“yea cos every vibe is a bad vibe! you can't even delete the Shorts playlist youtube adds to your account. I appreciate that you can quickly save by clicking the icon, but defaulting to a playlist you didnt add /want /cannot delete is beyond moronic.”

“So few months ago (or just weeks) youtube removed dislikes, and seems like they're bringing it back? Don't know if it's just me or some random addon i have installed does that so here to ask y'all if you got dislikes back too. submitted by /u/blind__hunter [link] [comments]”
“Well, of course. After everyone one stopped useing their phones... See how stupid that sounds? EVERYONES views are down, one of my channels went from geting 79 views a day to 0, over night, on the 31st of last month and I've not had one single channel view, the vids say they have.... somehow my vids are being watched off channel?”
“The only temporary way to bring it back is by watching it like you would watch a long-form video by replacing “shorts” in the URL with “watch”. Oh, and there’s a removed comment that nobody can see.”

“I will never understand why youtube or Google would remove ability to dislike, doesn't having dislike means you can tune user preferences on a higher level? Doesn't that help you push ads with better personalization?”
