I'm thinking of starting a petition.

Poll - Total Votes: 10

Great Idea!

Terrible Idea!

Meh...

You can only vote on one answer.

For a long time now YouTube has had an upvote thumb, and (although recently made almost useless) a downvote thumb.

I would like to start a movement to attempt to convince YouTube to introduce the 'MEH' thumb to indicate apathy towards a subject or video.

I don't particularly like it, nor do I really hate it, I'm just kind of indifferent but I'm at least acknowledging I watched it.

For example.

YouTube - "Watch the trailer for the newest blockbuster Star Wars film!!!"

Me - "Frankly I'm done caring" (votes 'meh')

Who is with me?! 😃🥳

{@whodunnit]😄you tube should introduce a one or two finger gesture to show disapproval of an item you do not like . 😄one finger means you do not like it all that much . a two finger gesture means you absolutely hate it 😄 a double two finger gesture means get the f@@king thing removed now you tube😄

@smiler2012 I keep this as Plan B in case I have to negotiate ☺️

@smiler2012 I can think of a one-finger gesture that sums up what YouTube has been doing lately.

In our place , I get 5 likes on my comment , but when I open to see the likes in my comment , I find that I have 0 likes .

The politicians run youtube , and they see that I had said something which displeases them , so youtube makes the 5 likes on my comment to 0 likes .

They can even change or delete comments on youtube , or decrease number of likes or dislikes in a video .

Could be a good idea... or maybe use a 5 star rating system

There's already a feature to hide stuff you don't care about to influence the algorithm, but it could be a lot more obvious with the meh button haha

I mean, I'll sign it. I'm still mad about the fact that the thumbs down button is now useless. They don't tell you how many people have disliked a video, because they're scared that will make people not want to watch it. But isn't that the point of giving something a thumbs down?

@LordShadowfire Though they claimed it was to protect smaller channels we all know it was to prevent negative feedback for multi-national media corporations.

@Whodunnit Everything those bastards do is to protect multinational media corporations. They deleted a fair use video I made. It was an animation set to the tune of the Beatles' "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". I spent at least as much time animating it as the Beatles spent rehearsing and recording the song. Did the record company care? Did YouTube care? Nope. Down it went.
