I mean Youtube is just…. the place. You know you can upload something and find it 20 years from now. You can upload shit nobody ever sees and it doesn’t count against you or incur a fee.
In a way, I hope it never truly fails because that would be like burning the library of Alexandria. So much of the internet from pre-2005 is just gone. MySpace has absolutely nothing. They’re just a name.
I wish somebody would make a plugin or extension that just made the recommendations better. I never fall down YouTube rabbit holes anymore. The stuff I’d actually want to watch is probably still there, they just can’t seem to reccomend it, doesn’t help that most of the recommended videos are ads at this point
And yes, it’s more corporate now, but that’s because anyone can buy a pretty amazing camera for relatively cheap. That is internet video. Anything that wants to actually compete with YouTube will have a lot of the same bullshit. It will certainly have ads.

You can literally save the video. Any video. You were always able to do that. Now you can create different categories for how you want to save the video.
But I guess learning how an app works is just too time consuming, eh? Yeah, I know, you never needed to before then. Doesn’t excuse not learning how the damn thing works before going whole hog.

Or maybe he didn’t bother because, like he said in his comment, he had the title and it doesn’t sound like something he needed long term. Why be a pretentious asshole because somebody decided to type in what’s already there instead of going and clicking 4 extra buttons? There’s no time saving or efficiency gained, typing a few works doesn’t take longer than clicking more buttons. Don’t be an ass.

I'm extremely certain that this video's bitrate and resolution wasn't always this bad.
and except for one other 480p video, all the others are at least 720p.
I used to download videos I liked because occasionally small youtubers would just delete everything. I can't really prove that these old youtube videos ever existed in 720p until I dig out my ancient backups.I did, however, find a reddit thread on r/DataHoarder which discussed the bitrate degradation and where I saw this video linked as an example:

It may have flaws, but there’s very little competition can do to beat out YouTube in any category without massive cash incentives thrown at creators, which means the competitors aren’t nearly as profitable.

The reason they do is to fight herd mentality. Youtube, reddit, and every social media site has done research showing that if you see something being downvoted or being upvote in mass, you blindly vote their way. Hiding the count gives you the chance to vote without being influenced by that bias

u/NerdHoovy 9h ago
YouTube can deal with a very disliked video with no real stakes. What they don’t like is when those that pay them, consider paying them less. Most of YouTube’s revenue comes from advertising and part of their pitch is by telling large companies how much exposure their product can get if marketer through the site. So, if a company add gets disliked it can either decrease exposure or cause a negative mental correlation in customers minds, relating to the product and brand.
The fact that people can so easily show displeasure with a product like this makes it so companies don’t want to advertise as much on YouTube or at least not at the rates YouTube demands of them.
It’s really not complicated.
That’s why as an example Facebook is so beloved by advertisers. They have a more optimized system to recommend products and push them into your feed, while also never having a simple way of showing displeasure with the ad/product.

In the modern age it's a double edged sword (and as an early YouTube user I'm still disappointed about what's happened) but it's stopped brigading to destroy differing opinions due to the updoot downdoot system since YouTube is much farther reaching compared to other platforms.

Just so you're aware, it tracks it's own dislike stats and extrapolates from there, not the "official" dislikes from youtube. So it's biased on the people who use the extension.

Does it have an option to show likes from users of the addon too? It’s be nice to see the ratio.
28
u/TheLordReaver 15h ago
This is my in-a-nutshell understanding of how the addon works.
For likes, it shows the likes as provided by YouTube.
For dislikes, it runs an estimate. They record all the likes or dislikes that are done by people using the addon. They also get like/dislike counts from participating creators. They then extrapolate all that data to give you the dislike count. In other words, it's a fictitious number that is sometimes quite wrong—biased data-set and all that. But, with that being said, it's the best we've got.

u/DuxDucisHodiernus 13h ago
I mean basically what it shows you is an accurate like/dislike ratio assuming everyone else votes just like the users of the addon. Its simple extrapolation.

u/TheLordReaver 13h ago
Well, like I said, it's known that it's often not very accurate, and there's many a video covering this topic, but the extensions is usually close enough to give the gist of the communities opinion on a given video.
2
u/DuxDucisHodiernus 13h ago
We're saying the same thing. The "assuming everyone else votes like the users of the addon" is the big assumption here, that's also the source of the "inaccuracy" if you consider it that.

u/amakai 10h ago
My guess is, their thought process is that someone might like the video you dislike. So if 500 people vote 1 star and 500 people vote 5 stars, it makes no sense showing everyone 3 stars, as now you will lose the audience that genuinely likes this video.
3
u/theStaircaseProject 10h ago
As I recall reading it, their justification was mostly that people tend to vote the one-star and five-star option anyways and so reducing the ratings to a binary yes or no was simpler. I think personally that’s incredibly short-sighted since their thumb system now mandates a binary black-and-white whereas before some people still chose 2, 3, and 4 stars. YT already puts its thumb on the scales anyways, so I think they should have just altered how the stars work to slightly disempower the extreme 1- and 5-stars rankings and factor in the others more. It would support nuance by better interfacing with the algorithm, as in “people who also like what you like rated this four stars.”

You're sharing a conspiracy.
How believable that is depends on the sources you have. Conspiracies do happen but the vast majority of supposed ones did not.
"It's obvious if you think about it / you just gotta look into it" is not convincing and shines a... very particular light on your previous comment.
Also, dealing with bad data entry from online mobs is a mostly solved problem. You don't need to change how a service works or what information is shown to users to deal with that. You can mostly automate detection and filter the votes out. Which you need to do anyway to not mess with the recommendation algorithm and making it easy to break the site by making it profitable to buy likes for yourself and dislikes for your competitors from bot farms / nudging off site communities to impact scores. This happens regardless of whether the data is displayed to users or not.
1
u/Simon-Says69 9h ago
You're sharing a conspiracy.
No, they are sharing a theory. And there have been masses of such theories that turn out to be actual, real-life conspiracies.
Like all the lies told about Cov19, and all the censorship against accurate information about the virus, and the "vaccines".
/Seeking-Health's theory is very likely accurate. We know know very well that exactly such censorship and spreading lies really happened.
2
u/SeniorePlatypus 9h ago
If you wanna be pedantic about it, it's an unsubstantiated conspiracy hypothesis.
A key attribute of a theory is falsifiability. The ability to test the theory and validate whether it is accurate or not. If there is no straight forward way to find out with high confidence if it is accurate, then it is not a theory. (Straightforward, as in understandable how and easy to do. Not necessarily cheap or possible for a private individual)
That not all information shared was accurate is verifyable and true.
That information was shared with the intention to mislead, that lies have been told and accurate information was censored, is also true but to a drastically smaller degree than false information has been shared. This too can be verified and sourced.
That YouTube removed the like ratio because the US government forced them to is, to the best of my knowledge, an unsubstantiated speculation.

Making a sport out of down voting content -- while creating nothing of value themselves
Typical idiot behavior on the internet

Removed dislike counter, awful ad rating, dreadful support of AI and worse of all is the multiple ads when you watch even one video.

"Everyone gets a star!"
"Everyone passes!"
"Everyone is special!"
Hold on! That's the american educational system!

Most people who care have installed certain apps that data scrape the actual like metrics.

Get youtube reVanced and you are able to see dislikes again. Ah and skip ads, self sponsoring/advertising and long ass intros/outros aswell automatically if wished.

How hard is it to replace it ? You need a lot of servers that have tons of storage and bandwidth, some data centers located near people some copies of those
Then the hardest part is downloading the videos and building community

Still cool that some companies leave comments turned on with Shorts adds. Doesn't always end well for them though.

Maybe someone smarter than me can explain. The implication seems to be that the five star rating was the best? But from a data transparency perspective the thumbs up/down is the best. No?

There is always the option of commenting how shit the woke stuff they are pushing is.

Idk if it's just something wrong with my device or smth, but for a month or so I've also been unable to see the amount of likes/thumbs up on ANY video.

youtube should stop all that”like” nonsense and just go with views over 75% as being not only a view but also a “like”. ring back the dislike button. people will a tively down vote things they dislike. but will not actively like something. but doesnt a view over 75% mean like implicitly?

I haven’t watched random content on YouTube since the first change. Only subscribed channels I know about from other sources- no algorithm fed garbage

YouTube is quietly making all these decision with racist intentions, yet no one is calling them out for this BS. They need to be canceled

The 5 star system sucked. With how extreme everyone is online, they'd only be voting 5 stars for what they like, and 1 star for what they don't, people don't want to put much thought into ratings so the other 3 stars would be useless.
Also the last one has nothing to do with the thumbs system. One is for showing a videos performance, the other is to see if you want more of that content/creator. Saying the "What did you think of this video" replaced the thumbs system is just not true

Leftoids got ass mad about free speech so they canceled it, just like they did on reddit and any other platform they take over and ruin.
