Why do YouTube users seem to downvote everything?

I’ve noticed a weird trend on YouTube lately. It seems like no matter what video I watch, there’s always a bunch of dislikes. Even on really good content! It’s super frustrating.

Is it just me, or does YouTube have a culture of negativity? I don’t see this happening on other social media platforms. Like, on Instagram or TikTok, people are generally more positive.

What’s up with YouTube viewers? Are they just extra critical? Or maybe there are bots involved? I’m really curious to hear what others think about this. Have you guys noticed the same thing?

It’s kind of discouraging for content creators too. Imagine putting hours into a video only to get a ton of dislikes for no reason. Makes me wonder if there’s something about YouTube’s algorithm or community that encourages this behavior.

yeah, i’ve noticed that too. it’s like ppl on youtube just love to hate. maybe it’s cuz the dislike button is right there, so it’s easy to click without thinkin. or maybe some folks are just jealous of creators’ success? idk, but it sucks for sure. wish ppl would chill and appreciate good content more.
