This is a good move YouTube. Well done. And it should serve as a lesson to Twitter to get rid of their stupid idea of downvotes on replies. https://t.co/HAY6cvf153

— Hadi Hariri (@hhariri) November 10, 2021

Publicly showing that lots of people dislike certain content sets a tone for your app.

I think it’s a good move for YouTube to remove such an obvious talisman of negativity from videos. Even Twitter with its “ratios” doesn’t go as far as dislike counts.https://t.co/lqcdaXjLya

We know not everyone will agree with this decision, but we believe it’s the right thing to do to make YouTube safer for creators to express themselves. To learn more about how we reached this decision, check out the blog or watch @YouTubeLiaison’s video → https://t.co/b6K9m2LSxn

— YouTube Creators (@YouTubeCreators) November 10, 2021

This literally solves nothing.
“Not public” means that creators will still see the amount of dislikes on their end which will just call for trolls to mass-dislike videos to see creators suffering mentally from a problem nobody else can see.

Because screw mental health, amiright? https://t.co/FttvCEQNuO

Don’t really have a problem with this change honestly. Most of the other socials don’t have a dislike button and they’re getting along fine

Besides if someone dislikes your shit, they’ll let you know in the comments anyways! Lol https://t.co/LlDvx9hrHH

YouTube removing the like/dislike ratio bar is criminal and maliciously evil. The erasure of the human opinion continues. https://t.co/06KYCsLdXL

it's true that dislike counts are good for avoiding wasting time watching bad tutorial videos, but that's a bigger problem with the YouTube algorithm. Genuinely bad videos shouldn't be getting pushed into search results

— Tom Warren (@tomwarren) November 10, 2021

This is terrible. Hiding the dislikes but still showing the likes? Talk about bias.

If one can be gamed, so can the other. Either make them trustworthy, or remove them both.

Imagine if Apple only removed negative App Store ratings. https://t.co/scsScTen1d

YouTube still malding their video was the most disliked of all time. https://t.co/9dC6RAdhAu

— Dan Stapleton (@DanStapleton) November 10, 2021

Those most happy about YouTube hiding public dislike counts tend to be creators, while those most frustrated seem to be users.

This is an observation, not a rule, but it shows who gains/loses most from the change.

It's also in line with Big Tech suddenly caring about creators. https://t.co/xcwtlgbHYl

— Emil Protalinski (@EPro) November 11, 2021

I feel like I’m the only one of my peers who supports this. Large companies can’t hide the backlash from the community. The smaller guy who is constantly getting shit on because he goes against the grain however? He’s dismissed the moment someone sees the sub and dislike count. https://t.co/iCS57WSqEz

— Scarlet Sprites (@ScarletSprites) November 10, 2021

YouTube is ditching the dislike count. You can still ? a video, but it'll be private feedback rather than public shaming. Good move from YouTube ? https://t.co/dDKwAQpz2m pic.twitter.com/ewgb8mpWqm

Removing the actual numbers that make us respond hamster-like to things is one of the ways to make social networks less problematic, as I wrote about in Social Warming - via @bengrosser. https://t.co/Qvt3r5a7PN

Such a dumbass policy and it has nothing to do with small creators https://t.co/uyMLQtnViK

First reaction is to HATE this decision, but I’m going to let it marinate over the next couple of weeks before deciding how I feel about it.

What do you think of the dislike counter being removed from YouTube? https://t.co/6VF2wndIUD

— Brandon Butch (@BrandonButch) November 10, 2021

if Twitter had a dislike button I’m pretty sure my tweet would be like 80% disliked ? https://t.co/dT6c0ehXXz

You could start by not letting YouTubers defame and slander other creators mercilessly without consequence and then maybe these targeted attacks would happen less? https://t.co/zhknDnuPSR

Hey @YouTube removing info from the rating system is NOT helpful. Public like/dislike ratio = Useful tool to see how helpful a video will be at a glance. Hiding dislikes helps nothing... but increases the # of ppl dissatisfied by spending too much time watching an unhelpful video https://t.co/PsqkVbis9X

— Marques Brownlee (@MKBHD) November 11, 2021

so, this means that disabling, or selectively deleting comments, allows one to completely silence negative feedback.

here’s a thread about the catastrophes that could entail from that. ? https://t.co/zwbDC7XX1Q

— Emery // Velvetune (@Velvetune) November 10, 2021

This seems like a horrifically bad idea, especially since dislikes can be used to mark obvious scams https://t.co/uMCfPYv4Xw

— Retroity (@Retroity) November 10, 2021

What was great about the dislike button was that no one could delete or moderate it. It helped display the true reception of something. Now brands and companies will just delete any negative comments and there will be absolutely no public metric to rely on. Complete censorship. https://t.co/UZxMrr4KMI

— Chadtronic (@Chadtronic) November 10, 2021

I guess every video on YouTube is good content now. Sure how are we supposed to know when you’re hiding half of the voting system. Scammers, click baiters and advertisers are gonna love this. https://t.co/XshWYjlHIO

— DeeBeeGeek (@Deebeegeek26) November 11, 2021

This is kind of lame. I think dislike ratios can be helpful and reflect a populist sentiment. Medium ones usually mean something is controversial. High ones usually mean something is either wrong, really bad, or represents some related scandal going on.https://t.co/ijCp8UTsAO

— Stryxo (@Stryxo) November 10, 2021

I 100% agree with this.

A lot of the times when we do a device vs device comparison, no matter how fair the comparison is, fans of the losing side would mass dislike the video.

Removing some toxicity from YouTube will positively help the mental health of content creators. https://t.co/eshAPnmUlG

I wasn't supportive of this change until I saw the stories -- from lots of new and small creators trying to make it. Let's give them a better chance. I explain in this video?https://t.co/kt7i2glTUg

— Matt Koval (@YouTubeLiaison) November 10, 2021

Earlier this year we launched an experiment making the dislike count private. Based on what we learned, the dislike button is staying, but the *count* is now private to creators (in Studio) to help prevent targeted dislike attacks. → https://t.co/z46zI8SfiW

— YouTube Creators (@YouTubeCreators) November 10, 2021

To reduce targeted dislike attacks & their impact on creators (esp on smaller creators), you’ll no longer see a public dislike *count* on YouTube starting today (the dislike button is staying).

This comes after lots of research, testing & consideration → https://t.co/mJWDJSSRoG
