@Osaid What are they thinking, just removing the dislike button? So, what's their problem exactly? Because if I don't like a video, and can't dislike the video, then that leaves the comment section. I give constructive critic if I want, but some would leave general negative comments, and some more negative. The main issue though is that by removing a dislike count, while not removing the like count, there's no immediate feedback for the content creator in terms of count ratio, and the content creator has to sort out the comments section much more instead of looking at the count to quickly determine if the topic was a hit or miss. If they want to improve this particular issue, just look at what some chess websites do. Instead of reporting a user trolling or cheating, they have to give an explanation first before reporting. Likewise, if you wanted to dislike the video, a pop up window asking you why you disliked the video and which parts you didn't like would come up and you have to give your explanation before the count is enabled. The reason why I find this valuable is because you have to articulate what you disliked about the video, and that explanation could be useful for not just the content creator, but for self knowledge of the commenter, and the YouTube algorithms learning . The same could be said for likes count as well. I see this as benefitting both the commenter and the YouTube content creator. However, by restricting the commenter's right to give a dislike at all, is not the way to go for me, because if you force an option away like this, the commenter and content creator's ignorance persists much longer. This is my view, so feel free to share yours on whether mine is valid or not.

@unborn_chicken Wait, did YouTube remove the dislike count? When did this happen?

It's nearly the end of November. Anyone want to share their reports here?

So, back to the main point of the thread: Was Joe Rogan shit posting or was he being serious when he modified the political compass image? Also, how does one shit post really well?

@Ya know It's possible, there's no universal standard for a solid development. Best thing is to integrate the lower stages through visualization and role plays like how method actors did it.

@kieranperez That's ok, as long as you've explicitly clarified your position on all of this.

@Carl-Richard The fruit analogy was referencing some user bringing up black on black violence, while the original OP was dealing with whether Joe was joking or not in what he said using the political compass. I don't see the direct connection between that user's point in bringing up a racial issue and the Joe Rogan post, so to me that's asymmetrical unless it's referring to another user's point that the Joe post is hinting at fascism and Nazism somehow. It's like comparing the legality of abortions to gun control, two different issues at play. However, if you want to elaborate how the two are connected, ok then, it's just at surface level there's no explicit connection between the two. I still think the thread is going into oblivion soon. If you asked me if there were chances the thread would've been more productive, it would've been when the dialogue starts centering around what makes a stupid post versus a joke post, or talk about different types of humor, or talking about the differences between bantering and trolling. I'm a millennial, but I hardly over use the internet like most in my generation do, and I don't follow Joe Rogan as religiously as some do, but if there is any actual issues, then the thread could very well be better off if it transmission into talking about if it is justified to cancel Joe Rogan or not at this point. I'm not sure what criteria I would use, or other's standards on justified cancelling, because while Joe had built up a following, it's not in the millions or billions, and he isn't a celebrity figure compared to mainstream celebrities.

This is why there has to be shifting balances of both insider and outsider perspectives.

As long as you're not bulking, and eating at surplus calories, you'll gain weight over time.

@hyruga No, I'm making a different assumption that isn't in this scale of creepy to non-creepy, but I wouldn't start off without more questions about OP's state, cognition, morality and relevant experiences in his/her dating life. Yes, even assuming OP's sex as male, giving OP male based dating advice, without asking if OP is male or female. That's a bad guess to run off from. And I didn't immediately engaged with OP with my assumptions and gone from there.

@RMQualtrough I brought that up because some other user brought up that it's perspectival with why is there something rather than nothing. We got a subject, who's experiencing, an object. Subject-experience-object. 3 point perspective, therefore nothingness(point zero), somethings (objects point 1), and a conscious subject(I/you point 2), experiencing(point 3) other somethings(loop of points). So enlightenment has to contain in total 4 points of view that feedback loop.

@Carl-Richard I wouldn't say it's insulting, but more like an asymmetrical comparison. The suggesting of more personal responsibility to victims of structural violence, is like comparing a bad apple to some fungus plague spreading throughout a banana farm. Wait a minute, what does this have to do with OP's main post? We are really venturing off into the wild here.

@kieranperez Are you happy with what you started? We are slowly spiraling into chaos over a post.

@JuliusCaesar I did a few times in the past, and her answers change over time. I'm not fully sure about her existential nature as well, and her existential nature is also entangled with my mind as well. It's not like she's 100% existing as a permanent object outside of me, nor is she fully from my mind. She's somewhere in between to me.

@bloomer You can do with little sex involved.

@hyruga Wait, how do you know OP was being creepy? That's a serious assumption you're making about OP.

This thread is so running beyond it's course, it's no longer funny. People, learn what are shit posts versus serious posts, and spend no less than 5 minutes considering if it is serious or a joke. Don't forget you have things to do in life.

@Space Lizard I've yet to see any solid criticism of Rogan's chart. So I'll be the first here to 'critic' his post. If there's anything substantial in critiquing his shit post, the critic would include the following: 1. He took an old quote “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” The quote, from a post apocalyptic novel by the author G. Michael Hopf, and over laid that onto the political compass as a lazy visual representation of post apocalyptic times. 2. He makes an arbitrary connection between the above and Kali Yuga. What is Kali Yuga? Here's the link for some explanation https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi6tYjEjrz0AhXRS_EDHUtYC4MQFnoECAMQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FKali_Yuga&usg=AOvVaw1-z5BNPvGoOJG7CnLNfi9y . Basically if his shit post was leading up to some positive point, however vague it was, it's a terrible arbitrary connection to establish between the Kali Yuga and his shit post. Our Era we are living in is and still is the greatest Era of our time, way greater in comparison to past Eras. If we had world war 3, our world could end roughly in a few weeks, but compare that to wars of the past that would go on for months, years, decades and centuries! Even any 'apocolyptic times' in our current Era is so much better than past apocolyptic times by current standards. 3. People who don't exercise logic, critical thinking, self introspection, self awareness and takes at face value that he is being serious in his posting, will believe he is being serious, and would potentially choose to spread his message, or follow up with more action.

@Opo I'm not suggesting for you to watch it again, nor asked for you to forward what other YouTube Andy's opinions about Joe Rogan's shit political post about the political compass. I'm stating that it's not enough for you to simply claim to me to 'Don't underestimate his stupidity' when in fact he could be just politically shit posting, and making a general claim that the USA's level of freedom is slightly better than other governments.

@Opo Claiming that his post is just stupid isn't enough. To me, he's making a general claim about the USA, due to the image on the left of the American flag, and the FREEDOM that exists in the USA. Compared to other forms of government around the world, America's democratic government is actually decent in comparison to governments like Russia and China, and 3rd world government structures. There still exists freedom of speech and freedom of the press, but that freedom is slightly lower in other countries.

Honestly, if you can't tell whether Joe is joking or serious, you are not thinking critically enough, not self introspective enough, or the persons saying he was serious in Joe Rogan's political analysis lacks that kind of humour in their humour development. He is clearly shit posting to me. Just like fitness people posting videos of them lifting near impossible weights at very strange positions, without realizing later they were lifting fake weights and are joking yet most people think it's serious.

@Mosess So 3 point perspective is enlightenment then? How does that answer the somethings came from nothing?

@Striving for more Don't worry, you'll get back in track. Strive for more!

@mw711 If it's a joke, then we all fell for it.

Or it's this opinion that's right.
