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 other words, this is flame bait that people can read into whatever they want to confirm their biases. With a heavy dose of partisan editorializing ("Disgusting!").

At best, it shows a need for more principled study from someone else.
