![]() ![]() I generally try to be a very positive person and understanding of differences but this video stood out to me as something so entirely negative that it was worth a down voted. Today I actually down voted something for the first time in my life. And I guess that’s one way to know you’ve made it? Maybe? □ Reply I figure those people just have ‘haters’. There are some people who seem to post a video and there’s just an immediate Thumbs Down. Maybe some of them are just ‘fat fingering’ the rating because they’re close. I think it helps that I’m realistic in my assessment of my own ability. Or if some organized protest or another decided someone did something awful, you’d see them get flooded with Thumbs Downs. ![]() You’d see those videos get flooded with Thumbs Down. If a publisher did something heinous like ridiculous crunch or firing someone who left work during crunch to attend the birth of their child. I started watching YouTube as a consumer of video games. A sort of ‘middle finger’ to this creator you don’t like. I always associated it with a means by which of ‘sticking it to’ the creator of the video. You know, I don’t think I’ve ever hit the Thumbs Down button ever. I don’t think I ever thumbed-down a rules video, but if it contains major errors (or falls into one of the mentioned categories), I could imagine doing it. – x-isms in content that is clearly not satirical (racism, sexism, etc.) – clickbaity title and then the question is not answered or hidden in a lot of junk (ok, usually I avoid those initially, but sometimes it happens) ![]() – advertisement disguised as editorial content very bad sound disturbing camera movement or cuts) I thumb down – bad production occasional field recordings or mobile streaming is fine, but if the message suffers (e.g. ![]() – for board game reviews: non-well articulated criticism/praise or very heavily biased reviews I thumb down when I feel that a video does not deliver what it promised, if it’s done badly, I feel betrayed, or in general if I consider it a “bad service”. no vote) on most board game reviewer content I tend to thumb up reviews that I disagree with but that are well articulated and that give me valuable insights.

If you ever click “thumbs down” on a YouTube video, what motivates you to do that (instead of simply not watching the video, doing nothing, or leaving a comment)? I’m genuinely curious–maybe there’s something I’m missing here. For that reason, I almost wish there was a button that meant, “I respectfully disagree, but I appreciate you taking the time for sharing your opinion.” Perhaps that’s how some people use the thumbs-down button. There are certainly videos I didn’t enjoy and videos I disagreed with, but for videos that would offend me to the point that I’d feel justified in thumbs downing them, I wouldn’t seek them out to watch in the first place.Ī big part of it, of course, is that I create content–on YouTube and otherwise–and while I don’t always agree with other people, I respect the time they put into creating their content. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever clicked the thumbs down button on a YouTube video. Were those people trying to say that the video wasn’t effective at teaching the rules?.
