Dislikes need to be overhauled on YouTube.

Dislikes need to be overhauled on YouTube.

The dislike button on a comment does nothing (nothing that most users know about anyway) part from turning the dislike button blue. This means that effectively to dislike a comment you just have to make sure other comments have more likes. I don't understand why the dislike functionality was removed on comments in the first place. If it was to stop bullying then all it's done is given trolls a convenience free platform.

There's been talk of removing dislikes from videos as well, meaning that users have no way of looking at the quality of a video other than the amount of people who liked it, which isn't an active metric because not everyone who watches a video will like it anyway.
