I know this is obvious when spelled out, but sometimes things become clearer when you spell out the obvious. A lot of people are complaining about YT's moves to hide dislikes, but nobody seems to be quite over the target.

This is true in large part. Humans are social animals. "Monkey see, monkey do" applies to us as much as it does to chimpanzees. We love to be a part of trends, and to be in style, and to be in the in-crowd, and to be kept in the know -- in short, we love to be a part of the larger group. If nobody is telling us that they hate the politician we are listening to, we are less likely to be critical of that politician. On the other hand, if the video of the politician is filled with hundreds of mocking, negative coments from viewers, we are more likely to be critical of the politician.

This is the power of Trump's rallies. They show that his support is massive right across America. Biden's and Hillary's rallies, on the other hand, were an embarrassment to the Democratic Party. By eliminating the down vote, and by excluding commentary, those who control the media can keep people ignorant of the prevailing popular opinion, which may vary well be diametrically opposed to that being promoted by the media.

It's also the power of our sites like this one.

the straw that broke youtube's back was the fake Xiden administration. At first they let you comment but the comments were just trashing his illegitimacy so they probably got a memo from the White House saying "stop allowing comments".

So they did and every single video was downvoted into oblivion so hey had to stop the downvotes too.

It was completely destroying the fake narrative of 81 million votes yet one video cannot get more than 1000 upvotes while getting 10000 downvotes.

The fake Xiden administration knows it is illegitimate but it's just part of the plan:

Open borders, globalism, police state, the end of private bank accounts, the end of capitalism, the end of the Constitution and the beginning of a communist totalitarian USSA:

the Ununited Socialist States of Americunt.

hence their plandemic and creation of paranoia and fear. The Dear Leader will protect you though. You just stay in front of the camera in your pod and do what they say.

they have seen how the people don't care about freedom. Give them an inch, they take a mile.

I am not saying it is the case with Biden but public perception can be manipulated on an international level so internet points might not be the litmus test for popularity. I mention this more about how Americans viewed Saddam, Ghadafi, Osama, and Assad. These men were massively popular in their time. The "centipedes" and "qanon" crowd have a large cyber footprint and are interacting with content they would otherwise never engage with which is leading to a ratio that is slightly skewed and not everyone who votes on the video is guaranteed to be an American.

But yeah Biden probably has an approval rating of low 20's.

I agree he is probably low 20s and Kamaltoe is lucky if she is in the low 10s.

This is a page directly from the Bolshevik play book.

"The whole system of oppression ... was based on keeping malcontents apart, preventing them from reading each other's eyes and discovering how many of them there were; instilling it into all of them, even into the most dissatisfied, that no one was dissatisfied except for a few doomed individuals, blindly vicious and spiritually bankrupt." ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

Can people do a work around and just post the word 'dislike' under a video? Then change the magic word when the word is banned?

Yes, until comments are disabled.

There is an account now called "The Dislike Button" who comments on videos with "Just doing my job."

Good point. I like how you think.

That's why sit-coms had the "live studio audience" that clapped, groaned, booed etc on que to tell the goyim at home what to think about what was going on during the show.

More recently they've moved that live studio audience into news discussion shows like The View, so people at home know exactly what opinions to have.

Doesn't matter, when you share videos on forums like this, facebook, etc people show much they hate it anyway. It's a bandaid on a bullet wound of legitimacy.
