Put down your pitchforks — Google’s not hiding YouTube’s dislike button
At least, not where it matters.
Recent reports have surfaced suggesting that the dislike button on YouTube videos has been mysteriously hidden away. Google has now confirmed that this change is only applicable to users who have uploaded their own videos. This development adds another contentious issue to the ever-present debate between YouTube and its users. The platform has faced consistent criticism for its interface changes, often met with strong opposition from viewers.
The latest controversy surrounding the dislike button's disappearance might not be as significant as it initially seemed. Users who encountered the issue noticed that the dislike option had been moved to a three-dot overflow menu, requiring an additional tap to access. Although this alteration may seem like an effort to discourage negative feedback, it is important to note that Google's explanation puts the matter to rest.
