So now we have to read a community note to know a video is garbage instead of just seeing a massive dislike bar and clicking off?
Didn’t they take away the dislike button?
The removed the dislike count a couple years ago, so you can no longer see if a video is terrible.
“Return YouTube Dislike” extension for Firefox and Chrome.
Works surprisingly well even after all this time. I often forget its been removed.
It isn’t a real count of users who have clicked the dislike button, YouTube no longer makes that data available.
So I would not put much stock in that number.
I’m well aware of how it works.
Then why put any stock in it whatsoever
you can still see that number on smarttube
The thumbnail and title alone is typically enough to know how garbage it is.
LOL definitely a real comment by a real person. Dislike bar…
The dislike bar was real, I’ll tell ya, I’ve lived nigh on eighty years and me own two eyes seent the dislike bar clear as day! Ye better believe, sonny, it’s the truth!
Yeah, the dislike bar used to be a thing. You could see how many dislikes there were compared to likes, all represented on a line below the two buttons. It was sort of like this image, except imagine the “yes” and “no” as a single line (but retaining their separate colors).
Wait till you tell him youtube used to have a 5-star rating system
It was a bar that showed the ratio of likes to dislikes
I don’t see what was wrong with the comment of /u/voyajer. Can you elaborate?
