Re:I Am Boycotting YouTube's Like Button by mattbgates on Tuesday November 30, 2021 @04:46PM (#29397908)
One man's lost feature is another man's business opportunity. I thrive on building the products and services that the mainstream, particularly Google or Facebook and now YouTube see as their downfalls. Sucks they did it and I don't think anyone will ever create anything as popular as YouTube, though we have examples of TikTok and Vimeo that certainly have their market share.

It is wrong to move the dislike button. Even I published a video for my business and got a dislike on it -- I took notice and moved on with my life. It does suck and I think you're on to something: without a dislike button, there's really no reason to use a like button. However, Facebook has never offered a dislike button, only an angry button, and we all tend to use it.

BUT... you are right about one thing: less focus on your like or dislike which doesn't even really do anything in the first place.
