What's your opinion on YouTube removing the “dislike” ? Do you think Hive would do something similar ?

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I'm trying to rebuild my old Hive habits with some Twists and improvements. So today will be 3rd consecutive day of me creating content with LeoFinance while keep engaging with our community. Creating daily is a healthy habit. Reading daily is keystone habit of a successful investor.

I'm trying to invest majority of my time here on Hive (Web3) while I spending some of my time in Web2 (Reddit, YouTube and Twitter) to steal ideas for content creation.

I found this post on Reddit today. First thing that came to mind is that our Hive network actually empowering small content creators in many ways. Why does anyone wants to invest their time and energy on a platform that filled with censorship and have the power to discriminate small content creators ?. We all know how many people got their YouTube channel suspended.

Not your keys.
Not your platform.
Not your followers.

YouTube (All Web2 platforms) has the power to take away all your social capital without your permission.

As you can see in the below screenshot, the dislike count number is not visible. I feel they just need got rid of dislikes entirely unless someone comment.

I learned that even though dislike numbers are not visible and having a dislike button allows youtube to disincentivize contents that received large numbers of dislikes.

We're making the dislike counts private across YouTube, but the dislike button is not going away. This change will start gradually rolling out today.

We want to create an inclusive and respectful environment where creators have the opportunity to succeed and feel safe to express themselves.

So relating this to Hive, Our global community members have had lots of disagreements and ongoing discussions on whales downvoting certain content and certain content creators. Luckily I hardly ever received any downvotes on Hive.

I can imagine some positive improvements relating Hive downvotes feature some time very soon. I personally would love to see that downvotes only affect the reputation score, not the rewards.

Relating to comments on Hive, I received lots of automated comments on posts and that's visible for others but not for me because I have the option to mute accounts. Also If the reputation score is too low then comments get automatically get hidden.

Also don't forget our 3Speak.Tv the home of free speech. I'm aiming can create five Vlogs per week with 3Speak from today.

Thank you for reading and I appreciate your upvotes & comments. I feel blessed to be part of our global Hive community.
