Simply so, what happens if I dislike a YouTube video?
Do you know dislikes are good for your youtube video. If video is liked or disliked by anyone that means you watched video carefully which let you rate the video. If you get 100 likes and 90 dislikes youtube would show it more in recommended videos. Why does YouTube show no view in my video though some people watch it?
Similarly, do thumbs down do anything on YouTube? When you click the thumbs up by someone's youtube comment, you see the post's Likes count grow by +1 immediately. But when you give it a thumbs down, nothing visible happens. Clicking dislike on a video will help it as much as a like does because YouTube sees them both as engagement.
Beside above, do dislikes help YouTubers?
While there is a belief that getting dislikes on your videos can hurt your search engine results, this is actually not true at all. However, Google does consider likes and dislikes as forms of engagement. This is good news for YouTubers as YouTube's algorithm looks for engagement.
Do YouTubers get paid for dislikes?
Likes or dislikes do not matter. Each is counted as the same thing. It is estimated that “engagement” (comments, likes, dislikes) only has a 1% affect on a videos ranking. The video below shows you how to increase Youtube views by 18%.
