For whatever reason, I see a large majority down voting a video. I can then use my own judgement to speculate on the reasoning.

What's the "game"?

You don’t think it is odd that the average video on YouTube gets 1-5% reactions to views and this one is at 33%?

when you examine the video being reacted to, the reaction doesn't seem odd at all.

Why do you considered that ratio "gamed"? Seems like a normal reaction to deplorable behavior. Calling it "gamed" kind of proves the point that this is about silencing actual criticism of actual bad behavior rather than some poor innocent creator getting slammed by random internet mobs looking for scalps. How do you defend her buying herself an award in a transparent attempt to paste over her behavior?

>gamed by an Internet mob

What game? People almost universally didn't like a CEO giving herself an award.
