Closing a video vs disliking a video

So say you're watching a YouTube video and you're in that crucial period where you're making your mind up about whether you like it or not...what is the thing that makes you go: "Ugh, no" and click that lovely little X button in the top right hand corner? And, what is the thing that ticks you off so much you have to dislike?

For me I tend to close videos that are awkward, that have a lot of "umms" and "ahhs" in them. The ones that are poorly edited, take forever to get to the point expressed in the title, or are just awful quality. Also something I've come across lately are videos where there's a lot of screaming for no reason . Not loud talking/shouting - actual screaming...I can't deal with that.

What makes me DISLIKE a video is bitchiness towards other YouTubers. Especially famous ones. Fair enough if you have a general reason for disliking them but for me if you're just gonna b***h about how "Jenna Marbles doesn't really do anything" or how "the RoosterTeeth guys are douchebags" then I'm just like "people like them for their personalities, fair enough if you don't 'get it' but that's no need to be super bitter just because you're not as famous and if you honestly can't understand that's why they have so many views then you're an idiot."

Just my personal opinion, other than that I'll see anything through hehe.

What about you guys?
 
I almost never dislike a video. Unless there was something I actually found really offensive or plain wrong, I'll just leave the video. Other than that, I just leave a video if I'm getting bored of it. If it's entertaining, obviously I'll stay watching, but if for whatever reason it just doesn't hold my attention, then I'm going to click off and watch something else.
 
I virtually never dislike, unless it's a joke thing like when the likes and dislikes are exactly equal and people are trying to keep it equal. Normally if I think a video is bad, I just close it. For the most part, I see no utility in disliking a video, other than to give a preverbial 'f**k you' to the uploader.
 
I almost never dislike a video unless the person is being offensive or a troll. If I do dislike I a video, I almost always leave a comment saying why.
 
I never dislike videos because I don't see the point of it. And I feel like it's some form of cyberbullying in a way as well.
