People need to come to a realization.

I don't even pay much attention to dislikes (or likes, for that matter...). Someone hitting a button to indicate they didn't like my video doesn't hurt me. I make videos because it's fun and it's a good way to make friends. If other people have a problem with me or my videos.... they better just suck it up because I don't care! :bounce:
 
It seems to make more of a difference because most people on here have small audiences to begin with. I can sympathize when you'd upload a new video and there would already be a dislike on it.

Could not agree more, it would be nice for the people who leave a dislike to comment what they particularly disliked about the video so the person can improve upon it, but it does help.

True but people are often lazy. Same also sometimes goes for likes. One could leave a comment what exactly they liked. Some do, but sometimes there are a lot of likes and not many comments.[DOUBLEPOST=1389082493,1389082232][/DOUBLEPOST]

And I'd say there is a lot of "doing it right" in this attitude. You just can't please everyone and on your journey you'll gather likes and dislikes. I mean... Skrillex probably got (and still gets) a lot of "dislikes" (metaphorically speaking) but I bet he doesn't think about them when playing at a sold out arena. Wub Wub!
 
Wouldn't it be better if youtube just delete the dislike-thumb.
So if people dislike a video they have to tell it in a comment or they just leave.

If they just leave without any comment the creator of the video isn't left puzzled about that dislike-thumb.
 
Well, for me..I try to take every dislike with a grain of truth to them..perhaps there was something I could improve upon? Perhaps not..like you said, not everyone is going to like your material! But try to see if there is something to fix that may turn their dislike into a like!:happy2:

why? in all fairness, the dislike thumb is almost just as important to me as the like button is. sometimes people don't like you without proper explanation.
 
I agree, but really if people want to concentrate on something go for the ratio. So 5 likes to 1 dislike is good. 100 to 10 is good. That ratio is what YouTube looks at for ranking, and also totals of likes/dislikes.
I get dislikes on almost every video. It's just impossible to make everyone happy.
 
Well, some funny person out there decided to dislike the shiiiiz out of my recent video, to the point where there is more dislikes than likes...guess what? I DON'T CARE! :O such shock, very troll wow x3
