YouTube is removing the dislike button, very likely in response to the Biden administration getting ratio'd to the extreme.
It's clearly an attempt to prevent "wrongthink" from spreading virally, and to stop patriots, such as ourselves, from demonstrating our strength of numbers in a non-offensive, low doxx risk way to the public, which is important for emboldening people to stand up for their beliefs. Few people have the balls to stand up for what is right, when they feel they are standing alone. Some of them are cowards, yes. But cowards and idiots still vote, something our enemies have used to astounding effect against us. There are also some among us in positions of power that could lose everything, should their true power level be revealed.
Fortunately, there are exploitable disadvantages to this decision. Allow me to paint a picture...
>Creator uploads tutorial video that's actually installing malware, deleting important files, etc., or uploads NSFW content pretending to be for kids, Right wing propaganda masked behind left wing titles, Redpill videos, etc.
>creator manually removes any and all negative comments exposing the fraud
>patriots flood comments section with praise, further "baiting the hook" for normies to swallow
>viewers can't see ratio, blindly trust video
>????????
>Profit!
We will call it "Operation Fuck Around, and Find Out" or "FAFO", for short.
YouTube has consistently pushed their agenda and control further and further, without significant consequence for long enough. We cannot allow (((them))) another inch. We may not have the resources to create a competitor platform, but what we do have are memes, creativity, numbers, and a knack for fucking shit up.
All of this, of course, will be done in Minecraft.

Any idea on the timeline for this change? YouTube seems to be intentionally vague about exactly when they're planning on fully implementing it,
I suffer the same lack of ¡¡¡transparency!!! I think I found something to morally charge YT
which makes me suspect they might be bluffing. Maybe, maybe not, they have it ready to go on a whim though I haven't done a whole lot of research into this though so I might have missed something. similar in here, I just assumed they aren't bluffing, and may be a good opportunity for a lot of things.
On a different note, it'll be difficult to implement your solution without YouTube shadow banning content. Concur, except for something entirely theorical right now, of mediocre content overload, which we lack the organization of resources to effectively, low cost, conveniently, and no less important, efficiently, test. If we go for it, then it'll be worth making a channel dedicated to finding ways to beat the YouTube algorithm. concur
