You think the movie director has access to the youtube account to see the dislikes?
I don't know about movie directors.
I forgot earlier after year that when Dave was recommending exploring other video platforms I actually copied some browser template profiles with shortcuts to auto sign into them and just found them... ,Bitchute, Odysee and LBRY
The Odysee browser profile shortcut is all there and working. The only thing I'd like to get rid of is the gradient over the player controls and animations over the placeholders.
I'll just transfer my trust from that platform over to these platforms.
Just found this:

YouTube censored the livestreams of a number of independent law groups who were streaming the Kyle Rittenhouse trial Monday with commentary, briefly suspending their videos after Judge Bruce Schroeder dropped the Kenosha shooter’s charge of illegal possession of a firearm. The tech giant intermittently suspended at least four different channels for a 20-minute period during the trial’s closing arguments, over what the company called 'policy violations' for using copyrighted audio – despite trial footage being in the public domain. Once the company determined the videos were not in violation of copyright law, they were all back up and running. But law group, Rekieta Media, lost about 40,000 viewers - nearly half the people watching their video. It is against YouTube's terms and conditions to use copyrighted content, meaning the site could suspend videos and streams that do. However, it's not clear what the company thought was copyrighted in the livestreams that it suspended or why it only cut out, intermittently, for about 20 minutes. In addition to Rekieta Media, news group Law and Crime, video-streaming platform Odysee and right-of-center political commentator The Amazing Lucas had their streams suspended. All channels are either conservative-leaning or centrist, however liberal channels like CBS and PBS appeared to have no issues with their streams of the trial.
In a livestream featuring eight lawyers, Nick Rekieta, the group’s founder, says, ‘I got a warning that says, heads up, we’ve detected copyrighted audio in your stream, your stream might be temporarily blocked.’ The streams appears to cut in and out as Rekieta tries to determine what is happening and alternates between different coverage of the trial before one lawyer in the chat says, ‘This is not making any sense. They’re saying the court audio is copyrighted audio? This makes no sense.’ They continue switching between video of the trial, noting that PBS has stayed up the whole time, as the lawyer adds, ‘You can’t copyright public domain.’ Several minutes later, the issue is still interrupting their video as ReKieta says, ‘I don’t know how to articulate how angry I am right now. YouTube shut the stream down.’ Eventually, they get the stream up and running again, but not before noting that 40,000 viewers left during the technical difficulties. Rekieta Media tweeted at 12:10pm, as the stream was happening, ‘HEY @TeamYouTube YOU BLOCKED MY STREAM?!? FIX THIS SHIT.’

Addressing the YouTube suspensions, Carlson wrote, ‘Just minutes after the judge in the case dismissed the gun charge, YouTube, which is owned by Google, censored the video streams of several independent legal experts who were commenting on the trial in real time. These were knowledgeable attorneys, many of whom were critical of the obvious weaknesses in the prosecution's case.

Sounds to me Youtube are playing games.
The funny thing is (if you can call it that) they're doing the same thing with that dislike counter for empty/nonsensical reasons like in that "Update to YouTube's dislike count" video where the truth in the dislike counter is surpressed to the viewer.
