YouTube Deleted 2.5 Million 'Dislikes' From Biden White House Videos, Data Indicates

YouTube has deleted about 2.5 million 'dislikes' from videos on the official White House channel of President Joe Biden, according to data collected and posted online by a researcher who wished to remain anonymous.

The White House videos have seen these kinds of interventions on an ongoing basis, but it appears it's only the dislikes that are disappearing.

The channel has posted more than 300 videos that have garnered nearly 3.7 million dislikes of which nearly 2.5 million were removed, according to data posted on the website 81m.org.

Even after the interventions, the videos have nearly six times more dislikes than likes on average, the data shows.

Posts on social media indicate that some supporters of former President Donald Trump make a point of disliking the Biden White House videos.

The videos often get thousands of dislikes shortly after popping online, only for a large portion of the dislikes being deleted later.

Videos of PewDiePie, one of the most popular channels on the platform, do show some like and dislike removals, but never more than a few dozen per video, based on a review of the data for the past more than two dozen videos on the channel.
