Regarding the recent announcement from Google & creators' alleged requests, should YouTube let uploaders hide only the dislike count? Is this anyway linked to the millions of dislikes on The White House videos? Isn't this same as Netflix not showing the ratings to public after Amy Schumer's meltdown? https://twitter.com/youtube/status/1376942493481193475
This is all about the Biden administration being embarrassed about how disliked they are.
Ding ding ding
Uploaders can already disable dislikes.
They have to disable likes as well. But this update let the uploaders to disable only dislikes.
By disabling likes and dislikes they are removing any sort of bias people might have while deciding wether to like or dislike a video. By disabling dislikes only they are trying to induce a positive bias that favors them and hence I think itโs a shit idea.
