The dislike ratio was very reliable when determining whether I should watch a video purporting to show a solution to a technical or home improvement problem. The dislike ratio was a sure way to know whether a video was a waste of my time, because for videos of that nature, either the creator offered a valid solution (and was heavily upvoted) or they did not (and was heavily downvoted). Now I'll have to trudge through the comments section like a savage beast.

This is nonsensical argument to use. Out of all the videos you've watched on YT in years how much do you really think got brigaded?

OK, so it was inaccurate 0.1% of the time, and accurate 99.9% of the time. Let's scrap it!
