you have found that one Futurama clip.

If the likes and dislikes are 50/50

Who ever dislikes this video is a hypocrite


I've personally never used the dislike button, however, I realize what their significance is. The Ghstbusters 2016 trailer would look very different without it


Dr Emplemon: How I learned to stop fearing and love the dislike


Tbh with topics like gamergate, likes/dislikes are completely useless. People hit dislike without even watching the video. That's why the option to disable likes/dislikes is good on some videos.

I hate gamergate too but fucking no. The people that hit dislike without thinking don't need to be regulated against, people that don't like dislike mobs can turn off ratings, but dislikes are important to fight off shit like scams, malicious "tutorials", and dumbass capitalist corporate decisions, getting rid of dislikes because of dislike mobs does bad, and doesn't do ANY good, targeted hate mobs will find other ways to attack creators, they won't just give up.

"stifle public discourse because some people dislike something without knowing about it"

No. No video should have dislikes disabled automatically. If people want to disable like/dislike manually, then fine. those people are cowards.


Youtube wants to get rid of dislikes so that their rewinds can look "good."


This has hore dislikes than the video about trump and liberals


YouTube makes a video, everyone hates it. It becomes the most hated video on YouTube. YouTube removes dislike button. PROBLEM SOLVED

P.S. wow, thanks for the likes!

I'm a leftist, and to an extent a lot of the ideas in the rewind are rather fabricated, yes I support diversity(and other forms of social justice), what I don't support is large corporations including diversity(and social justice) for the only purpose of improving brand image. So my outlook: Fuck the corporations, Support social justice.


Came back here because the like/dislike bar is now only a black/white that's horrible on the eyes.


I disliked this video back then and I agree. Youtube is going apeshit again.


Dislikes removed... <b>Downward spiral.</b>


This is gonna be so ironic when we come back to this and the dislikes are gone


Or better yet, use the same star system as old YouTube and Newgrounds, except the ladder has a 0th star option.

@Bio-error 1d10t: User unable to create name. That's actually pretty clever.

@MiX3K Or have stars ranging from red, then up through the yellows and white-greens, then blue, and for the highest ranking, indigo-lavender.  Like real stars.<br>Have another one with black holes (basically for saying "this sucks) That would work great, but I think it might confuse some people, so it should probably be used on an astronomy forum instead or something.

@Bio-error 1d10t: User unable to create name. I mean, technically the 0th star is just a shattered star, so you could theoretically count it as a negative.


Who’s here after hearing that YouTube is planning to remove dislikes? EmpLemon predicted the future


I went STRAIGHT to this video after I heard this. Man...


Used the “I hate the pill” clip?<br>You have my support

Used the “I hate the pill” clip?
You have my support


This is when someone says the milk thing


An aged wine my friend, an absolutely well aged wine...


Could you make an update video regarding this since Youtube is up to this again

@Landon Hoover No new comment is nessicary

This video just became a whole lot more relevant


finest fucking wine aging I've ever seen.


Google and censorship go hand in hand, give em the least amount of leverage and they’ll make the most out of it.  I really wish I would’ve appreciated YouTube when it was great.


Welp, now they're experimenting with only letting creators see dislikes, because like 1.5 creators whined about seeing dislikes. Beautiful logic. Plus, the "Disable Likes and Dislikes" feature already exists!


they really plannin to take out dislikes, susans pretty much od'ing on positive vibes just so she can think she's been a good ceo


Well, now I have to share this video with everyone I know


You were way ahead of your time with this video


GENERAL QUARTERS, GENERAL QUARTERS, ALL HANDS MAN  YOUR BATTLESTATIONS!!!


who came here after YouTube's announcement


And this video has become relevant again, because Youtube is on a downward spiral.

And this video has become relevant yet again, because Youtube is still on a downward spiral.


Not even two years later and here we are... 😔


especially with the bloons td battles music used at 7:20 and the rise in popularity of bloons TD 6


Welp, it's finally happening.... Just one more motivation to YEET out of Youtube...


Oh boi they just announced to pretty much remove it


And now i will watch this video twice just for the hell of it. Banger video, dude.


And now this video is more relevant than ever


Sometimes YouTube will change something that irks me. They have made the likes and dislikes white and black now, and moved the comments, which are kind of annoying. When they added double ads, that also was annoying but truthfully I won’t be up in arms about it.

But now that they are actually implementing this in an experimental way is a terrible idea. That would legitimately frustrate me, but I can’t do a whole lot to convince them since they don’t listen to people. There is a reason why people hate the Facebook and Twitter rating systems, because removing dislike is the dumbest possible idea you can have for a platform.


And years later, it’s finally happening! <br>(On “select videos” at least.)

And years later, it’s finally happening!
(On “select videos” at least.)


THEY DID IT! THEY REALLY DID IT! I immediately thought of this video when I saw it!


Emplemon pulled out his inner Simpson and predicted this shit perfectly


"I, for one, welcome our insect overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a Youtube personality, I can help in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves."


lol. Had to go back to this after the news


Well well well look who unfortunately predicted the future.


This is getting more relevant than ever.


Enjoy the traffic on this video. Courtesy of YouTube.


This video is more important now than ever before.


This video couldn’t have come at a better time when YouTube is considering taking the Dislikes away thanks Algorithm


Who is here after YouTube’s little “ experiment” tweet?


So that's (one of the reasons) why YouTube recommends new Folding Ideas over old ones, his latest popular video has the ratings on. No dislike mobs there either. YouTube wants engagement, it doesn't care how.


Not only is removing dislikes a bad thing because of no other way to check for the agreements of a video, it will deliberately demolish the goal of Neutral Response.

"I have no strong feelings one way or the other"

The best solution is for there to be no likes or dislikes...

But that is impossible to achieve


Welp, this video is more relevant than ever.
.
Edit: This video is way more relevant then ever.


Glad I wasn't the only one who's first thought today was coming back here.


it was never a matter of if, but a matter of when, sadly


I do imagine this is a bad thing that will happen, but then again in another video from this channel, (youtube vs viacom) he specified at the start that youtubers generally adapt to any new guidelines or design changes and everything basically stays the same...

Everything continues to become worse, yet nothing ever hits the critical failure point where they'd have to actually try to fix problems to make the website work again...


"Grass roots youtubers like pewdiepie and MrBeast" MrBeast is in youtube's pocket


This vid is going to be popular, only a little while until this shiz explodes


Here (again) becuase of the recent youtube tweet update lol

Here again to say, yeah... youtube sucks


>very extreme option<br>We are in the endgame now I suppose

>very extreme option
We are in the endgame now I suppose


@Kevin Luo ah yeah, apparently you're right, I don't watch shorts so I never noticed

@Michael Vogel If you go on mobile, and go to youtube shorts, it only shows you likes but not dislikes. People usually complain and then forget about these changes quickly though.


4:10 You cut the best part! "My knob tastes funny"


i'm a new sub and i'm really enjoying your vids.

...but i'm gonna dislike this one because the irony is too funny to me. 😀


Red and Green are difficult for some colourblind people tbh. So using green and red is not really good for accessibility.


One thing i dont understand and nobody ever brings this up
Is why do comments have a dislike option
Why do they have a dislike option
Its been there since I started coming on youtube in 2014 or so, and its always been there with no dislikes shown, yet nothing's been done with them


I came here to say you were right. It's happened.


Well I haven’t updated YouTube yet, so as long as I don’t update I’ll still see the dislikes.


emp lemon just does not miss god damn

Edit: nvm Emp Lemon REALLY does not miss


<b>They removed the Dislike counter!! Now no one can have an opinion!</b>

*They removed the Dislike counter!! Now no one can have an opinion!*


Well Susan just did an update as an ‘experiment’...


5:05 for an example, Mcarthur Park by Richard Harris is 88%


YouTube is really gonna do it. Every time I think they won't sink any lower, they do.

It does seem to be a common theme with them in more recent decades...


It's actually happening now as well LMAO


Nah, we failed to stop YouTube despite him warning us.


When someone dislikes this video: <b>Ironic Palpatine</b>

The white house was triggered by the dislikes so now youtube wants to disable it.<br>This is now very relevant.

I love you, dude. I fucking hate Dan Olson and Quinton Reviews (even though I'm subbed to him).


This video is somehow in the controversial tier


Arguably the video already provides enough information that a 2nd video could likely just lead to repeating the same things just with more recent events to work with


Thanks for letting me know about Youtube rewind 2018 just disliked it


A prediction of the past that became true in the future


12:09 took a wild turn there for a second. lmao


Wow, this is <b>way</b> too relevant now


Nah, the darkest timeline is where the Nazis won in Europe and Aisa.

A dark timeline maybe, but not the darkest...


It's all has to do with politics. They only care because it's the things they support which are being downvoted.


Dislikes are being removed, so use this comment as the new dislike button.

@GameMaker 3_5 I really hope this is not how we need to show that we dislike something, but it seems to be the case.


Im gonna have to have a talk with my washing machine video


Joke's on you, outdated video! Youtube actually wants to remove dislike count now!

Doesn't make its message any more applicable in recent times...


reddit is the opposite of removing dislike


Surprisingly, i enjoyed this video. I actually am a big fan of Dan's content and content creators like him. I do wish he showed his ratings, though, i didn't know he was entirely against dislikes because I have no social media, only Youtube and he never seemed to mention it on his youtube. But honestly, this dislike to like ratio is goofy. It doesn't matter if they go away or not because, like you said Emp, they will always be there. I think dislikes are good because if someone disagrees with you they can slap the dislike button and feel like they did something; like they deflated your entire argument! My only criticism of your video is that you kinda just say stuff. I wish you showed actually studies and hard evidence rather than graphs you made. You also seem to target exclusively liberal audiences. You might see me as "liberal" because I said i liked Dan's content, but trust me, I dislike liberals.

Also, you definitely did cherry pick on who gets dislikes. When you mentioned the whole Leafy and iDubbbz debacle and how iDubbbz shooed Leafy, you ignored all the kids and other people Leafy targeted who definitely had a smaller following that him.


Probably... but then again, he did mention that youtube threw the idea around a few months before this video came out...


<b>H E R E   W E   G O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O</b>

Youtube is really smart,destroying free speech so every shit content creator can walk around bragging on how many likes they got and how nobody hates em


Sadly this happened, the dislikes are no more.


TheUnknownKoala4545 / Dark We Bare Bears


Am I the only one who disliked the video just because of the title?


Oh so NOW everybody gets mad dislikes are removed, but whenever I say Twitter should ADD dislikes, people get pissy at me. OK then

Twitter never had dislikes to start with...

YouTube is tampering with one of the fundimental functions of their website.

Although that doesn't mean I believe your idea is stupid, it could be done with purpose... might make the site 3% less toxic


I disliked this video in agreement of your argument


The dislike mob is just a bunch of people hitting the dislike button for shits and giggles


I wonder if dislike is Tottaly removed
Ppl would just comment stuff like
"Reply this comment if you dislike this video"


God damn he’s a prophet, a god of the likes of montizon and Susan Wojikiiiokojokoijschky

Why did you comment this at like 6 A.M?<br>I just woke up aroun that time...

Why did you comment this at like 6 A.M?
I just woke up aroun that time...


Most of the channels with the most dislikes on their videos, are just shitty channels to begin with. (Except pewdiepie, he's a legend.)


could someone spam mob tweet this Video at Team Youtube? I don't have Twitter ^^;

@GameMaker 3_5 I don't wanna have Twitter though it's 90% too toxic^^ Youtube Comments might be Toxic aswell but I stuck here long enough to handle it. Not with Twitter though


The people who disliked this video are the biggest hypocrites on earth.


What, why do people say dislikes are removed...I still see dislikes (with a blue bar under it) ... living in Germany. Hope it is just A/B testing and they will come to the conclusion that dislikes should stay!

We can only hope that it will be what they come to...


"Dislike mobs" is hardly an issue on YouTubers' minds. It's such a pretty thing to make big changes over.


How do you make the most boring subjects sound interesting


i feel like the EU is literally gonna ban vpns

Maybe they'll legally require VPNs to tell websites whether their users are in the EU so they know whether to obey EU restrictions.


For ages, l havent't gor any possibilities to dislike comments.


How about a timer that makes it so only people who have watched all/most of the video can comment?

Arguably you could just let the video run without actually watching it and still dislike.


Someone make a youtube alternative please.

Dailymotion, Vimeo, Bitchute, and StoryFire all await you when you are ready to mobilize with the millions of the other men we will need for our D-day invasion...


In summary: Small creators can't get hurt by dislike mobs, because dislike mobs are not that relevant. Proof: The most hated videos of all time are not made by small creators but are more like public fuck ups.

Even big conntent creators like Jake Paul manage to get attention and views besides the hate against him


My boy emp needs way more subs then he has considering the quantity of his vids


If I'm being honest; I like the blue/gray. The red & green is bothersome to look at.

@quantum. I can see what he meant, others have argued this same point too. I just think it looks better.

I suppose, it could be argued that emp's view on the colour change of the ratings bar is rather nitpicky as it could be a more softer aesthetic change to suit the colours surrounding the website.


Should we remove dislike<br>No 50%🔵   NO but in red 50% 🔴

Should we remove dislike
No 50%🔵   NO but in red 50% 🔴


I don't know weather to like to show support or to dislike to show support

I think disliking it can be seen as a way to support the continuation of the dislike button


If dislikes inhibit a video's growth by impacting the algorithm, whose fault is that? Youtube's. They act like the algorithm is a runaway droid that they have no ability to improve.

I will say, as devil's advocate, that I find the constant dislikes on totally harmless and high-quality videos to be extremely annoying. Dislike brigades are a thing, it's just that they're not necessarily organized; they exist as opponents of a particular content creator, like an anti-fan club, who make a point to dislike the video no matter what.

On some videos, you might see comments saying "this 10 minute video has been up for 1 minute and there is already a dislike" or comments like it, which express incredulity at the impulse to insult someone's work. It shows you the troll mentality that good people have to put up with.

I will say that you really adjusted my opinion with this video though and I do think, primarily for the use of anti-corporate defense, that dislikes should be maintained.


Disliked because of the pointless ear rape...still a good vid tho


Wait, so the people who support removing dislikes have disliked this video? Hmmmmmmmmmm

@ian silent I agree that the way he overly "attacked" other creators and pushed some of his thoughts was uncalled for, but for me personally I would use the dislike only if I disagreed with the general message of the video.

That's like saying to emplemon, "Why do you use youtube when you dislike its corperate ideals so much".

@Jack B No. I disliked it because of how EmpLemon pushed way too much political stuff into the video. Even thought I think I have a very similar political view as Emp, the politcal "jokes" made the video less enjoyable. I also didn't like how much he attacked the other content creator who disabled his likes & dislikes. EmpLemon went a bit overboard, I think.

@ian silent wait so do you think the dislike button should be removed?

nope. not all. i disliked because i genuinely disagree with some of his points

I'm pretty sure a lot of the dislikes on this video are symbolic, as in the people who agree that the dislike should exist disliked the video, as a bit of a joke.
