Thanks Skittles. It already has 42 dislikes. I havent thrown any likes at it in 6 months and just started again 3 days ago but it wont go up...
What skittles is trying to tell you is that, if its really frozen then the dislikes will not be counted. However, if dislikes are counted then is simply that your likes are being counted as invalids.
Thumbs up, Thumbs down
Likes, Dislikes
All have valids and invalids for the +(thumbs up, likes) and the -(thumbs down, dislike)
Youtube has a simple binary system, in which when you do any of those it will either be a valid or invalid like, dislike, thumbs up, thumbs down.
Thumbs up and likes are harder to do than thumbs down and dislikes, when your thumbs up and likes become invalid(aka. not counted) then your dislikes and thumbs down should still be valid, that is if you haven't exhausted them either.
In other words, there are limits to likes, thumbs up, dislikes, thumbs down.
Luckily, for likes and dislikes is easier to figure out when they are not counted, because you can see it on the source. Not with thumbs up and thumbs down, there is a way but you need to look carefully. That is why comments don't go to the top, because Valid ratings < than the first and second Valid ratings.Not because its flagged, proxies,bad accts bla bla bla and whole other range of bullshit you get people mentioning claiming it as "conventional wisdom"
