Why it worked

The video taps into a widely held frustration among YouTube users regarding a controversial platform change, using clear, relatable examples to validate the audience's skepticism.

Summary

The creator argues that YouTube's removal of the dislike button was a mistake that makes it harder for users to identify scams and low-quality content. They use examples of fake jailbreak tutorials and investment videos to illustrate how the lack of public dislike counts can mislead viewers.

Transcript

YouTube may have made the biggest mistake in their entire history. You probably know YouTube as an absolute godsend if you're going to do anything on your own. The ability to find walkthrough tutorials of basically anything has allowed YouTube to grow tremendously. But you may know that recently, YouTube removed the dislike. And while YouTube said it was for creators' mental health and whatnot, that is just a complete and utter lie. If it was for creators' mental health, they wouldn't be able to see the number of dislikes on their video when they check the analytics. But that's neither here nor there. This is why it was the worst decision they've ever made. Currently, there's no jailbreak for iOS 15, but if I look up how to jailbreak iOS 15, this is one of the first videos that shows up. It has 5.8k likes, and the top comments all say that it's great. However, this video is more than likely a scam. But I would have no way of knowing, as a creator is at liberty to delete any negative comments, and there's no other way of telling whether a video is legitimate or not. And when you have videos about things like investing, dislikes are a must.
