EPISODE 3 - YouTube's removal of the Dislike button count, has it gone far enough? 🤔

This is a hard question indeed. I agree, since KZbin got rid of showing dislikes, then it might as well get rid of likes. I do however like to know the likes and dislikes when searching videos. When I started, KZbin had a 5 star system, and even a one 1 star rating could really deflate the overall rating, but I was okay with that. I believe most folks rate videos on content, as opposed to technical difficulties, at least, that is the way I rate them. The 5 star rating also appeared next to of below the thumbnail of the video, which was helpful, and showed a percentage, not the actual numbers. KZbin replaced the 5 star system because they found most folks rate only using the 1 star, or the 5 stars, and don't use 2-4 stars, hence the newer "like or dislike" buttons. Anyway, I think that though any rating system can be misused, I think most folks use them in good faith, and I would rather have both the like, and dislike options shown to the world. I actually prefer the 5 star rating, but that may be due to my age. Anyway, good video, gave me something to think about in youtube terms. thanks for posting.

Thank you for your feedback which is very useful and provided me with an insight into the 1 - 5 star system which was before my time on KZbin, also really useful to know how the Dislike/Like buttons came about. I think we are in agreement that there is no ideal solution in tackling the subject matter discussed in my video. I do also agree not having the Like/Dislike buttons makes it tough to separate good/bad videos easily, the last thing one wants to do is to spend hours on end looking for good videos. I totally agree with you that the content is the most important part of any video, at least for me. Once again thank you for dropping by my channel.
