Or, you can bring back the dislike button and stop promoting videos with high dislike ratios.
And maybe stop making comments help the video get more popular
Do comments first. There's so much spam that almost looks legit because of how many upvotes they have.
I am not referring to a like to dislike ration, I am referring to a dislike to view ratio. YouTube should bury those from recommendations.
And actual scams with 300+ upvotes. Not just copied comments that get edited layer, but entire chains directing people to whatsapp numbers.
I’d still take scam comments over “who is still listening in 2024?!” For a super popular song that came out in 2023 or for a timeless classic like Michael Jackson’s thriller
Those and "First!!!1!!" are obnoxious, but not actively harmful.
