So there's a dislike bot on Youtube now...

[Clearing the Eye]

My main, number one question as to this matter:

Who the hell cares?

The author of this thread, for one.

Great. Just great. This is so helpful.

This is just a warning to other uploaders that such a thing exists, so don't get discouraged.

I recently got 8 dislikes on a video in the span of less than a minute (I was checking how long it would take youtube to update), on a video that previously had nothing but likes. 56 of them.

And I poked around and sure enough, I'm not the only victim of this.

And...several other examples.

IF ya hate my work, nothing but respect for ya. I can understand not everyone will enjoy it, but one person's opinion should not count 8 times.

So I ask you, my fellow escapies...how do you even begin to report something like that? If the dislikes where gradual, I'd understand but yeesh. There's no way it would just explode with hate like that in less than one minute. Anyone know a counter?

Why would people go out of their way to do this?

Welp, I just had a look at your channel and it seems pretty interesting. Way too late for me to be watching anything now (Civ V stole my entire night again ><) but from the looks of the videos, it seems right up my alley. I'm adding to my list of stuff to watch with my lunch tomorrow ^^

You are aware your Minecraft analysis video was posted on 4chan's video-game board right? That could explain the large amount of dislikes in such a short time frame.

Why in the ever loving god would you post a video of yours to 4chan OP? it is not an advisable viewer source. Quite a few of them get their jollies off on this bit of mischief.

I'm gonna assume it wasn't OP. Cause it was posted with something along the lines of kill me, this video is awful."

Damn straight I didn't post it.

:/

Who knows, that might have been it. I was confused just by the fact that they all showed up at once. Wellllll...either way, it's 4chan. Not gonna loose sleep over that feedback. Thank you for informing me of that though.

Oh, thanks! Well something good came out of my whining then.
