Why do youtube have dislikes?
Your likes and dislikes directly effect what video you could be watching next. They help the youtube algorithm make accurate decisions on what kind of videos you, as a viewer, would like and would keep you hooked to the website for a longer time.
YouTube added that it had heard directly from smaller creators, as well as those just getting started, and said that many felt they were often unfairly targeted by efforts to increase the number of dislikes.
What does the dislike button on a comment on YouTube do?
The dislike button on a comment is designed to assist YouTube in identifying viewer sentiment and increase engagement on a particular video. Engagement is the key to YouTube and what viewers opine is essential to YouTube forms an important part of YouTube’s suggested videos algorithm. It is however just one part of the larger picture.
Why do people like/dislike videos on YouTube?
People who enjoy the video leave a like, people who do not will leave a dislike. This creates a like/dislike ratio to gauge the popularity of the video, as well as create (mainly reinforce) individual user metadata about what kind of content the user wants to watch.
The dislike button, along with the like button is a tool to measure how the content is received by the public at large. It indicates the engagement on a video because people choose to like or dislike a video when they can relate to it at a personal level, even if they disagree.
How does YouTube determine which videos are trending?
I believe the more “actions” a video has (like, dislike, view, share, comment) the more popular it is, and YouTube uses these actions per minute to determine “Trending” videos. YouTube has a dislike button so users can express their dislike of a video or comment. It helps users tell content creators how they feel about a video.
