NOBODY:
YOUTUBE COMMENT'S DISLIKE BUTTON:
I serve no purpose.
Overview
This is a popular 'Nobody:' format meme joking about YouTube's policy change that hides public dislike counts on comments and videos.

The joke highlights that after YouTube removed public display of dislike counts, the dislike button lost its main functional purpose for most users. It uses a scene from the film The Death of Stalin where a character delivers the deadpan line while shaking hands.
