You'd think there would be at least one person involved with enough self-awareness to say, "You know, maybe we should disable comments and voting on this video."

Good thing Youtube plans to remove the dislike button soon. If there's only a thumbs up button, that means that 100% of voters liked the content!

Votes currently stand at 34 likes to 11,000 dislikes. Is that a record low ratio on a video with a non-trivial amount of votes?

Rewind 2017 must be worse?

EDIT: Verified, it's not. But it must've been at some point.

You'd hope that there wouldn't be a single person involved with such a lack of self-awareness to suggest that a video about a freedom of expression award should have user expression blocked.

Hah, good point. I guess if they're going to be this tone-deaf they just have to accept the backlash.

It's kinda better if they know there will be a backlash and go ahead anyway out of evil or whatever.

It's considerably more disheartening to think that there are people out there with this level of power with no fucking connection with reality.

Here is a wikipedia page[1] for most disliked youtube videos. On balance I think Sadak 2 trailer wins with 13 mil views and 94.8% dislikes.

edit: a word

Because nothing says freedom of expression like silencing people.
