Since YouTube removed the downvote count I’ve stopped relying on it for information. It’s now too hard to know if what time watching is legit without it.

It might be misguided but it’s how I feel.

Same for me.

Before I would click a video and check downvotes and comments for issues.

With downvotes gone, I stopped opening videos at all. I just don't trust anymore the platform to not waste my time.

I just dont understand this take. I've never found any utility in the down votes. It never seemed to accurately represent anything let alone the quality of the video.

When what you are looking for mostly is technical content, downvotes are a good indicator.

Stuff like, how to change X in your Y car and then immediately find that the title is misleading. Or solutions to general IT problems. I just don't trust the platform anymore without being able to see red flags.
