YouTube finally removed Dislikes. Another win for Facebook

Check yourself. Go to any big YouTube video, and you will see that YouTube has added all the dislikes to the number of likes. It's all about being positive now! It's a Brave New World

  • I agree with all of you who are upset. It doesn't make sense to me, because Facebook has a reason for the Like button. If you don't like a post, you just move on, or you comment and tell that girl no one cares she got back with her boyfriend. But on YouTube, the Dislike button serves a purpose. We can tell within a second if a video sucks, because it's totally red and all dislikes. And I'm really going to miss all the clever dislike comments.... --The dislike bar looks like a lightsaber --The dislike bar is the size of Justin Beiber's pee pee --The like bar looks like a rolled up joint! (look up Bob Marley videos) If you guys are really curious why YouTube has done this, I can tell you why. I study social media patterns, and right now, it's obvious that all Google cares about is engagement. YouTube doesn't care about views. They care about the videos that keep people on their website, and they care about videos which make people return to the website. So what YouTube is pushing for now is videos that get people to comment, subscribe, like, and yes even comment. They didn't "delete" the comments, they just added them to the Likes. It's all about engagement people
