**A reminder from the mods:** Our rules recently changed. Posts should be as descriptive and factual as reasonably possible. Avoid the excessive use of emojis, punctuation, capitalization, and overly sensationalized/clickbait/opinionated titles. They should also include a tldr or tldw explaining why the post is relevant or the background to the post for updates.

Also, if I don’t like a video, I’ll stop watching it at the point I realise I don’t like it. So it won’t have the engagement of a full watch typically. I just find it interesting that it’s not super clear on YouTube how engagement works.
On Instagram there are infographics highlighting how much each thing benefits a creator (saving a post vs just hearting it etc).
If you do like the person, thumbs down just means you don't want to see that kind of content from them. I remember that a thumbs down is still engagement for their channel.
So if you don't like the video and the person/channel, best to just click off and not interact at all.
I think YouTube weights the interaction based on their algorithm, from what I've heard. I think they're trying to discourage people downvoting by hiding the downvote count, so I'd imagine it doesn't weigh much in the calculation.

It does nothing. Some of my most thumbs down videos had the most views 🤷♀️
