Watch: Ardern Harvard speech ‘Ratioed’ on YouTube

YouTube Ratioed news

While the Prime Minister’s Harvard Commencement Address this week was well-received by its ‘liberal woke’ audience at the Ivy League establishment, it seems kiwis had a different view of it.

  • According to CoronavirusPlushie, videos of the speech on the NZ Herald and NewsHub YouTube channels received more ‘dislikes’ than ‘likes’ – known as ‘being ratioed’.

YouTube recently changed its policy and made video dislikes visible only to the content creator, and not the public as they previously had been. However, in this video CoronavirusPlushie explains there is a workaround available which allows you to see the number of dislikes. When applying the workaround to the NZ Herald and NewsHub videos it shows New Zealanders were less than impressed by the PM’s sermon on ’empathy and kindness’.

It’s not the first time Ardern has been ratioed – in November her speech to the Labour Party Conference suffered the same treatment.

  1. The number of dislikes has rocketed since this video was madeo, they are currently standing at 4.3k dislikes to 3.2 likes (for the NZ Herald video), and, get this . . . 731 dislikes to 133 likes for the Newshub video!

  2. What she never says directly to Kiwis she’ll blurt out to the politically-correct masses offshore that support the WEF, NWO and their ilk.
    She never met with Trump…
    But now, with this horrendous offshore performance (especially at Harvard), ALL Kiwis now know her unspoken agenda, and what she has planned for us IN THE EVENT SHE GETS RE-ELECTED!!!!!!!!!!
    Let’s make sure that this doesn’t happen.
    And Luxom and the National Party are no better, and I suspect that the same is still under the influence of John Key & the International Zionist Banksters.
    Similar to Obama running the White House from behind the scenes.
    Look for Obama to possibly return w/ either K amala or Hellary as a Demoncrat running mate, so that the destruction of the U.S. can be completed under Obama’s socialist / communist agenda!

  3. I did not watch the speech, the video of which is peppered repeatedly throughout You Tube. I would rather stickeep pins in myour eyes, than be insulted by her lies and downright evil intent. But I WAS interested to see the comments, and was initially stumped by reading nothing but adulation. The penny dropped immediately though, that this had to be the Marxist You Tube administrators censoring negative comments. Thank you, Daily Telegraph, for confirming my suspicions.
