A few Days Ago YouTube World officially announced it will stop all the dislike count options on all YouTube videos to prevent content creators' interest from targeted dislike attacks from the haters and online trolls. Youtube also clarified it is not doing it simply because Youtube Rewind got crores of dislike and online abuses from people around the world.
This change will be live in a couple of days, and the video of YouTube where the announcement of the same was done has a lot of dislikes more than like irony, I guess.
personal note: Youtube creators have already been given the option to hide like and dislike count. I don't think this move is required.
Dislike Count on Youtube Rewind in millions
Let's consider the Positive Side of Youtube Decision to Hide Dislike Count
1. Positivity on Youtube
Motivation to small and influential creators to express their thoughts more clearly, without being harassed.
2. To Motivate Content Creators
Many dislikes even demotivate many content creators to go into depression or lose trust in their art or knowledge which they want to share with their viewers.
3. Double or Increase in Youtube content creators
The number of content creators will increase because the fear of being judged is gone. They can freely create the content, so many introverted content creators will join the space and create videos.
4. Reduce the gang Mindset on Youtube
Many news agencies and researchers find dislikes are part of a group or community to demotivate the content creators to share the information, which might be truthful or wrong. As dislike count decreases, these combined attacks to dislike the video will decrease. This way, the interest of content creators will be safeguarded.
