I think most people are confused about the "like/dislike." I think most "dislike" the JW message. They don't 'dislike' that you posted up on YouTube. The awareness is great input. Hopefully many JWs will be watching this summer on the YouTube and choose to not get the WTS copy at all. The members can save their money and if there's not enough money/donations to the WTS for it, then the WTS won't do it again!

Really, if this thing takes off and becomes viral it won't matter how many dislikes it has. For some things, the worse something is, the better it performs.
I wouldn't worrry about trying to bump it up. People viewing and linking to it will counterbalance the dislikes.

Yeah I've heard that dislikes make it popular as well. It mostly depends on views.

Another reason I felt compelled to Dislike it (besides the fact that it's yet another manipulative product of JW origin) is that I was concerned that JWs who see a lot of Likes would interpret it as a favorable reaction to the Organization's teachings.*
Incidentally, there were several separate postings of the video and I paid no attention to who loaded it.
* While reading the Comments would reveal that most viewers have a negative reaction, the Comments were disabled on two of the three uploads that I watched.

I don't think the title helps your cause. Without reading your comments there's no way to know this is supposed to be a commentary on the JWs and not a post by a JW trying to promote their religion.

Might not have to worry about it soon. Sparlock vids on utube have been pulled by the WTBTS.

It says that the video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by the Watchtower bibler and tract society of pennsylvania.
