poorly drawn stuff until @YouTube brings back the dislike count, also unofficially labelled as Poorly Drawn Comics, is, as the "title" suggests, a daily once-a-day webcomic series of "poorly drawn" short comics created by ParashockX until YouTube brings back the dislike count. The series serves mainly as a source of Take That! content against YouTube's poor management at maintaining his services in their own website (and also cons on other websites as well).
It all started with a ParashockX video where he talks about the matter of YouTube taking away the dislike count, and how he wants (along with many other people) to make the website see (one of) the errors of his ways and finally bring the dislike count back. Since then, he dedicated to post this comics on the platform's posts every day to date.
The series mostly follows the misadventures of Orange, Blue and Green, as they have to stand YouTube's (portrayed as a humanoid with the website's logo for a head) stupidity and poor decisions he's making nonstop.
ParashockX also posts comics made by his Patreon followers and even does crossovers with other YouTube channels. He even has dubs of some of his comics made by himself in the form of YouTube Shorts.
Beside his YouTube posts, the comics can also be seen on his Twitter account.

Day X of tropes until @YouTube brings back the dislike count:
- April Fools' Day: Day 12600 (actually day 126) shows YouTube telling Blue that he was reconsidering and came to the conclusion of finally bringing back the dislike count... on 1st of April. Blue doesn't take that very kindly. Cue YouTube's "oh shit...".
- Author Avatar: Winston, one of Parashock's avatars, is one of the recurring characters in the series since his first appearance in day 45, and is about as pissed at YouTube as almost everyone else in the comics despite his smile.
- Big Guy, Little Guy: While the term "big" is a bit of a stretch because of how short Blue is compared to the websites, him and Orange were basically the tall and short duo, respectively, until Green came in day 243.
- Brick Joke: Reddit checking on Twitter after Musk bought it. Day 336 versus Day 357.
- Good Counterpart: YouTube has an alternate counterpart called "Evil" YouTube, who actually listens to his users. YouTube has this to say to him when he first met him in day 9:
- Growing Muscles Sequence: A temporal Running Gag was that the Intern was growing muscles since day 418. He said that his secret to this was that everytime YouTube makes one mistake, he does only one push-up. Even "Evil YouTube" followed his trainig and became muscular. The Intern stopped in day 457, though, since Winston said he couldn't fit him in the comic panels anymore because he grew muscles so much.
- Honest Advisor: Orange and Blue (and even Winston) tells, among many complains, also some ideas for YouTube about improving some of his various errors. It may or may not work.
- Insult Backfire: It seems there're many websites that wants to actually be worst than the competitors. Besides YouTube, we have Facebook and Twitter in day 342 (and apparently Musk about Twitter in day 449) and Netflix in day 441.
- Ironic Name: "Evil YouTube", YouTube's Good Counterpart. Even the Intern points this out in day 153.
- I Wish It Were Real: Winston says this to "Evil" YouTube in day 373:Winston: I wish you existed outside the comic.
- Perpetual Smiler:
- Green has a smile plastered on his face almost all the time, even when nervous or scared. There was only one time when he stopped smiling, and it was in day 448.
- As described in the ParashockX page, Winston is also this. His smile is the only thing that stays still in the comics, as he emotes just like everybody else.
- Green has a smile plastered on his face almost all the time, even when nervous or scared. There was only one time when he stopped smiling, and it was in day 448
- Shout-Out: There are a lot of references to memes in the comics. One example is in day 37, where the whole comic references the Boardroom Suggestion meme.
- Stupid Evil: Thanks to YouTube's only caring about getting money by any means and having disinterest about his own community (and even sadistically enjoying it), his own website is falling apart, have spam bots and NSFW content spreading around (despite of him saying he cares about the children and said community) and, despite the channels having nowhere else to get away from him without losing money and followers, this only helps him in getting Hated by All. What's more is that he appears to actually like getting "awarded" or considered the worst at making decisions, in the first place.
