Lol, you all give me a good chuckle.
As davewill originally said, who cares anyway?
Social media are funny in terms of "thumbs up" (to use a generic term appliable to different platforms).
YouTube has disabled thumbs down, although apparently the person who posted the video can still see them, but not thumbs up, which can be just as fake.
Popular choices are usually based on many factors.
Totally unrelated, but when I was younger I used to watch the Eurovision Song Contest. Apart from the fact that the songs are much worse than in the past (in general), the popular choice messes up everything. My two countries, the UK and Australia, are often gloriously ignored by the "public", no matter how good their entries are - Australia because they say it is not Europe (right or wrong, once a country is in a contest, they should be treated equally), and the UK because of Brexit. The real judges are usually fairer though.
Personally, I think both thumbs up and down should be disabled everywhere because they don't mean much. I don't remember where, but some time ago I was on a board where you could like a post, but there was no count of likes. That could also be an idea.
