Hmm, I wonder if a campaign to tell everyone to go and dislike every video they watch would gain traction. The same way Google destroyed this metric for viewers, it would destroy the usefulness for creators.

Act of petty revenge for sure, and they'll probably remove you from their fiefdom for being a troll.

Why would anyone join that campaign? That would only hurt the creators they follow and damage their recommendations.

[bellyfullofbac]

If there's enough traction, the creators would start complaining to YouTube, and they'd have to rethink it.

Also it would confuse creators: is this video shit, or is it the campaign?

[chongli]

Creators are already complaining to YouTube. So far they aren’t listening.

Let's not do anything then, and let the emperor do as he wish... /s

No, what we should be doing is figuring out a way to solve the root cause: that YouTube has this much power in the first place.
