This is a scandal regardless of administration. That's why it's on the front page on Hacker News and being written about by major media publications.
I should add, "this would be seen as a much bigger deal and harped on extensively".

CNNs drop in ratings would beg to differ.
I have no idea what that has to do with an imagined scandal... over youtube down votes... like none.

Do you think that's hypocritical? Trump and his most visible supporters made provocation and mockery a hallmark of their style, so of course people react more strongly to whatever they do. It would be unrealistic to expect otherwise.

You said no one would care other than twitter. However cnn made it's money the past four years sensationalizing everything about the previous administration, so that is evidence that people other than twitter care.. CNN's former viewers.
Let alone how that ties to its ratings.
You're out in the weeds with these characterizations and connections.

The left wasn't keeping track of how many of their dislikes were removed from the previous administration. Why not? Because it was a pitiful and legit amount. That's why! Think!
Do you have any supporting evidence of this? Unrelated to the topic, from your comments and post, you seem like you are a rather smart person, but you are also accepting a lot of negativity in your life. I really do suggest you disconnect for a bit from TV, news, and the Internet and look for creative outputs for your energy that aren't Red vs Blue.
If I would own 81m.org site which only purpose is to monitor whitehouse youtube channel (very specific) and believed that the end justifies the means, why wouldn't I hire a botnets to help with that effort?
If my botnet works I can show that general population is dissatisfied. If youtube removes my spam I can use that to show that YouTube is partisan. Either way I win.
Can you imagine how much of "scandal" this would have been if this happened during the last administration?
It just silly. Regular people who are interested in politics care about actual laws passed, relationships with other nations etc, not some yotube, twitter, fb wars.

If this is the biggest thing the right media can sensationalize, I say the current administration is doing pretty damn good.
The tone in this is... Less than stellar. This is standard operating procedure, mainly dealing with deleted accounts, and reducing spam or bot actions on the site. 3.9M removed over the course of 500+ videos for a global account for one of the largest countries isn't all that surprising. They also remove likes and comments for spam reasons as well, which this "article" (if you can call it that) just so happened to ig…
This is presented in a way that infers political partisanship, but without any evidence for or against that argument. - No statistics for previous administration's like/dislike removal rate. Was it lower? Higher? We don't know. - No statistics for YouTube like/dislike removal rates on other kinds of political or non-political videos. Maybe this is extraordinary behavior for YouTube, or maybe not. We don't know. In ot…
