YouTube Question So I posted a new video and noticed something...

That after about 30 seconds, the video got a dislike. (on a 30-minute video). Fair enough, but I wonder if there are people whose sole purpose in life is to hit the dislike button and have satisfaction with that.

We have live streams on the TB channel, and before the stream is live we'll have 20 - 30 dislikes, some people will sadly dislike before ever seeing anything :/

The good thing is that it doesn't phase me. I will take note if there are a very large amount of dislikes but it won't change my focus at all

As you should! The only thing we can control is the content we create, and the effort we put in on the back end of YT to get them seen

I heard (maybe a rumor), that likes and dislikes don't matter, that youtube sees it just as activity/engagement on your video. Maybe someone can tell me if this is true or not...if it is, bring on the haters lol

As the old Facebook Movie poster said "You don't get millions of fans, without making a few enemies" and some people will just naturally not like your content. Some will sit waiting to hate watch. At the end of the day though, it's engagement.

There's also dislike bombers where people (weather maliciously intended, or just practicing because they're bored) send dislikes on mass, either to their competition, or just because they're bored and want to test out bots.

I don't really mind dislikes. It always happens, and it's engagement at the end of the day

I heard the same thing. Any interaction is good interaction. There are trolls under every bridge. Pay them no mind.

 

[Mario So]

I agree. There will always be people like that. Just focus on your content and do your thing!

Don't take it in your mind, take it easy bro¬

Sadly, the same seems to be true for negative comments. Some people just want to comment negatively (and many times with no relevance to the video's content) no matter what. I've learned to just ignore it.
