@@mrshmuga9 That's not to say the old days of KZread were all roses, but I definitely recall people having a "thicker skin", for lack of a better term. More people were willing to call out the bullshit and be honest. The only downside back then was the lack of resources and technology, since videos back in 2007 - 2008 were restricted to 240p resolution. Nowadays, every other KZreadr is posting their videos in 4K resolution. I don't have a problem with that, but they are catering entirely to the KZread algorithm. It's all a business instead of a passion like it was in the old days. People who try to criticize and call out on certain things end up getting blacklisted. I've seen this first hand with many good KZreadrs. They end up leaving the platform. It's truly heartbreaking to see where KZread has gone over the last decade. I've had this account since March of 2007, so I have seen all the changes this website has gone thru over the years. People who disagree with you now view you as an extremist, while they themselves are extremist in the way that they shove their opinions down on everyone else. Everything now is all or nothing, you can't be in the middle anymore.

People think it's just nostalgia talking, but it's true that times were different. I was born in 1990. When I was in middle school I made video projects with my friends at school and eventually put them on KZread. Receiving honest feedback is so important and sometimes only strangers are willing to do that. People say that the slippery slope is a fallacy, but I've watched censorship get more and more shameless and blatant to the point that they're actually proud of it. Freedom of speech wasn't a meme. Private companies even respected it. The backlash they would've faced 10 years ago if they had made all these changes at once would've been incredible. First they censored extreme videos like Nazi propaganda (actual Nazi propaganda), then alt right and conspiracy videos but back then we thought everyone deserves a voice as long as they didn't make direct threats or directly call for violence, this is how you filter out bad ideas... then they added the banners that step in and "correct" videos, then they started mass censoring even more videos, not even alt right, then they altered search results so instead of the most relevant videos on a politically charged topic you got results from corporate media outlets first, and they altered search suggestions and recommended videos to "prevent extremism", there were mass coordinated purges of entire networks of channels all at once. This happened multiple times, then they built a comment censor algorithm so you don't even know what you can or cannot say. Now they removed one of the last ways that we can show discontent and see what others are thinking about a topic. I don't know if there is a more insidious evil than censorship veiled behind kindness. Truth is vastly more important.

Rockstar probably slipped a 20 under the table to Google.

They are not doing this to support small creators at all. Nick Rekeita's live coverage of the Rittenhouse trial had 70,000 live viewers and you could not find the stream when searching for it on KZread. The only results you could see were streams from major MSM sources. These streams had AT MOST half the viewers of Nick's. This was 100% algorithmic suppression and KZread will always shit on independent creators to the benefit of corporations.

I'd rather they go back to the 5 star system. It was way better like that.

Because they have those people.

It has nothing to do with content creators and everything to do with huge companies loosing face when their promo videos get massively disliked. The fact that they are only allowing positive public feedback by leaving only the like counter proves this.

When the average person sees a propaganda video with mass dislikes, it may sway their perspective of it. This is the main reason for this. Protecting corporations is secondary.

"We must disable all means of visible dissent for the masses. No comment sections, no dislikes, no organic feeds, no independent sources."

So we are allowed to like videos but not to dislike them. Great. 2021 and this glass generation in a nutshell.

I've noticed a handful of really good KZreadrs become a different channel, or they change their brand of comedy, or almost their whole personality just because it's not appropriate for KZread. I miss when creativity was the actual forefront of KZreads motivations. Now it's all about them dollars.

On a side note you're continuing to allow KZread to get away with this by continually using their platform. If there was a mass exodus of creators like they think they want then they'll realize that corpos aren't going to bring in views and no views means no revenue.

Would be cool to see all youtubers big and small just migrate to another platform in solidarity. It would be the only way to fix things but many at the top are complacent with what they already have here and don't want to take a loss, this mindset then trickles down.

KZread 2021: death by a 1,000 Corpos

The world is full of soft ppl I feel bad for future gens.

I wonder who is going to be the 1st person who falls victim to a scam because the dislikes are gone.

Looks like one too many White House videos got ratio'd 🤡🌏

Yeah, I've been watching stuff on youtube since the site opened and 100% concur it has gone into the toilet of corporatization.

I disliked this video in honor of the dislike counter.

WokeTube is a publisher but has the legal rights of a platform.

Just adding my two cents about using the comment section. As a "power user" of youtube, I basically use this platform like stackoverflow and pluralsight, meaning mostly educational videos and tutorials. The like / dislike ratio is a critical feature to me because my most valuable asset is TIME, so I need to quickly decide if a video is worth my time or not. If I can't see dislikes, the only other option is the comment section. Now, that is a problem, because the algorithm will list top comments BASED ON YOUR PREFERENCE, and also, content creators can delete or keep any comments in review indefinitely anyway. Which bring me to my point: KZread is now television. Everything is controlled by corporations and the government, there is no feedback, no backlash for any companies trying to sell shitty products or disinformation. If you can read my comment, consider yourself luky. The algorithm decided that you and I are like-minded. Others probably won't ever this.. If you think I'm crazy, check one of your favorite videos' top comments. Now check it on your girlfriend's phone.

Based on when you made your KZread account (January 2007), I say you've pretty much seen everything at this point. KZread is what cable television was back in the late 2000s, early 2010s. Many of us fled to KZread after cable went down the tubes. Very sad that it has now become this. This platform back in 2007 - 2008 was good for a reason. Nowadays those old videos where people had a bit more freedom to express themselves would probably get removed or censored to oblivion if they were to make that kind of content today.
