I just noticed today that Youtube returned the "Dislike Count" on videos. They're really catering to the noises on the internet that have been made the past month rather than doing what they believe is right for their own platform. Can't believe they actually listened to the collective moaning of the internet and returned this Dislike Count secretly. What do you think about this pussy move by Youtube?

EDIT: Nvm, this thread is a fluke. My browser extension is automatically updated to show Dislike Count

don't raise your hopes, they removed the dislike count for only some channels, for 2 people out of 10, it wasn't removed at all, mostly small creators with less than 100k followers still having it.

They didn't. I checked a few videos and they all have the dislike count hidden. This includes Joey, Phone Repair Guru, and Chubbyemu.

I do not see dislikes currently. They must still be still implementing the dislike count removal. For corporations, no way dislike count will remain public.

That's interesting but it is false, even the small channels have the dislike counter hidden, as I've checked on my own channel and the channels of other people from bannerlord community which most of us including me have 200-400 subs all of us still have it hidden, I know that there is a plugin or an addon/extension for chrome to make it unhidden etc. but in vanilla it hides on everysingle video you enter x)

I just use the extension to put them back. For some reasons I don't think Youtube Enhancer has the correct numbers. I don't know how it works it's weird.

Yes I see what you have written, and I said I checked by tens and so far even encountered more of at least 100+ channels and NONE of them had the dislike counter, so I don't know what kind of channels do I have to find to see that magical dislike counter appear again, the channeles which has 14-20 subs only ?

And btw I said it is "false" from what I experienced but I never said that "all" small channels have hidden dislikes, I said I "checked the channels of[...] bannerlord community [...]".

Nah, not really, still valid since YouTube started sucking a long time ago.

Miss the days of Broadcasting Yourself and when people first freaked out over the brand new like-dislike buttons back in the day.
Sure, 10-minute time limits kinda suck, but I would kinda take that over the stupid copystrike bots and whatever other shit pisses me off nowadays...

also i downloaded a dislike viewer extension too

I personally never cared about the dislike count being invisible. Some argue this helped them to decide if the video is shit or actually worth watching, but it never helped me: I could like a heavily-disliked video or not care about one with no dislikes.

Honestly I'm not a content creator nor I cared about seeing the amount of likes/dislikes but it's unfortunate for me to not be able to indicate whether the video is bad or not but I still don't understand why they remove it :/

Thats right. The reason is thumbs down will mean more negative to Youtube and having te thumbs down removed then its less of complainining from users

I see it on some videos, but i mostly see it missing on videos with democrats, like anytime Biden makes a speech.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

This is to appease corporations making shitty and sometimes hateful products like Santa Inc, which is thankfully universally despised by pretty much everyone. No one but corporations wanted this.
