Youtube hasn't had dislikes for 2 days

9 pointsFramesPerSushi12y ago6 comments

If you go to any video on Youtube right now, you'll see there are 0 dislikes. The bar is 100% green. A while ago they switched dislikes on the rating bar from bright red to a subtle gray, making all the ratings look a lot more positive. Are they just having technical difficulties right now, or could they be easing into an only positive feedback system?

Since no other commenter has mentioned it, I figure I should mention that I'm also not seeing any dislikes.

But since other commenters do see dislikes, I think it's more likely technical difficulties than an attempt to phase into an only-likes system.

I'm on YouTube right now, and there are certainly dislikes on videos.

I had this issue yesterday, and a few people I spoke to did too, while others didn't. No issue now though.

Maybe they are doing some kind of A/B testing, for going on an only possitive feedback.

in my case i still have dislikes in my videos, but i'm subscribed to videos with very low viewcounts anyways (a week-old video will only get 200-800 views in most of the videos in my subs)
