YouTube has announced it will hide ‘dislikes’ from videos to curb
“creator harassment,” with critics pointing out that this is merely a
way of removing the huge amount of downvotes on videos posted by the
Biden administration.

“YouTube has announced that it’ll be hiding public dislike counts on
videos across its site, starting today,” reports The Verge.

“The company says the change is to keep smaller creators from being
targeted by dislike attacks or harassment, and to promote “respectful
interactions between viewers and creators.” The dislike button will
still be there, but it’ll be for private feedback, rather than public
shaming.”

Quite how viewer feedback in the form of a thumbs down icon represents
“harassment” is anyone’s guess, but the immediate response to the
announcement from many was that the Google-owned company was merely
moving to protect the Biden White House from ridicule.

“Is this the reason?” asked one respondent, highlighting how Biden
speeches and White House press briefings receive massive dislike
ratios, sometimes at a rate of ten to one.

    Gee, I wonder why they're about to hide dislikes.

“This is for the White House account you KNOW that right?” commented another.

“The video department of the Ministry of Truth doing its part for the
greater good,” added another.

Another respondent pointed out the massive dislike ratio received by
the Fauci propaganda movie.

With the recent popularity of the ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ meme, this seems
like another transparent attempt to protect the plunging popularity of
Biden, whose approval rating just fell to a record low.

As we previously highlighted, despite being “the most popular
president in U.S. history” after his *totally not unusual* vote
record, Joe Biden didn’t fare too well on YouTube in the days after
his inauguration, where every single video posted to the official
White House channel received massive downvote ratios.

Thanks to YouTube, those ratios will never be a problem again.
