YouTube Struggles To Fight Mobs Weaponizing Their 'Dislike' Button (theverge.com)
"YouTube is no stranger to viewers weaponizing the dislike button, as seen by the company's recent Rewind video, but the product development team is working on a way to tackle the issue," writes the Verge.
Suren Enfiajyan shares their report on a new video by Tom Leung, YouTube's director of project management. "Dislike mobs" are the YouTube equivalent to review bombings on Steam -- a group of people who are upset with a certain creator or game decide to execute an organized attack and downvote or negatively review a game or video into oblivion. It's an issue on YouTube as well, and one that creators have spoken out against many times in the past.... Now, the company is planning to experiment with new ways to make it more difficult for organized attacks to be executed. Leung states that these are just "lightly being discussed" right now, and if none of the options are the correct approach, they may hold off until a better idea comes along.
Ironically, Leung's video itself drew 2,654 "dislike" votes -- nearly double its 1,377 upvotes.

Of course it is. Stalin showed us quite well how intersectional style "no hate speech" rule set works and what it does to people and the nation. Russia before 1917 was one of the most democratic states in Europe, well on course to become a genuinely good place to live, a rapid progress from one of the worst places to live in in middle 1800s. Then far left got in power, instituted very specific rule sets which corrupted the people and the nation to end up with what was the single most horrifying genocidal event and biggest ever enslavement event of productive people.
The only thing that is surprising about people like you is that you do not learn anything form the past. But I suppose that's given. When you have a mindset of an average People's Commissar of Soviet Union, Western liberal model is an anathema that prevents you from acting on your destructive impulses, and something to be subverted by any means possible.
As far as I can tell, based on the angry people who hate the ad here, the people who hated it are raving nutcases hellbent on misinterpreting it to the greatest extent possible.
brought up by tyrannical mother, away from 'toxic masculinity', never left to solve his problems alone....the very thing the ad encouraged.
There was no such thing encouraged in the ad. That's you absolutely 100% making shit up. At NO pint did the ad say that abusive mothers were better than fathers. I think you need to examine yourself heavily to see how on earth you managed to form that opinon.
My other nephews are two girls in high school. They complain that the boys around them are 'not serious and responsible'. Well, duh! When asking them to give an example of a 'serious man' they always point to someone older than a millennial. This ain't a coincidence.
lolwut. Even Shakespeare wrote a play about how teenagers are impulsive idiots. This is not new.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
