guys somebody found out an alternative to dislikes what do we do; we remove likes; make the like button look like a ball; how about we reverse the change and show the dislike count again the ability to easily identify bad content is essential with a user - generated content platform. without divisible dislike count people will be unable to see what content is good and what content is bad. this will result in scam videos thriving and youtube content will become mediocre in the long term because when nothing is seen as bad, nothing can truly be great. WHAT HE SAID: HOW ABOUT WE REVERSE THE CHANGE AND SHOW THE DISLIKE COUNT AGAIN THE ABILITY TO EASILY IDENTIFY BAD CONTENT IS ESSENTIAL WITH A USER - GENERATED CONTENT PLATFORM. WITHOUT DIVISIBLE DISLIKE COUNT PEOPLE WILL BE UNABLE TO SEE WHAT CONTENT IS GOOD AND WHAT CONTENT IS BAD. THIS WILL RESULT IN SCAM VIDEOS THRIVING AND YOUTUBE CONTENT WILL BECOME MEDIOCRE IN THE LONG TERM BECAUSE WHEN NOTHING IS SEEN AS BAD, NOTHING CAN TRULY BE GREAT.
