    UA-cam recently made the startling decision to take away the public dislike count on all videos. A video by Matt Koval on the UA-cam Creators channel explained the action as if it was a small thing we will get used to, since "other websites don't even have a dislike button", but the issue here is that other websites are not like UA-cam, which happens to be the 2nd biggest search engine in the world, home to a lot of how to videos, tutorials, and advice videos where a rating system is crucial to aiding the viewer discern between what is and what isn't trustworthy. In short, hiding dislikes across UA-cam is a terrible move. In this video we discuss why.

    The fact that they remove dislikes actually causes smaller channels to be suspected of bad ratings, because you can only see half of the story for what the videos are worth.
    UA-cam, in the attempt of "protecting smaller channels", has instead shot every small channel's foot.

    The thing with removing disliking, is that people will take the next step. If people can't dislike, they will send angry comments, or worse. Removing the dislike feature will actually make things more toxic, rather than the intended effect of making things more friendly. It's like going in a friendly fight but someone says "You can't use your hands for this fight", in that case, dropkicks and broken teeth will be the norm.

    In my opinion, disliking a youtube video is encouraging the creator to produce better quality videos. And if people don't like criticisms, then either don't start UA-cam at all,or hide the dislike count on you're video. UA-cam removing the dislike count was a really nasty and honestly selfish move, considering they did it because the UA-cam rewind 2018 became even more disliked than Baby.
    You know what's even more stupid than anything else UA-cam has done? That content creators can still see the dislike count,but regular viewers can't. Why go though the effort ( and controversy) to hide it from us,but keep it for UA-camrs,who are probably more affected by dislikes than we are. It just doesn't make sense in my eyes.
    What they should have done is provide an option that let's us enable and disable the dislike count at any time,for both UA-camrs and regular viewers. That way, if the video's creator feels bad for the amount of dislikes, they can disable it,and then re-enable once they start producing videos that are well-liked. And we could still see the dislikes.
    I hope one day UA-cam will come to thier senses,and bring back the dislike count. With this change, they're telling us that disliking a video is " mean",wich is completely false,since if UA-cam rewind 2018 never happened,the dislike would still be here. 👎🏻

    I totally agree, and I’d like to add another point. In removing the dislike button, they don’t “save” small creators from getting their feelings hurt - after all the dislikes are still visible to them. What it DOES do, however, is change the audience’s perception of a video. Keep in mind that CHILDREN make up the majority of the audience on UA-cam - with their overall lack in critical thinking skills and desire to just go along to what other say, they may see a couple thousand likes and think “oh I should agree with this video” even if there’s hundreds of thousands of dislikes that are hidden from view. This is a pretty dangerous tool and will definitely by used to spread misinformation and create false narratives. Great video!

    This reminds me of when they did this for comments. They love pretending it lessened “bullying” which essentially forced people to use words to show their distaste. All that did is create more engagement on videos.. which pushed the content.
    They know what they’re doing. Because they suggest the button still works… but nobody can see the count… which makes people assume there’s no post so they don’t even bother with the dislikes.
    As far as videos go, it’s the same thing. They just paint it different as if the dislike button never meant anything. When it was still around, that was a warning sign that the video you’re watching.. is likely gonna be something you don’t enjoy. Whenever I saw videos with more dislikes than likes, I didn’t like the video 100% of the time.
    They definitely could care less about smaller channels. Removing the dislike count for comments and videos just doubles the engagement. That also allows the stupid creators who thrive off controversial content. Like that guy who makes trillions of videos that always puts “3AM!” In the title or acting like someone died or whatever stupid clickbait they use.
    If they lowered the cost for premium, I would likely never complain again. But they gotta milk whatever money they can get. Okay I’m done venting.

    As a VERY small creator (yknow, the people yt are "protecting") I will say that removing dislikes is bullshit. I want to see the criticism I receive. Because it helps me know what kind of content people want to see. Just like you said in the video. Dislikes are in my opinion, the most IMPORTANT feature ANY streaming service should have. It lets people know if the video is worth watching, again, as you (and many others) said. And if you take that away, suddenly, extreme cases of illegal things happen. Like scams, tutorials that set peoples houses on fire. Just to name a couple

Other creators, that don’t just pump out garbage, will make their own smaller, more niche sites. Maybe one for gaming, one for tutorials, for news, educational stuff, memes, etc. This has already kinda happened with Nebula, which was started by a team of smaller UA-camrs, like Real Life Lore, Wendover Productions, etc. UA-cam will probably not even bother competing with them; it would be like Walmart competing with Home Depot.
