YouTube will hide the dislikes counter

YouTube will stop displaying the number of dislikes for videos from November 10

Youtube video hosting announced that from November 10th it will hide dislikes under all videos. This is reported on the platform's website.

The “Dislike” button itself will remain, however, only the content authors will be able to see the number of negative reactions posted. The company noted that this decision is aimed at ensuring that channels with a small audience are not attacked or harassed because of hostility. The rules are also designed to promote “respectful interaction between viewers and creators.”

For the first time, the service thought about such an opportunity in the spring of 2021. Then it turned out that it turned out that users are less likely to click on the “Dislike” button if the site does not display statistics.
