[04:55 - 05:02]YouTube announced a potential update to remove the dislike button

[05:02 - 05:12]This has sparked negative reactions from creators and viewers

[05:36 - 05:43]Some argue that the dislike button is useful for judging a video's quality or legitimacy

[05:50 - 06:10]Others point out that removing the dislike button could lead to more scam or clickbait content

[05:50 - 06:10]Many creators did not ask for the dislike button to be removed

[05:50 - 06:10]Removing the dislike button would also make it harder to gauge audience feedback

[06:21 - 06:26]The dislike button is often used as a form of protest or criticism by viewers

[06:26 - 06:43]YouTube has a history of implementing unpopular changes and backpedaling later

[06:44 - 06:49]The dislike button is especially useful for tutorial videos and software downloads

[00:00 - 07:01]The potential removal of the dislike button has sparked discussions about the influence of YouTube and its impact on content creators and viewers

[07:01 - 07:13] YouTube tutorial videos are found to be more useful than just googling and going into specific Microsoft forums from several years ago.

[07:13 - 07:23]Microsoft forums often have outdated information and no replies or provide unhelpful suggestions.

[07:36 - 07:55]YouTube tutorials allow for a better search experience and often have a positive like to dislike ratio, indicating a successful fix.

[08:05 - 08:13]Changes made by YouTube often receive backlash and criticism, but eventually become accepted and beneficial.

[08:20 - 08:42]Changes such as moving the comments section have streamlined the viewing experience.

[10:18 - 10:29]YouTube apologies are often judged based on the like to dislike ratio, and removing dislikes may affect this.

[13:13 - 13:24]Removing the dislike button may lead to more negative comments and backlash.

[13:13 - 13:24]Creators can delete negative comments, but cannot get rid of dislikes.

[07:01 - 13:45]YouTube tutorial videos are found to be more useful than outdated Microsoft forums. Changes made by YouTube often receive backlash but eventually become beneficial. The removal of the dislike button may lead to more negative comments, and creators can still see the number of dislikes.

[13:45 - 13:54] Instagram removed publicly showing number of likes on posts

[17:22 - 17:33]Instagram was highly competitive and toxic with likes

[17:34 - 17:39]Creator can still see number of likes on their posts

[17:57 - 18:09]Some creators not affected because they are not part of that culture

[18:43 - 18:51]Debate over whether this change is good or not

[18:43 - 18:51]Removal of dislike button may not get rid of toxicity, just shift it to another form

[18:43 - 18:51]Removal of dislike button may not get rid of negativity on YouTube, just make it harder to find and report

[19:03 - 19:08]YouTube recently removed the dislike button

[19:09 - 19:26]YouTube may be trying to cover up issues instead of addressing them

[19:26 - 19:58]Discussion over whether this is censorship or not

[19:26 - 19:58]Similar situation with turning off comments on kids' videos to avoid pedophiles

[20:15 - 20:22]There are likely many controversial and inappropriate videos on YouTube that people are not aware of

[20:22 - 20:30]Normal people may not be able to easily report these videos without the public comments and dislikes to help identify them

[13:45 - 20:48]Overall, YouTube's changes may not effectively address the issues at hand.

[24:25 - 24:33]The speaker discusses the recent changes to the YouTube platform, specifically the removal of the dislike button.

[24:38 - 24:48]They feel that this change is going in the wrong direction and will not solve any existing problems.

[26:07 - 26:12]They express frustration with the inconsistency in demonetization of videos, using their own podcast as an example.

[26:39 - 26:48]The speaker also mentions positive changes made by YouTube, such as improvements to the copyright system.

[26:39 - 26:48]The speaker also notes the recent increase in quality of YouTube comments.

[26:39 - 26:48]Overall, the speaker believes that YouTube was in a healthy state before these recent changes and that the changes are unnecessary and may do more harm than good.

[27:34 - 27:45]They speculate that this may be due to a pressure to stand out in a sea of comments.

[27:46 - 27:53]The removal of the dislike button may also lead to more toxicity and negativity on the platform.

[20:48 - 27:58]In summary, the speaker discusses the recent changes to YouTube, both positive and negative, and expresses frustration with the removal of the dislike button and inconsistency in demonetization. They also note an increase in the quality of YouTube comments.

[27:59 - 28:05]Governments are using increased surveillance and tracking on devices

[32:37 - 32:43]Ratioing YouTube on Twitter can sometimes get a response

[32:49 - 33:03]Knowing a YouTube employee can help get issues resolved

[34:17 - 34:23]One feature on YouTube that should be removed is the video ranking system

[27:59 - 34:34]Governments are tracking devices, ExpressVPN can help, incognito mode is not foolproof, YouTube's communication and customer support is lacking, knowing a YouTube employee can help, and the video ranking system should be removed.

[34:34 - 34:39] The speaker is indifferent towards the ranking system on YouTube and believes it depends on the quality of the video.

[35:56 - 36:01]The speaker has mixed feelings about the ranking system, finding it both helpful and frustrating.

[37:02 - 37:11]The speaker shares a tactic of purposely making a "bad" video to reset expectations and avoid disappointment.

[39:01 - 39:12]They acknowledge the emotional attachment to views and numbers on YouTube.

[40:21 - 40:27]The speaker believes there is an acceptable amount of "failure" in terms of rankings.

[40:51 - 41:01]They mention the long-term performance of videos and how some may become popular despite starting off with a low ranking.

[34:34 - 41:01]Overall, the speaker believes the ranking system is fine where it is and serves as a way to digest data in a quick and easy manner.

[41:01 - 41:08]The importance of short term performance on YouTube is emphasized

[41:08 - 41:22]Long term performance and personal satisfaction as a content creator is disregarded

[42:07 - 42:21]The pressure to constantly produce successful content takes a toll on mental health

[44:59 - 45:06]The algorithm is unpredictable and can have a negative impact on creators

[45:36 - 45:44]The "proving grounds" of 100k-500k subscribers are the most challenging

[46:13 - 46:20]Once a creator reaches a certain level of success, they can predict how to continue growing

[41:01 - 47:39]Personal satisfaction and creating good content should be the focus, rather than constant growth and success.

[47:39 - 47:44] To reach a large audience on YouTube, one must consistently create engaging content.

[47:45 - 47:51]With experience, creating content becomes easier and less effort is required.

[48:47 - 48:52]The platform and audience have changed since the creators first began growing their channels.

[49:41 - 49:47]The subreddit for their podcast has become a community with its own inside jokes and lore.

[49:41 - 49:47]The subreddit includes posts about more than just the podcast episodes.

[50:38 - 50:43]Viewers are now actively interested in the creators' content, unlike when they first started out.
