  • I hate that new rating system too, I blocked a lot of users because they tried to swearing me on my videos for no reason, now always and always I get dislikes from blocked users and I cannot block users from disliking my videos, the only solution is to disable rating option on your video, I hate this and I can't calm down!

  • Actually, it was hinting about like and dislike

  • Personally, I hate the new rating system. Some people seem to think its simpler, and easier. But in all honesty, I think youtube is dumbing down, to dumb people.

    Whats worse, is that video ratings have been removed from the thumbnails. If there is one thing youtube need to change, its putting the ratings back on the thumbnails.

  • @danagol1985 hmmm interesting

  • @danagol1985 Youtube Are The Dark Ages ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!

  • I find the new like/don't like ratings system extremely juvenile. Not to mention they copycatted it from another website. Damn you, YouTube, now you have to dumb down people's opinions and lick Facebook's ass?

  • first they took away the star system and replaced it with the thumb system which made ratings less useful... now i can't even see the ratings, i have to go to insight if i want to know if a video is shitty or not.

  • I WANT THE 5 STARS BACK!!!!!!!!!! It was much simpler to rate when there were 5 stars, because we could say we hated, we didn't like, we liked a little, we liked or we loved... 5 OPTIONS!!! I used to rate 3 or 4 stars, but rarelly 1 or 5. Now there's no middle opinion, we have to say we like it or dislike it, that pisses me off! But now in a half of the videos I watch I just don't know what to rate...

    Damn YouTube, I love you, but what the hell are you doing??? Come on, everybody!

  • OH THATS WHY!!!! 

  • Agreed, I feel as an overall picture the rating system worked. Now that it is gone I get to waste many fucking minutes of my life watching terrible videos.  This could have been avoided if I could see that it was rated as shitty. This coupled with the increased number of ads I can see now being a good time for a new video site to get into the market. Youtube is on the decline.

  • getting rid of ratings is stupid.... as soon as i see 2 stars on the viedo i dont even bother watching it

  • I need ratings

  • I don't care if most people only give 1 or 5 stars, I didn't I would often give 2, 3 or 4 stars as well, and so what if hardly anybody else does, I don't give a crap what most people do if most people can't make any other distinctions other than awesome and shit and only want give 1 or 5 star scores, then let them rather than making sure that's the only option available.

  • well now they've changed the rating system and it fucking sucks.

  • @thephantomplatypus i like the thumbs up and down it seems so much simpler and easier to me

  • @TheWillofDC

    FUUUUUU :rage: if they can do anything right they would put ratings next to the videos especially so we can know if a video is junk or not. thats why people get rick rolled lol and if we are watching ANYTHING other than entertainment (that we already like?) ....we are in trouble, quite frankly ,and will be disappoint.

  • so i say once again... WE NEED TO AT LEAST PUT THUMBS UP/ THUMBS DOWN BESIDE THE VIDEOS... so it can spare us from having to watch a video only to find out that its SHIT.

    what what good are the ratings then? oh i forgot.. when you link it to facebook, motherfuckers can look at what you LIKED .... OOOOH! hurr hurr ...fucking facebook lol

  • And here's another interesting youtube development. Increased CENSORSHIP...based not on profanity or nudity, but on IDEOLOGY and CONTENT.

    Anyone else noticing suspicious and highly selective little red "error" messages when posting a comment? True that many folks will never notice. But it's happening. "Error" is the GIANT WEB$ITE'$ sly way of saying "we don't like the words you're using...and you've been CENSORED." It's not paranoia. It's self-evident and easy to document.

  • Now one logs onto youtube and selects a search subject...and is given a VAST and UNDIFFERENTIATED ocean of vids. And exactly how is that supposed to be more efficient? Its an efficient way of insulting people's intelligence. It's an efficient means of NOT allowing people to avoid wasting their time. How shall one decide to click on one video over another? Millions of barely (or not at all) differentiated options.

    Youtube is efficiently making itself SHABBY and DUMMIED-DOWN. What a shame.

  • Thumbs up vs thumbs down' is a gross over-simplification.

    Childlike types who are manipulated into worshiping attractive celebrities (any super-mass-marketed schlock placed before them) watch such vids by the millions...and THEY tend to "knee-jerk" rate their favorite subjects with perfect "5s"...yes, such banal, simplified humans DO tend to rate vids with an "all or nothing" mindset.

    But regarding NON-mass-marketed vids/subjects, the star ratings were much more variable...and USEFUL.

  • well now its thumbs up and thumbs down, i want rating :(

  • I have 17 guitar instructional videos posted and they were all 5 star. I was proud of that so it's a little disapointing to me. I'm sure all the people with shitty videos will rejoice at the death of the rating system. I guess I was one of the very few who actually used all five possible ratings when looking at videos.

  • @geoffstockton

    Same here, I think the new look sucks. 1/2 the time comments go wherever they want to. The new look sucks.

  • Logo !

    check out my channel !

  • I WANT THE RATINGS BACK!

  • CRAPP!!! NO MORE RATINGS, i just realized that today... darn. thats how i know if people like my videos or not... now im just left in the dark. for like small time video posters like me, a rating system worked because people would actually rate 1-5 stars and everything in between and viewers would be honest about how good they thought the video was. there should totally be an option where u can choose if u want ur videos rated or not. seriously dude...

  • Comment removed

  • im glad to know that youtube is putting polls and stuff asking everybody about what they should do! o wait i forgot they dont ask everyone

  • @blymtin they did ask for feedback

  • Comment removed

  • I like rating boring vids like this 1 star,

    hope ratings stay.

  • hahaha

  • Glad you knew I was joking, I honestly rated 5 stars...but do hope ratings stay.

  • ratings do nothing

  • ANDY FUCKING WARSKI FTW!!! He's sooo fucking sexyyy!!! C:

  • lol AGREED!!!

  • yt is gay, watch them take it away

  • If I want a video to be out of my subscription box I have to rate it.

  • Comment removed

  • i agree with youtube

  • They better keep the ratings! They've already ruined YT enough already!

  • ratings better sta, or im GONE

  • i like the ratings becuz utube is about the people u know the guys who created utube cant say what videos r good i think people should just rate their fav video

  • They should at least do like a thumbs up thumbs down thing where we can tell if the video is bad, when I see a vid with 1 star it's usually a fucking screamer or like YouTube poop trying to trick ppl and know I won't know

  • They should just have you have to rate the video if you go to the other one.

  • does any one else find it weird that youtube put "top rated" on the beta channels right before they get rid of ratings?

  • I'm one of the people that actually rates other than 5 stars or 1 star sometimes! lol.

    no fairrr

  • ratings rock

  • is it just me or is it blurier

  • nineteno for next weeks youtuber of the week because he is awesome!!

  • they cant get rid of ratings

  • I get rude comments delte all ratings and

    comments!

  • "YT should just have a thumbs up and thumbs down rating feature"

  • yeh but they should hav an in between as well

  • i usualy rate the video 1 star if the ratings are down

  • KEEP THE RATINGS!!! They're what tells us how crappy or awesome a video is if we compare them to the view count. Or at least add in a percentage thumbs up and thunbs down thing so that youtube doesn't go to war with the youtubers again like the whole thing with the Beta channels -__- speaking of the beta channels, I think youtube forgot about them altogether :P

  • You can rate things between 1 and 5 stars?

  • hey will did you see the top most subscribed people they dont have their reward for it

  • get rid of ratings and comments!

  • KEEP THE RATINGZ :( xx

  • YT should just have a thumbs up and thumbs down rating feature;

  • I agree with Uchiha. Just have a thumbs up or down rating. Plain and simple. That will separate the videos that have content versus ones that dont. I speak from personal youtube-surfing experience, that there alot of videos out there that rename the video just for views and do not deliver what they claim to be. It gets annoying at a certain point and those that deserve credit often go unnoticed. Its also like that in the music industry and other art fields not just YouTube. remove ratings

  • YouTube, I mean, YT2K9, totally blows!

  • ratings are pretty pointless... everyone does just vote 5 stars

  • noooo. ratings is what makes yotube not television. it's how we tell each other something is crap or not. without it they will serve up ads to you just like television.

  • rating is nice.

  • i think ratings are over-rated. too many people are asking for 5-stars.. no one deserves them anymore

  • Get the stars the fuck out YT's right 5-1!

  • i really enjoy the ratings! whenever im looking for a video of a tutorial or something, the ratings help me decide which video ima be lookin at.

  • BINGO. thank you.

  • thanks for the news, Will. it's great being informed and hearing about things more quickly than I might otherwise!

    I like the stars because it gives viewers another way to be seen interacting with the videos. And I am someone who pretty much rates everything 5 stars! I don't make videos and if someone goes to the effort, I figure they deserve 5 stars! take care! <3 karen

  • thanks karen!

  • i vote keep the stars =p

    im getting kinda sick of youtube changing... ha

  • Who DIDN'T know that people only rate 5 stars, 1 star or don't vote at all?

    Wow, I hadn't heard about the trending topics. Poor Twitter, everyone is copying it LOL.

  • true times true

  • WHAT, i rate honestly! this week....mmm college humor had a few 2s and 3s from me, usually it's 4 or 5, UH OH! hehe, you deliver everytime! peace!

  • Great video :)

  • thanks!

  • How about a Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down?

  • YEAH since people just want to rate 1 and 5!

  • i like ratings...i only rate how i really feel about the video not just 1 or 5 stars

  • keep 1-5, but add thumbs up & thumbs down. In search results and related videos, show thumbs up or thumbs down instead of rating

  • The should be a new rating system... Like if you like the video you either rate Yes/No instead of 5/1...

  • i love ratings they keep me informed as to which vids are worth watching

  • keep ratings youtube or die!!! an btw congratz with 10k subs YAY! love ur news... AND your other vids..

  • thanks!

  • the bad thing about rating is that people rate for personal reasons and not for the actual video

  • i think they should instead of having stars just giving a thumbs up or thumbs down also i think it should help trending topics with the fact less stard ones get put at the bottom and most stard ones get to be up top no matter the views it should be a separate thing from most viewed

  • i like the ratings. i don't always rate 5 stars only on the things i wanna see more of or the things that make laugh till i get a hernia lol.

  • the only thing i want sorted is RICK ROLLING!!! i h8 gettin rick rollrd

  • You remind me of WhatTheBuck for some reason. I don't want the ratings gone, because I like to know whether I should give that video my view count and a fraction of a penny. Pretty much why don't watch anything that doesn't have a rating, or I can't find it unless I know it'll interest me.

  • you know that whetter you vwatch a video entirely or not you view is count lol ever since it's on play it's count =]

  • I kinda understand how ratings are useless... i either rate 5 stars or rate 1 stars if I hate it..

    and i really like the new comments layout... but they kinda copied twitter

  • gz for 10k subs

  • THX

  • Lol, lets rate everything 5 stars then! :)

  • hahaha yes

  • I enjoy TheWillofDC.

    You should too.

  • me 2

  • ratings suck anyway kinda pointless and it clutters the main page with only videos that people rate because the people who make the vids tell them too

  • Now how am I supposed to protect myself from screamers!

  • i want them to keep the ratings (:

    hey i just wanted to let you know you should check out ickest's channel (: hes a really good singer and hes really funny well check him out :D btw i lovee you videoss (:

  • i love your channel! i definitely want to submit someone! BKANGEL310!!! i think she's an awesome female partner, she's my favorite =} you should def check her out!

  • I am usually guilty of rating 5 stars or one star.. sometimes i think the video only needs 3 or 4 stars.. so i'll vote 1 star to hopefully change the overall rating of 5 to something a little lower, since i know it wont go all the way to one.. but i gotta ask will.. how do you vote on the vids you watch?

  • i usually 5 star everything, lol

  • thats awesome!! a YT celeb replied to me.. im still freakin out.. lol

  • aww, I'm going to miss the ratings :(

    Anyways, this was a great video. AndyWarski is awesome, he deserves so many more subscribers!! 5 stars :D

  • well sometimes ratings help like if i wanted

    "dog jumps over car" and i saw two videos one rated 5 stars and another rated 1 star i would go with the 5 starred one because the 1 star one could have been a spam video or had a misleading title

  • its true that you rate 5 or 1 but that tells you if you should watch if its 5 it cant be horrible if its 1 i dont watch

  • i like ratings!

  • Thumbs up, Thumbs down would be the best. Kind of like Funny or Die.

  • I love your videos will! You always keep me updated! You rock will!! (:

  • thanks so much!

  • Hey man,

    I am a big fan of your videos. I only mean this to be positive. But you need to get a better background, it just comes across as amateur and unprofessional.

    Of which you are NEITHER!! Just get like a a blanket or something and hang it up behind you.

    Great work as always

    - Bryan

  • Does SXEPhil use a background? Do you see Shane Dawson using a background? I submit that they do not.

  • No but as a news style it would make more sense to have a background. Look at buckhollywood who he sort of styles his shows after.

    VLOGS don't necessarily need a background, but when you're talking news a proffesional appearance goes a long way

  • Meh. WillofDC does well enough the way he's doing. I personally like the feeling his videos give. Anyway, it's the content, not the greenscreens that make a video good.

  • That's true, but there is nothing wrong with putting icing on the cake

  • I agree.

    I like willofdc's videos but i think it would be sooo much better with a whatthebuck style background

  • well i like to see what video i'm watching based on the star rating, sometimes the video is like 2 1/2 stars, not something i'd watch. and if they change it to thumbs up and thumbs down i would be fine with it!

  • i love watchin ur vids they r really cool to watch and i love the updates on winners and losers i hope u make it big much success thnx

  • thanks so miuch!

  • the should just change it to like thumbs up thumbs down

  • I like the idea of getting rid of the ratings. I almost never rate videos, and when I do it's always either 5 starts or occasionally 1 star... and I don't even look at ratings when I'm looking at videos, so I don't really care about them...

  • I like the ratings. The views are always screwed up it, always says 311. At least with the ratings you see how many people really liked it.

  • very true!

  • they should have a thing where you can look how much your comments have recieved thumbs up or thumbs down that would be a cool feature on a person's page.

  • true times true

  • They should make it a " thumbs up " " thumbs down " type of thing for each video!

    I RELY ON RATINGS!!

  • ME two that waht thay should do

  • youtube should do a top 500 instead of 100

  • THAT WOULD BE NUTS, lololol

  • it would be sweet

  • i want them to remove the 650 fave limit

  • for serious

  • Totally agree with makemebad35. IDK if they should get rid of ratings.

  • I'd say rating thumbs up or thumbs down would be more useful since it's usually 1 or 5 stars that people rate. Some videos are intentionally misleading just to get views and those can be flagged, but a negative rating would help steer away from them.

  • They need to keep the rating system. That helps me know which of my videos people like the most. And allows users to express how they feel. I usually rate videos 5 stars or not at all, but I know the videos with the most and best ratings are the more popular ones.

  • Ratings have to stay. Unless they were to simplify it like the website funnyordie, where you can only rate funny or die

  • hahah yea

  • noooooooo, keep the ratings this is bs.

  • I love how huge people like Makemebad35 comment on your videos. You should totally be more popular then you are xD

  • thanks!

  • gooo

  • Noo! I like ratings! Its like, the 3 most important things on youtube! Subscriptions, comments, and ratings!

  • But I guess it is being abused by the high ranked users because they always do say "rate 5 stars!". I feel that at least that part should be the opinion of the user and not force them to rate the video an automatic 5 stars. Let the video be rated how it should be rated.

  • o u mean like the "5 stars for pink!" or "5 stars for hippos!' makemebad35?

  • Exactly LiveBold.

  • stayy i love ratings

  • Getting rid of ratings?! WHAT!?!

  • i know right!

  • Oh mannn. I like those cute little things like "Five stars or I'll kick a puppy". Hahhahaha. You know what I mean? XDD

  • i think the ratings should stay, but that thumbs up thumbs down system may be better if too many things are getting 5 stars

  • without ratings, i wont know if a title and screenshot are legitamit videos, it saves me time so i dont have to view videos that are complete shit and decieving

  • ooooh and i like andy, i was actually on this interview show with him like last month, he was very funny!

  • i do like being able to rate vids..

  • no ratings? How weird. It's like (was) a huge element of YouTube.. haha

    *subscribes* :)

  • THANKS!

  • it doesnt really matter to me to be honest about the ratings?

  • Ha, I don't care what YouTube says, you'll always be five stars to me.

  • THANKS SO MUCH!

  • I like the ratings, but I can see why they're looking to get rid of them.

  • yeah me 2

  • i dont care about ratings, i luv the commenting sections though!

  • i dont really care for the ratings. if its from a person with videos i love, i always rate them 5 stars or forget to. so ratings are pointless and it doesn't really matter to me if they stay or not.

  • You should check out jaybrannan, pyrobooby and DaPhamily.

  • love jaybrannan and pyrobooby, will have to check out daphamily

  • i used to like andy but not anymore

  • i think they should get rid of ratings a lot of good videos get low rated just because they hate the person on youtube

  • Omg. No, they can't take away ratings, wtf :o D:

  • could you check out my videos?

  • If they get rid of ratings I wil b fn pissed. I rate stuff other than 1 or 5 all the time, if a video sux, but they did a good job with the camera angles and wat not I will rate at least 2, if I sense u didn't try as hard as some of ur other videos I will rate 3 or 4

  • i kind of like the ratings but i can definitely see why they would get rid of them.

  • keep rating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • diggin the thumnail pic...

    and they should keep ratings although they do make a good point

  • wardere made the thumbnail, loves him

  • I really want ratings to stay! I actually do rate videos other than a 1 or 5 stars. Also I like seeing how many rates a video has gotten.

  • I always liked the concept of ratings, but they are useless.

  • I want ratings to go because every top rated vid is Shane Dawson and he is getting old and anoyying.
