Questions for people with Youtube accounts?
I don't have a Youtube account yet, so I'm wondering:
1. Obviously you can give comments a Thumbs Up, but is there a Thumbs Down option too? Or only Thumbs Up? (I'm talking about comments, not the likes/dislikes bar for the video).
2. How do comments get "marked as spam" and are hidden? Is this due to many Thumbs Down? Or do lots of people click some kind of Report Spam button or something similar?
3. Assuming that there is a Thumbs Down option for comments, what happens if, for example, a comment has 25 thumbs Up, and someone gives it a thumbs Down...does it go down to just 24 thumbs Up? If there is no Thumbs Down option, disregard this question..
4. Can you Thumbs Up comments on your own videos? And is this anonymous?
Best answer ASAP to whoever answers ALL questions thoroughly.
Thank you!

2. if you highlight over the comment, there's an option on the right of it to "mark as spam". (you also thumb up or down a comment by highlighting over the comment.)
3. yes, if you thumbs down a comment, and it has 25 thumbs up, it will go down to 24.
4. yes, you can thumbs up or down comments on your videos. it is anonymous

You can like or dislike videos and also thumbs up or thumbs down on peoples comments. If a comment gets too many thumbs down it goes to spam, same situation as yahoo answers. Also if a comment had 25 thumbs up and one person thumbed it down yes it would go down to 24. You can't thumbs up on you're own video comments it's just based off of everybody else. If you do get an account and make videos I would recommend changing the setting so that people can still comment but the thumbs up and down option is not available. It's stupid and people will thumb down just to troll you.

To keep it simple:
1. There is a thumbs down option as-well as a thumbs up for comments.
2. Comments are marked as spam if users report it as spam.
3. Yes the thumbs goes down each time a user thumbs down that comment.
4. You cannot thumbs up your own comments. You will have to be signed in to thumbs up or down, hence it is not anonymous.
Hop this helps!

1. Yes you can.
2. People click Report As Spam
3. It goes down one for every thumbs down. It can go to 5 thumbs down if no thumbs up.
4. You can't thumbs up your own comments, but ANY other comment you can, no matter the video.

1. There are both.
2. They spam things, or get thumbs down.
3. If you put your mouse over the thumbs up button it shows that it had a button down.
5. It is anonymous, and no you can't.

1: yes both
2:from people reporting it as spam or lots of thumbs down, click the flag to mark as spam.
3: it shows how many thumbs up as well as thumbs down, it doesnt just subtract or add
4: yes it will show on your profile tho if people decide to look at your profile after watching your video

Yes to thumbs down
Yes to "flag as spam" option.
No, it has 25 thumbs up and 1 thumbs down
No you can't thumbs your own videos.
And actually, you don't need a YouTube account. Any "Google account" such as Gmail (which I use) will work.
