Remove "Yes Yes Playground Song" from Top Videos, shift No No Bedtime Song, Upa Cavalhino, and Gangnam Style down, Thick of It by KSI currently has 2.9 Million dislikes, which would put it at number 39 Anonymoosemelol (talk) 22:33, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add new column

New dislike counts are STILL available for those who look. There should be an additional column to show updated dislike counts. 188.26.145.159 (talk) 18:57, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Shrek 5 Trailer?

Does the Trailer count as the most disliked? I don't think Shrek 5 belongs there. The disliking API count isn't accurate after 2021's public removal. 2601:680:CD01:5E40:8646:832C:96CB:3FB7 (talk) 00:24, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of most-disliked YouTube videos → Last public list of most-disliked YouTube videos – Dislikes were disabled on December 2021, which was 3 years ago now. This list is out of date and the present title cannot reflect its contents, so the title is promising something to readers which it doesn't deliver on. I am open to other suggestions on the title change. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 15:44, 22 March 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 12:55, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: That can be clarified in the opening paragraph. The suggested title seems awkward. Wikipedia doesn't have to use titles that refer to current status. Many, many articles on Wikipedia identify their topics with a former status – for example, most articles about sports players are about people who no longer play the sport and in many cases are deceased. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:55, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – I agree with BarrelProof, the article can address the situation without the title being moved. cookie monster 755 18:23, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover, it seems like this is still the current list; no more "dislikes" can be registered, so these remain the most disliked. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:48, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The dislikes are still registered, just not publicly available. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 21:56, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think instead of that, we should actually update the list! Because you can still see dislikes! Eg224 (talk) 23:51, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, you can't. The actual dislike counts are hidden, and browser extensions are mere estimations. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 23:58, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as other editors have mentioned this is something that can be addressed in the lead. Paprikaiser (talk) 20:20, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Follow-up comment about third-party dislike counters: I see no reason why the article needs to be limited to information about dislikes that were reported by YouTube itself. If independent reliable sources report information about disliked YouTube videos, that seems appropriate for inclusion, and is a way to report results for more recent videos. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:52, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If such sources do exist, then I would suggest placing them in a separate section, as they are mere estimates. Perhaps a "post-2021 section." ―Howard • 🌽³³ 19:56, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are they estimates of YouTube's counters, or are they independent, separate counters? Either way, I see no reason not to include information reported by independent reliable sources. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:01, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Estimates of YouTube's counters. I would appreciate it if you could provide such sources since most of what I have found is unreliable or outdated. In addition, such sources should be open about their methods of estimation. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 20:12, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why are there only 42 vidoes

There use to be 50 Eg224 (talk) 23:52, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Disney's Snow White movie trailer

the trailer currently has 2.2 milion dislikes and 75k likes, meaning the percent of dislikes is 97%. Should be added to the list Lisiewiczka (talk) 15:46, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

According to what reliable sources? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:54, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
