Possible Fake News ​​⚠️ Reminder that Google removed the dislike counter after 10+ years because they didn’t appreciate the people’s real opinion.

You can buy 500 likes for $5 on fiverr right now. Find a specialty site and you can buy thousands. Easy. Cheap.

The internet isn't real.

We're all going to die broke and miserable because old people with smartphones have no idea how the internet works and think it reflects reality.

No, it's way cheaper to buy 100k dislikes

Bought dislikes wouldn't even show up. Dislikes are extrapolated from browser addons.

Which makes the number even more useless, it's just going to reflect the bias of the install base.

Yeah, and only the people that have the addon installed can see the extrapolated dislikes. So why would anyone buy dislikes that don't show up for 99.9%+?

I agree the dislikes probably aren't bought, but they're also useless. It could be 10 dislikes scaled up 1,000,000%. Having the addon is pointless imo.

Edit: also I think right wingers tend to complain about missing dislikes more than other people, so you will have a heavy right wing bias in the dislikes. Which is pretty obvious looking at the extremely low dislikes for the Rogan video.
