>>2045391Then they should scrap the entire like/dislike system altogether. Giving visibility to positive feedback only obviously generates a bias.
The whole "dislike brigading" argument is clearly just an excuse. Even when there's a swarm of bugmen with a hateboner, it amounts to a thousand dislikes at most, among tens of thousands of likes.
Most people just don't bother disliking videos, even if they don't like them, and even if they don't like the person making them. The few autists motivated enough to increase the pixel size of a red bar are insignificant.
The L/D ratio only becomes significant when something is bad enough to make the average person click the dislike button. Stuff like Rewind, the Gilette video, corporate trannyshit etc. Curiously enough, that's the only kind of content this change would really protect, as the average content creator, vtubers included, rarely gets over 1% of dislikes on any given video.
