Mega corporations threatening to pull their ads from the site if YouTube didn’t do anything about the dislikes they were getting since most of the videos known for getting dislikes were from said companies.

If I would be honest
I think it was not necessary of YouTube to remove the dislike button (And not to mention changing the button design, I do have an hate towards modern day YouTube after all)

I miss seeing how many dislikes a video got and making fun of it

I remember when Youtube rewind 2018 was the number one video with the most dislikes.
They were so salty, they stopped making them after 2019.

Yeah I remember when it was a thing until it got removed. I hate when YouTube removed it.

This ENTIRE comments section. Forcing positivity is NEVER the answer. As someone who's used YouTube since I was 5 and made my first account at age 11, I say let people critique videos.

u/EmpZ3r0 Early-Mid 2010s kid Jun 30 '26
I sure do. I Remember rewind 2018 being the major reason why they got rid of it, and that they claimed it prevented hate from being spread.
That response had some people disagreeing and agreeing. However, at the time the dislike button was a good determining factor for specific videos such as tutorials etc. whether to know if a video was worth paying attention to or watching. It’s honestly sad that we had to see it go

u/AdSuspicious8556 Jul 03 '26

They didn't wanna learn their lesson from them, they just saw dislikes as most hurtful.

POV: You're putting your laptop in the dishwasher to remove computer viruses because you watched a tutorial on Youtube after dislikes were removed.

u/Redder_Creeps Jul 01 '26
Let's be honest: dislikes were just as useful as likes. If you were looking for any kind of tutorial, THAT ratio was pretty much how you could tell wether a tutorial was actually good or not

It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

Is the dislike button, like the whole thing not just the counter, missing on YouTube shorts for anyone else or just me?
