YouTube Making “Dislikes” Hidden From Public View Across Entire Platform

At YouTube, we strive to be a place where creators of all sizes and backgrounds can find and share their voice. To ensure that YouTube promotes respectful interactions between viewers and creators, we introduced several features and policies to improve their experience. And earlier this year, we experimented with the dislike button to see whether or not changes could help better protect our creators from harassment, and reduce dislike attacks — where people work to drive up the number of dislikes on a creator’s videos.

We’re making the dislike counts private across YouTube, but the dislike button is not going away. This change will start gradually rolling out today.

We are primarily funded by readers. Please subscribe and donate to support us!
