YouTube has decided to get rid of showing the dislike counter to general audiences, only making it visible to the video’s uploader. The stated hope is that users get used to it very quickly.
The company signaled their interest in this change months ago, revealing their initial foray in testing the change to the dislike button’s functionality earlier this year.
In the official blog post announcing the change, YouTube said their experiments in hiding the dislike button caused people to click it less. They also said input from “smaller creators and those just getting started that they are unfairly targeted by this behavior” went into the company’s final decision.
“We want to create an inclusive and respectful environment where creators have the opportunity to succeed and feel safe to express themselves. This is just one of many steps we are taking to continue to protect creators from harassment. Our work is not done, and we’ll continue to invest here.”

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
