I hate to side with Youtube, I really do, but they actually run an algorithm over videos that tests up/down votes from people and checks to see if those accounts actually watched the video - those who didn't will have their votes removed.
The process is a bit time consuming so it only gets run every so often.
And all those upvotes are legitimate? You think they are above tipping the scales. It's known they use their google algorithm to determine what information they don't want you to see get depressed. I have my serious doubts.
That is not true at all - up and down votes are not qualified based on view duration because they are not included in digital marketing earnings. The algorithm does use votes to promote videos though.
They absolutely are, the process once began at 300 votes and the videos would have all votes suspended until a review, but the review now occurs as a cron job. I'm not certain which videos are targeted or the scheduling, but what I said was correct as of a year or so ago.
Hold on - review of thumb up or down on Youtube?! I do not know if you worked with Youtube or any social media platforms. They do not have a proactive moderation process unless you are President Trump, and that is just recently. Their algos do everything, and the only time any human interaction takes place is after the algos flag it, or a viewer/third-party flags it. Youtube or any social media platforms cannot afford the level of moderation that you are describing.
I am intimately familiar with the mechanism, it's not super advanced. Every time you like/dislike a video it is added to your list of liked/disliked videos and your ID is added to the video's liked/disliked tables.
If a video is flagged as having a suspicious amount of votes then a simple script which examines the viewer's history against their vote is run to weed out possible fake accounts... so when 10,000 people come in from a website and see a video they don't watch and down-vote it those votes will potentially get removed.
It's a really simple, straight-forward, process actually designed to fight what Youtube viewed as theft from them by creating fake views and reactions.
This is literally what I spent many years doing for a living.
I'm a software engineer, go find another and you'll discover how simple and common sense my answer is. There are even Youtube videos on the process in the early days ("Why do likes pause at 300" or some such),

They are definitely not above tipping the scales, but anti-spammer vote mechanisms are extremely common.
It's mostly to stop bots from spamming votes on videos and gaming the monetization metrics.

Btw... the algos are not doing a good job either.
