In other words, the company will be making the public dislike count private across YouTube.
To ensure respectful interactions between viewers and creators, YouTube has decided to hide the dislike counts.
As part of this experiment, viewers could still see and use the dislike button.
In short, our experiment data showed a reduction in dislike attacking behavior.
Further, viewers can still dislike videos to tune theirrecommendationsand privately share feedback with creators.
The only change is that the viewers wont be able to view the number of dislikes on the video.
This is just one of many steps we are taking to continue to protect creators from harassment.
Our work is not done, and well continue to invest here, it concluded.
Starting Wednesday, YouTube has gradually begun rolling out the change.
