    YouTube seems more interested these days in telling you what to watch, then letting its user express any opinion, wouldn’t be surprised if comments were hidden next from everybody.

    The dislikes were hidden specifically to protect the images of brands. Think of things like game trailers or movie trailers that would get overloaded with dislikes if people perceived them as bad. I don’t think Disney really pays attention to their dislikes. They and other companies prefer them to be hidden however, so that when Nintnedo pulls another super Mario Wonder for $70 that the haters feel alone about it.

      YouTube is so fucking weird. If they would’ve focused on a good platform 5 or 10 years ago, they would be the netflix, hbo and amaxon combined. Vut somehow they are more concerned to tell people what they can do and don’t. For some reason all of YouTube has to be suited for 5 year olds. Their algorithm keep telling me to watch mr.beast or some assholes who eat food for 5 people like a bunch of animals.

        I have a theory, that some of the things they do is blackmailing to prevent companies from pushing for the copyright directive that the eu got, in the u.s is it far fetched?

      I distinctly remember Activision running to hide the dislike from some World of Warcraft videos, what with how shit Shadowlands got, especially towards the end. I don’t remember the exact video, but it had something like a 84% dislike

        The World of Warcraft videos and not the Call of Duty ones? Which makes me wonder, might Activision have the most videos with the most dislikes on YouTube?

      1. Mario brothers wonder is not $70, it’s $60, the standard price for such a game, since, what, 1990?
      2. you seem to be implying the game is universally considered bad. I find it to be very fun and haven’t heard the opinion that it’s bad.

        If you specifically look for bad reviews, because you have to do that on youtube now adays… because they like protcting corperations, you’l find that it’s essentially the same as new super mario bros wii, and U, but with a different coat of paint. plus it’s a 2d game for $60, but they arent going to out right tell you that.

          I have played it several hours and this is not accurate. despite it being a reasonable expectation that Mario games don’t change much, it’s changed from those previous games.

          It is a Nintendo game for $60 which is standard.

            They might had added some new features, but the game hasn’t really evolved. While $60 may be standard, what are we paying 60 dollars for with this new game? oh they finally decided to put some decent colors in a mainstream 2d Mario game since the SNES Super Mario World and they added powerups. But it’s a 2-D game anything could probably run Mario Wonder, the Wii U could probably run that game. The Wii (although not in HD) could probally even. A better example for my original statement I suppose would be the recent released cod game. Since people are more vocal about that game being a downgrade.
