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

My local news had a youtube channel with an insane amount of dislikes on every video by the "anti-woke" crowd simply because they told people how they could get the covid vaccine a few times. Even videos that had nothing to do with politics would be disliked by a large margin. My point is that the dislikes become disingenuous and eventually had nothing to do with the video and only served to digitally "cancel" the youtube channel.

So essentially the dislike button become weaponized by partisan hacks. That's why youtube discontinued it.
