What a discovery. I feel a bit intrusive getting to experience it. I hope her communication succeeds.


~1 kiloviews now with 152:3 thumbs ratio, why would someone dislike this!?


I don't think I've ever seen a video with over 100 upvotes that didn't have any downvotes. That's just YouTube.


Clearly the OP knows this and is making a joke by adding a quintessential YouTube comment.


"Three people who *didn't make it off the streets disliked!!"


I found some obscure music video that had like ~200 likes with no downvotes but it didn't lasted long... not idea if it's bots that downvote stuff or just weird people (hate the word "haters" but that's what I mean)


Perhaps YouTube applies vote fuzzing similar to Reddit.


What's vote fuzzing?


It's when you change upvotes and downvotes so that the ration stays similar, but now you can't consistently find if your downvoting bot had any effect.


Why on earth would that be something a platform does?


>> but now you can't consistently find if your downvoting bot had any effect.

I'd say that's why. To deter dislike bots


I think some bots randomly upvote/downvote in an attempt to appear human.


Have you never been on youtube before? If you don't get the down votes don't read the comments.


Currently all the comments on the video are wholesome


I was thinking youtube comments in general rather than this particular video.

Nice to see you completely ignored my advice though :P


Who of us has never clicked the wrong button? Touch UI interfaces make it even easier
