Dislike Madness!

[Secret Peters]

Ya people are very rude like that, it could be a competitor, or anyone really. Like everyone else said if you never get dislikes then its probably a 1 time thing, keep doing what your doing and it will most likely go away. I've only got maybe 3 dislikes and like 100+ likes so ya I think its just someone being a snob

That is most likely the case. Sounds like something someone would dislike-spam for.

This guy is known for stuff like this. In Elementary school he would do stuff out of spite or for no reason at all so it wouldn't surprise me.

Reason depends on the other stats. If you got a reasonable spike in views together with dislikes, your video might've been trash talked by someone with many followers, or featured on any site that featured bad content such as Reddit.com/r/cringe, as I've seen some other forum users comment about. If no view spike follows, then it's either a group of people deciding to dislike it together, or a single person who either takes use of multiple accounts or bots to bombard you with dislikes.

• The people that had already watched the video disliked it and it took a while for youtube's monkeys to catch up with it.
• ^ People didn't like you videos
• Disliked bots

Just ignore it, it doesn't effect the video.

It was me, I'm jealous of your videos.

My latest video has more ratings than views XD It had 17 views, 9 likes, and 0 dislikes. Now it had 19 views, 9 likes, and 15 dislikes. That's not even possible

Not sure why people would dislike your videos. I saw your shiny pokemon video and I liked it (literally)

Thanks for that, and I've been suspecting bots for a month now. It's not possible for 24 ratings and 19 views. What other explanation is there other than bots?

So lately I've been getting a bunch of dislikes all at once. Today, I caught it before it started. I saw 1 dislike on my newest video, refreshed the page, and found 5 without the views going up. Then I decided to track it by getting screenshots of it. Take a look at this:

So this is when I got the first shot.

Refresh the page to see this.

It goes on and on from here.

Then I decided to post this story on here, and now it looks like this.

Any ideas of what's going on? This isn't something that is urgent, but I kind of want to know.

Could it be someone put it on reddit? Last week I had this video that was 5 months old and was dead at 101 likes and 1 dislike and the next day was at 105 likes 55 dislikes. I freaked out all day until analytics came in and I found the views coming from reddit.
