Dislike Botted

Also if it bothers you having all those dislikes, you can hide likes and dislikes from your viewers, so only you can see them, as sometimes people get encouraged to dislike even more if they see loads, or it can put someone off watching if they have loads of dislikes, as they may think its bad or offensive even if its not
 
Hey friends, I'm back from the darkness or wherever I've been and todays topic sucks but I need somewhere to talk about it.

There is a guy who sent me a messaged at 1am one morning just saying "hi" and I'm fairly certain I read it and fell asleep, i didn't know him, he wasn't like a regular commenter or person on my twitter so it didn't seem important.
The next day however, he sends me a message saying he will dislike bot me and when I said go on do it, he said he'd hack my YouTube so I felt obligated to talk to this guy, its what he wanted so he wouldn't do the things to my account.
He messages for a couple of days and then he stops, I think nothing of it and continue my life.

Last night, I uploaded my first video in over a month, I was pleased with it and myself then suddenly all these dislikes start rolling in. He leaves a comment to the effect of "you wouldn't talk to me" and on another account "sorry for all these dislikes but i had too" or something.
So i hop on over to twitter to message this guy who I know is behind it and he basically says I should start messaging him first, I ~have~ to be his friend or he'll keep doing this stuff to me.
SO I blocked him on everything I can find, I reported his messages, comments, accounts and then I outed him to my Twitter followers. He started telling them they didn't have "the whole story" so I screenshotted some messages to really round out my point.
He has now started dislike botting my friends and saying to all of us that every future video will be disliked the same. He told Lydia that he'd undo it if I unblocked him and talked to him which I am not doing because he makes my skin crawl.

Do you guys have any other advice on what to do? Clearly we can't get rid of any of the dislikes and whilst I'm not turning the liking system off, Tori has.

Edit: he seems to be under the impression that YouTubers owe him something or he has to right to mess with us which is awful :(
I really can't stand people like that, YouTube support is your best option
 
Oh no, where do they get so much of energy from, how many times will he dislike your videos? One day he will get tired of doing this sh*t. I would say IGNORE his activities, you keep on making your videos.
He will get eventually tired. But if the program is well written. He could just set up that for every upload there will be 30 dislikes. And he doesn't even have to touch anything.
