For a long time after they removed the 5 star system, if you subscribed to a channel via RSS, it would show you the like/dislike data for videos as a 5 star rating. You can’t see it easily any more but I suspect, due to tech debt, youtube’s internals are still using the 5 star rating.
That’s really fucking funny if that’s true! And knowing tech debt, it might very well be!
Do what I do, stop liking the videos. If they won’t count the downvotes, don’t contribute to the upvotes.
Instructions unclear, moved to Newpipe/PipePipe and SmartTube.
also LibreTube/Flux/Tubular/FreeTube/Clipious and FreeTube Desktop and Clipious for Android TV and Playlet for Roku (get rid of your roku) and Yattee for every iOS device
theres grayjay too if you dont mind ethically dubious software
Down votes still count. It just doesn’t make the algorithm depriortize said content
So what do they do
They do actually deprioritise videos for you, if you disliked them.
show up to the channel owner to give them anxiety
The biggest loss here was the neutral Futurama video being unable to be balanced
The way short format works is that it doesn‘t need a downvote button to rope you in and keep you scrolling. Avoid it like the plague.
Unupvote is doubleplus ungood.
Why are you crosspost karma farming, it’s lemmy karma doesn’t matter
In my version they also moved the upvote count so you can barely see it anymore. Its not attached to the like button, but instead is hidden with the view count
The humans can’t downvote the AI slop videos? 🤔
The dislike button was hidden because of their unpopular rewind video. This happened long before AI videos.
