Youtube hasn't had dislikes for 2 days

9 points by FramesPerSushi 13y ago ↗ HN

If you go to any video on Youtube right now, you'll see there are 0 dislikes. The bar is 100% green. A while ago they switched dislikes on the rating bar from bright red to a subtle gray, making all the ratings look a lot more positive. Are they just having technical difficulties right now, or could they be easing into an only positive feedback system?

I'm on YouTube right now, and there are certainly dislikes on videos.

Since no other commenter has mentioned it, I figure I should mention that I'm also not seeing any dislikes.

But since other commenters do see dislikes, I think it's more likely technical difficulties than an attempt to phase into an only-likes system.

I had this issue yesterday, and a few people I spoke to did too, while others didn't. No issue now though.

Maybe they are doing some kind of A/B testing, for going on an only possitive feedback.

in my case i still have dislikes in my videos, but i'm subscribed to videos with very low viewcounts anyways (a week-old video will only get 200-800 views in most of the videos in my subs)
