During Joe Biden’s presidential nomination acceptance speech last Thursday, his personal YouTube page as well as the Democratic Party’s YouTube page saw a large number of negative reactions from audiences in real time.
In fact, “dislikes” outnumbered “likes” as he was giving his speech live.
However, that ratio seems to have shifted in the hours and days after the Democratic National Convention.
The mysterious discrepancy has led many to wonder whether YouTube was deliberatley shifting the ratio of like like-to-dislike reactions in order to boost support for Biden.
