Why they remove it in the first place?

YouTube put a "YouTube Rewind" video that was their most disliked video and it got a huge amount of dislikes. Within a few weeks the dislike counter was gone. Make of that what you will.

According to Wikipedia, it is the most disliked video with over 20 million dislikes. Source

What's it like to have a brain made out of cottage cheese?

At least the comment you're replying to has the disclaimer "make of that what you will". Meanwhile, you just straight up did what you falsely accused others of doing. Typical conservative projection.

not "projection" -- this claim is in multiple comments and appears the dominant explanation for what happened; per your observation the most you can say is "i picked the wrong comment to put that on", but it was an upper level and natural place to drop it, so that criticism doesn't apply

nor am I "conservative" -- I'm simply Christian

but thanks for the typical Reddit scorn

and if you're trying to accuse me of "after this therefore because of this" logic, then you clearly haven't spent any time thinking about the historical context and reasons Google would work with that regime

disabling reply notifications since it's never worth it try to engage in any discussion in a suppressed comment chain
