@Thornbush434 California. The land with so much sense, that the people thought it was a good idea to let a mountain lion live in Los Angeles. Not only did that result in the death of quite a few pets but the lion itself was put down, due to extreme health issues, including injuries sustained from multiple encounters with vehicles.
Most Americans are long-since separated from nature. California is a perfect example of this. Of the forty million people in California, relatively few of them have any idea how to behave in a world with predators. If they did, they wouldn't cheer for legislation that helps disarm them around the worst predators in the world: humans. Californians, for the most part, are not aware and do not take precautions. There's plenty of reason to worry.
Then again, maybe that's good reason to reintroduce the State mascot back into California. I wonder how many of you would support legislation that would have grizzly bears roaming the streets and parks of LA? We could make them a protected species, too. After all, they were in California before people were. They deserve to wander wherever they want, and people should just understand and go on about their business, right?

So, I can take a booster to "protect" me from Omicron...or I can just get Omicron?
60% of people in the US are vaccinated. 80% of Omicron cases in the US are vaccinated. I have a hard time believing that more of the same vaccine is going to stop a variant that, by all accounts, the vaccine is actually creating susceptibility to.
Meanwhile, if I get Omicron, I can look forward to a runny nose, a scratchy throat, a mild cough, some fatigue, and possibly some body aches. In other words, exactly how I spend all Winter feeling, due to working outside all day. Plus, I'll get some nice, natural immunity boost from it.
I'm sorry, where is the up side to the booster? Oh, that's right. You need those quarterly earnings. That couldn't possibly be why you're pushing for people to get boosters every three months, could it? Nah, I'm sure that's a complete coincidence.

@rd-lw4td Ha! Omicron is the equivalent to a cold. Runny nose, sore throat, mild cough, headache...it's kept at bay by Robitussin. Please, tell me the current death rate, or even severe case rate from Omicron. Go ahead. It should be a quick Google search away. I mean, they've been talking about how scary it is, so you know there are plenty of outlets giving the death and severe case rates, right?
Unless, of course, it's not actually that bad at all. In which case, all you'll find are COVID numbers in general, and nothing specifying any numbers for Omicron, other than cases. And don't bother with the one case the media jumped on in the UK. All of the news outlets were saying that person died from Omicron when, in fact, they died with Omicron. As soon as that was pointed out to them, they stopped talking about that case. However, even if they had died of Omicron, that would be one case in, what, hundreds of thousands at this point? Millions? Not exactly the "fucks you up" variant you seem to think it is.

It's not a new shot. They wouldn't waste the R&D money on that. It's the exact, same as the first. They see an opportunity to get people onto a treatment plan that happens to align with their fiscal quarters. You see, they figured out a while ago that cures are not as profitable as treatments. So, they come up with a shot that is just good enough to sell to those who are scared and desperate. Then they resell them the same thing every three months, to keep their profit margins up.
It's a beautifully crafted system that the fearful will not question. Why? Because they're afraid that if they stop complying, they'll die. Nobody else is claiming to be able to "save" them and they can't fathom a world wherein they have to just protect themselves. Throw in some politicians who love getting kickbacks and news media that thrives on sensationalism and you've got a perfect storm.
Omicron is thus far non-lethal. It's really fast moving. It also appears to be completely resistant to the shots. We'll pretty much all get it and then we'll all have what we need to fight off future variants. This is the beginning of the end for big Pharma's record breaking profits and they're scared as hell. $40,000,000,000/year allows you to buy off a lot of doctors, politicians, and news pundits. The coverage will get worse as we all get better. Guaranteed.

@rd-lw4td Ha! Many will get the sniffles from Omicron. Almost nobody will be in the hospitals from it and I doubt anyone will die from it who isn't already on death's door. There's no crisis to cold symptoms, which is the vast majority of cases from Omicron. South Africa doesn't have nearly the medical infrastructure we do and they're doing fine. They also don't have near the vaccination rate we do and again, they're doing fine.
Omicron is only scary to the media, politicians, and pharmaceutical companies because it signals an end to all of this. We're all going to get it - vaccinated or not, we're all going to survive it, and we're all going to have that sweet, sweet immunity boost from it. All future variants are likely to be just as mild, if not more so and we'll all move on with our lives.
In a year's time, COVID-19 will likely be just another seasonal cold. No more record profits for the pharmaceutical companies. No more kickbacks to politicians. No more sensationalist headlines for the media. Meanwhile, the rest of us will be fine.

@Rocky Mountain Way Wow, okay. We'll do this. "Return YouTube Dislike" was the best of the three for the most part. "Dislikes for YouTube" was the one working best on the last day they functioned (yesterday) before YouTube made some background changes that broke all three. It was no surprise that they were going to stop working at some point yesterday, as they advertised as much in their descriptions, at one point or another. Don't worry, though. They're actively working on trying to get around the new coding, so that those who choose to can again see the dislike count.
As for your claims about them only restoring dislikes to older videos, that was only true for about five minutes (not literally, so don't be stupid) before the better two (named above) received updates. At that point, all videos showed current dislike counts, no matter how old.
Of course, you likely read a half-assed article on some crappy tech site about them - back when they first hit the Web Store - so I'm sure you know more about it than someone who was actually using them for the past week...
I do like how you tried to skew the argument by asking about which one is "currently" working...after the cutoff point when they stopped working. I'm sure I was supposed to know less about it than you and as such, panic when I "found out" they weren't working any more. Oops, sorry. I guess I spoiled that one.
The funny thing is, with as hostile as you are about this, I have to assume you've got skin in the game. Are you one of the useless idiots at YouTube who came up with the terrible idea of getting rid of dislikes? Or are you one of the terrible content creators who benefit from it? If the latter, you know it's not going to stop you from seeing your dislikes, right? You'll still know you suck.
EDIT: And just like that, "Dislikes For YouTube" is already back to working properly. Proper tallies for all videos, new and old. I just thought I'd share, since you're so concerned about it.
