???? In response to creator feedback around well-being and targeted dislike campaigns, we're testing a few new designs that don't show the public dislike count. If you're part of this small experiment, you might spot one of these designs in the coming weeks (example below!).

For years, YouTube has allowed viewers to rate the videos on the site using either the “like” or “dislike” icons. But only now has the Google-owned video platform gotten the message that the thumbs-down button might be a means of bullying individual YouTube users.

YouTube on Tuesday announced that it has launched a “small experiment” to test several new designs that do not display a public dislike count. That came in response “to creator feedback around well-being and targeted dislike campaigns,” YouTube explained in a tweet.

They also don't want people to know how incredibly unpopular some things are.

Why do I have the feeling only progressive tubers will have the dislike disabled, and not conservatives?

Everyone should start commenting “Thumbs down” instead.

Absolutely pathetic that in today's ultra-pussified liberal society can clicking a thumbs down button on a video be considering "bullying". FFS.

More specifically, they want to hide anyone showing displeasure with the prog narrative.

Disagreeing with anyone over anything is considered bullying by certain people in society.

Translation - They don’t want people to know that Biden’s approval ratio is so far underwater that BP tried to drill it.

YouTube will just autoflag any response like that as spam and then suspend the account doing it

This is so frickin pathetic. Jack Dorseys first interview with Joe Rogan probably spearheaded this shite.
