Democracy dies in darkness. This is another step towards the shade...

This is far FAR too melodramatic of a reaction
The dislike button didn’t make YouTube democratic.
I don't think so actually. Big tech is dystopian in nature these days.
How much closer toward the shade did society move when reddit removed dislike counts? Did we move away from the shade when YouTube introduced them in the first place? Is adding and then removing net neutral? So many questions about this hyperbole...
Democracy is Greek for “I can see how many people pressed the dislike button on this video”.
