Every time I search a video on Presidents speeches on YouTube has more of a dislike bar to like bar. At best the videos are split 50/50 on that ratio. The white house YouTube page has majority dislikes across all videos. There were more MAGA trolls than I thought.

(3,187 posts)it plays an important role in the fake news/misinformation effort. The story is the same for lots of wonderful liberal channels on youtube, many have low follower numbers and low visit numbers.
There are more conservatives on youtube than liberals.

(38,332 posts)...just compare the like/dislike counts with total views.
However, MAGA trolls aren't "most people", they're on a mission from (Orange) God to refute and refuse Biden at every turn (just as they did Obama before him). They'll always make sure to hit dislike. Add to them bots that auto-dislike posts from certain outlets with certain keywords, and the "dislike" count balloons still more.

(259 posts)when they upload the video the first time on the white house youtube page is always majority of dislikes right away.
