    Usually I access the pages of youtube videos for the purpose of getting information about the video (as opposed to actually watching the video) through a script of my own. One of the things it displayed until recently was the rating of a video. Basically somewhere on the source of the video page there would be something like

    "averageRating":"4.9422383"

    They recently disabled "disliking" a video, to prevent hurting people's feelings, probably the rating had to go for the same reasons?

    YT seems to have disabled the dislike function
    at all, so people can't say "I don't like that" anymore.

    You can still click dislike, but it doesn't show the world how many people have done so.

    That is what some channel operator wanted: Others can't see anymore
    that I video is being disliked by many people.

    It's the dumbing down of all nations: as we knew when these things were still studied, likes vs dislikes is the minimum level of user rating whose aggregation becomes info for exploration: and they are gradually dismantling any of it from all platforms,
    not just YouTube that's actually been resisting for longer than others, since we brainwashed slaves can only like stuff, buy it, eat it, and die... It's about the extinction of thinking: of the very idea of any understanding, or judgment, or critical
    thinking and of course, God forbid, of any dissent.

    But people won't get it: for every sociopathic genocidal cunt who runs this planet, there are millions of retarded pieces of shit who keep making that possible. I am indeed vouching for a mass extinction proper, as a whole we are a cosmic cancer and
    disgrace.

    Happy forgetting,

    The opposite: the creator of the video can still see the number of dislikes.
    If they were offended by that before, they still will be.

    The difference is that an organised dislike campaign doesn't get any gratification from seeing the dislike count rise, and YT hope this will reduce the impact of campaigns to remove revenue from creators through using
    the dislike feature as a weapon, like an inverse petition.
    Snowflake protection your ass, but with this follow up we are back to the fraudulent cunts realm proper.

    Enjoy,

    Actually, fuck you retarded cunts, eat your own shit and die.
