Tiktok Debut Dislike Comment Option On Videos
A hate option has been added to TikTok video comments.
Keynotes
- TikTok users are given the option to star-rate and then categorise the comments made about their videos.
- It is now possible for TikTok users to either like or dislike the remarks of others.
- TikTok just introduced the ability to “Dislike” a video.
A new upgrade on the social media site TikTok allows users to rate comments on their content and sort them into positive and negative categories. In addition, users may now like or hate other users’ comments on TikTok.
Complex discussions often take place in the comments section of various social media postings. Unfortunately, filtering out all the hate speech on TikTok might be difficult. Moreover, it’s incredibly frustrating since the site seldom highlights the most insightful arguments.
This may soon change, though, as the site has announced a new way for users to provide feedback on the remarks of others. The “Dislike” button has just been added to TikTok. What the “thumbs down” means in the comments section after months of testing the feature?
TikTok now includes a dislike option underneath uploaded videos to facilitate user feedback further. The social app is also given the option to star-rate and then categorise the comments about their videos.
It is now possible for TikTok users to either like or dislike the remarks of others.
Furthermore, TikTok just introduced the ability to “Dislike” a video. While there are no hard and fast rules for utilising the tool, Facebook claims it will be better able to identify “inappropriate or irrelevant” remarks because of the change in how users interact with the platform.
Therefore, it’s safe to assume that a comment’s disapproval rating rises as more people thumb it down. And the more it disappears, the less other people will see it.
We must stress that users will not be able to see the number of “dislikes” their remark has received. And those who have already voiced their thoughts are welcome to reconsider their positions.
The effect is that TikTok is rapidly catching up to other social media sites. Places where “disliking” other users’ remarks is already a feature, such as YouTube and Reddit. If your remark is offensive or completely irrelevant, it will now have a much lower chance of showing up for other users.
While this change may eventually help make social media platforms safer places to interact with one another, it will likely be some time before we can determine whether or not the new feature has improved the video comments area. We’ll keep an eye on what happens next and keep you updated.
