This has always confused me.
I’ve never liked, disliked, rated, commented, or shared a Youtube video. Because I’m using Freetube, I technically don’t even subscribe anymore. Why are y’all so eager to maintain the algorithm? Does “disliking” a video feel like agency?
If you really wanna punish Youtube creators, watch their video for less than 30 seconds. That won’t count as a view, but I bet the algorithm clocks it as a dislike.









Just like I thought. You think it’s your civic duty to train Google’s algorithm in the hopes that it may favor the stuff you like.
You’re a model consumer. I’ll bet you pause the ads when you leave the room.
