    Idk if we'd even be able to make our show without the UA-cam tutorials we've used to learn new equipment and troubleshoot software. Hopefully they revert this decision. It seems like a short-sighted profit-over-people maneuver- the kind that we're all too familiar with.

    Being a college student, the removal of dislikes heavily affects my ability to find good videos that help me understand a topic I am having difficulty learning. I am a graduate student in medical physics and I often seek additional help because its very challenging. The like to dislike ratio saves me so much valuable time; I cannot waste time finding out if a video is good or not.

    "The ability to easily and quickly identify bad content is an essential feature of a user-generated content platform. Why? Because not all user-generated content is good. It can't be. In fact, most of it is not good. And that's OK. The idea was never that all content is good. The idea WAS, however, that among the flood of content, there are great creations waiting to be exposed. And for that to happen, the stuff that's not great has to fall by the side as quickly as possible.
    The process works, and there's a name for it: the wisdom of the crowds. The process breaks when the platform interferes with it. Then, the platform invariably declines. Does UA-cam want to become a place where everything is mediocre? Because nothing can be great if nothing is bad."
    - Jawed, the original creator of UA-cam.
    What he is basically saying is that without the Like-Dislike system (that he created) users won't be able to know whats good content, or bad content. And if that happens, everything medicore will pop up in the reccomendations, which won't entertain the viewers which will also hurt new upcoming content creators. UA-cam has no choice but to bring the dislike buttons back, otherwise, believe it or not, a different video platform will takeover UA-cam.

    What a simple, easy way to communicate what a disaster of a decision this is!
    UA-cam is always trying to protect their bottom line. But it's rare they make a decision that comes as a detriment to BOTH the audience and the creators, in a way that was so obviously done to protect brands and advertisers. Thanks for making this! Hopefully someone in charge actually listens and chooses to favor the creators on this creator-driven platform.

      Great comment and I totally agree, but we all know how they view and value things on the platform(profits above everything else). This facebook-like scenario where you only have a like and no dislike is great in the eyes of the "enterprise culture". It just works for them and helps them with all the ads. They will start caring for the users only when an alternative to youtube pops up and people start leaving the platform. Until then it will only get worse worse. More ads and annoying daily pop-ups and less features. Sadly youtube has become the modern TV and the youtube we knew as creator-driven platform is dead.

      the spread misinformation is rampant on mainstream media, facebook, twitter, and youtube and its very VERY profitable so i guess youtube is doubling down on it. so for example when an uninformed viewer see a video defending vaccine mandates and doesn't know that channel is directly funded by biotech firms it will be harder to tell its propaganda.
      this move to hide the dislikes protects cooperate interests and strengthens propaganda outlets which makes billions from cooperate funding.

    For all my years of being on youtube, there have been very few examples of when I haven't agreed with the like to dislike ratio of a video. Taking away that comparison from users only makes it harder to positively engage users, people want the best content they can find and they'll validate their opinions with the like-dislike ratio

    Dude, I just disliked the video out of curiosity, and it popped up a message saying "feedback shared with creator." Protecting creators mental health? Bullshit.
