I noticed this while listening to music, but it seems to be similar in other media such as twitch streams. You would think that such an important would be mentioned a lot because it affects everyone, but it seems to be strongly avoided.

Point 3 is definitely a big one - literally every video on YouTube related to COVID or the US government’s response to it has either been dislike bombed or has tons of comments calling the entire thing a hoax/encouraging people to not wear masks/telling people to refuse vaccinations.
Even the CDC’s own YT channel has this problem, and I find it amazing that so many people would go so far out of their way to find and dislike bomb a government agency’s YT channel when they’re just trying to keep people informed.
I’ve since found that arguing with people that do this is like arguing with a rock. A particularly stubborn rock at that.
Why don’t they disabled comments ? A lot of channels do this…
IIRC, the CDC has disabled comments on many videos, but it doesn’t stop the video from being dislike bombed. Plus most news sources don’t disable comments so all of the anti-masker crap just continues on those forums as well.
Even if you disabled likes, comments, everything, the crazies might just link to your video on wherever they congregate (I’m guessing mostly Facebook and Parler), and could even start spamming your other videos with fake information. They’re fucking relentless.
