CHM Tech | The Curious Case of the YouTube Comment Dislike Button @chmtech | Uploaded March 2019 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
The YouTube comment dislike button wasn't always this way. It was messed up! Really badly! By Google Plus!

YouTube comments can be rated with a like or dislike. But the two buttons do not exhibit the same behavior.

The comment like button basically works just like the video like button - you click on it, it gets highlighted, and its counter increases by a value of one.

However when you click the dislike button, it gets highlighted, and that's pretty much it! From a user perspective, it practically does nothing!

In this video we explore the most probable reason why this is so.
