[–] udc@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (4 children) Does anyone know is there a reason why they got rid of dislike? I'd have thought they'd want it to help improve recommendations? permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] fodor@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 month ago (1 child) They want more money. Helping the user is only good if it makes money. Anyway, down votes give viewers more information, and probably YT wants to doctor the data in a way that downvotes block. For example, I would always downvote AI content if allowed. So would countless others. But YT wants people to watch it, right? So they gotta suppress our negative feedback. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) Youtube wants you to brainlessly watch whatever the algorithm spits at you next. Ideally, you'd have no information at all about the video before watching it. No title, no creator name, no view count, no thumbnail, nothing. Just CONSOOM. Attach their autoplay slop hose directly to your mouth and don't ask questions about what's flowing through it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 8 points 1 month ago (2 children) If I recall correctly, they said it was to preview "review bombing" of small channel.

There’s probably some truth to it. If I got served with a 10 minute tutorial video and a 60% vote ratio I’m probably not watching that very far. permalink fedilink source parent
