Because the tube is all about watchtime and engagement. Engagement includes any interaction with the video, such as comments and downvotes.
The wild part is, at least on tiktok, downvoting or selecting “not interested” seems to give me MORE of that content. It’s as if leaving the video on your screen for longer is giving that video more points in the algo than your expressed disinterest. What works better (on tiktok) is to scroll away with the minimum amount of time spent looking at the video.
Makes me appreciate when there’s a big message in the first second that says “wait until the end!” I swipe so fast when I see that. Otherwise I might have to wait to hear what they’re doing in this video, which would boost them in the algorithm.

I’d also add DeArrow to remove clickbait thumbnails and titles, and Untrap to completely modify nearly everything, such as removing (hiding, really) shorts, like count, view count, comments altogether, even hiding the subscribe button among many other options.
Depending on your browser, you can look for a “bring back the dislikes” extension. There are usually a few.
Really the only way to make an impact on a video you dislike is to watch as little as possible and do not interact at all. Leave no comment or like/dislike.
Which really sucks, because information like # of dislikes and informative comments are the only real way to determine if the content is worth the time.
At least on youtube you can skip ahead. But whenever i see these caption or those very obnoxiously descriptive short, i’ll hit downvote and content like these won’t shows up as much.
The short video version of “you gotta watch this show I love. Just suffer through the first 12 seasons and it gets SO GOOD!”
“Read that again”
Fuck you, I wish I could unread it from the first time.
It’s as if their incentives (increased view time) drive behavior
If they could spell it correctly, it’d be better.
I get very little of this since i disabled youtube history
nobody:
absolutely nobody:
Always has been. 🔫
Op also used those words so should we down vote them?
