I don't know much about this but aren't these often the worst liked videos of all time often because YouTube keeps abusing their powers? The amount of centralization in the YouTube platform has in general lead to many aggregious overreaches of power. Democratizing power of online platforms with blockchain is probably one of the best solutions but that would require a lot of money to build and probably create a slightly slower platform which isn't exactly a popular idea. But it would be better in the long run. I'm glad there's some attempts to do that here on Steemit.
