Yesterday, I suddenly noticed that the "Return Youtube Dislike" extension wasn't working, as in, I wasn't seeing any dislikes. Is Youtube the cause of this? or this is just some random bug?

Why the fuck are there people still using YouTube? They rip off content creators and treat their user base like shit- and yet, everyone still flocks to use their services.
In a more intelligent world- YouTube wouldn’t even exist anymore.
Because it's entrenched, and any other platform that can provide the reasons YouTube got popular (PeerTube cannot) would run into the same issues eventually. Most of the best YouTube content nowadays is by people who rely on it as at least a secondary income, so it provides no real benefit for creators to post content elsewhere.
People could just…. not go to YouTube. There’s little there that’s necessary to watch. What’s wrong here is that people put their indulgences ahead of their hypocrisy.
YouTube is a monopoly and there are so many talented content creators on there, even for niche interests. What are you talking about? And what the fuck does "necessary to watch" mean? I want to watch what's fun and interests me and that's all on YouTube.
And if you’re one of the millions of people that constantly bitch about YouTube’s standards and practices, you’re a hypocrite along with the rest of them. If not, then I’m not talking about you.
