I came across that Youtube is now stopping to show dislikes on videos. I am not talking about videos where the likes are also hidden. I mean in general, so no mather if you upload a video or see videos of whatever channel, it only will show you the likes
I saw coments on a German tech-website about it where many people said that this is a wrong move by Youtube because:
- It will push unusfull tutorials since people can't see no more that they are about to get scammed
- The owner of the video can also filter coments they don't like so a actually not working video will look more like if it should work since people can make their content look more usefull by not having bad coments and no dislikes
- It will mostly infect young children and teenager who don't know that the content of a video can be harmfull to them when they don't see dislikes
- The content creators can make themself act more powerfull wich in the worst case can make that they pretend that whatever nonsense they do it would be cool and stuff since nobody can see how many people disliked the video
The only usefull point is of cause: people who desperatly want to hate on a creater for whatever reason can't dislike the videos anymore, wich is good, but it has a lot negative downsites for many people
IDK if all countries have the dislikes don't showing allready, but I noticed it under 6 MV and 2 docutmentations that the dislikes are gone allready.
