And you need to understand that what happened with your content is not universal and you're not the only one in there.

I was attacked by trolled who used dislike bots on my video, I see a lot of great comments on them coming from newer audience, but the video still got around 80 dislikes via bots. Is it because my video was terrible? Nope. I made my fare share of terrible video, I know when I do something good and when I suck , but when you got a full dislike bar even on popular videos (via comments later on) and then the guy who sells bot emails you saying he is snitching on the guy who payed them because he didn't pay that well, what do you do? Do you reconsider your talent? No, you come to the only good conclusion -> If the dislike system is that easy to game and take advantage of, it doesn't mean anything to keep it on the site and must be replaced by a system that is harder/impossible to game.

If you're being attacked by bots, you're just unlucky. Ive been on YouTube since 2006, and I have literally never seen a video that was legitimately good that was rated overwhelmingly poorly. That situation is clearly an exception to how things usually work. Botting views, for example, is a huge problem on YouTube, and they've been working pretty hard for the past few years to stop it, and they've done a decent job. Botting dislikes is NOT a huge problem on YouTube. It happens every now and then to unlucky people. Popular YouTubers would be targeted way more by this if it were something that people actually did a lot. We're not going to remove a useful feature just because you got trolled one day.
 
Yeah I don't think you can take away people's right to give feedback just because it's negative. Although I may be in favour of a more complex rating system like a scale of 1-10.
 
when a "friend" got annoyed with me sending game request on fb by accident, he disliked all of my videos up to date which is really annoying cus it makes me sad :( the funniest is the one with the most dislike but also most liked but it has more dislikes because there are 2 people who went through the vids and disliked them all :(
 
Opposed to what you all say, I wanted to make all my videos thumbs downed I love hate. Therefore, do not destroy it pl0x.
 
I agree with all of your arguments, however I believe the dislike rate needs to be kept since there are a lot of videos with misleading thumbnails or titles, and videos that are just copies of ones made by other popular youtubers. Although yes, it is sometimes abused and people enjoy clicking it quite often in a lot of cases, I believe it's important. My frustration would simply be too much to contain if I couldn't dislike Hot Problems.

How can this not be fixed by flagging the video?
