Youtube Disliked the Dislikes

In my version they also moved the upvote count so you can barely see it anymore. Its not attached to the like button, but instead is hidden with the view count
Unupvote is doubleplus ungood.
Do what I do, stop liking the videos. If they won’t count the downvotes, don’t contribute to the upvotes.
Down votes still count. It just doesn’t make the algorithm depriortize said content
So what do they do
show up to the channel owner to give them anxiety
Instructions unclear, moved to Newpipe/PipePipe and SmartTube.

also LibreTube/Flux/Tubular/FreeTube/Clipious and FreeTube Desktop and Clipious for Android TV and Playlet for Roku (get rid of your roku) and Yattee for every iOS device

theres grayjay too if you dont mind ethically dubious software

The way short format works is that it doesn‘t need a downvote button to rope you in and keep you scrolling. Avoid it like the plague.
The humans can’t downvote the AI slop videos? 🤔
Why are you crosspost karma farming, it’s lemmy karma doesn’t matter
