Recently, social networks have been talking more and more about the idea of abandoningdislikes.And if they have been seen in this before,

Facebook and Instagram, YouTube has now joined them.

An entry appeared on the official Google blog, according to which the search giant has been testing hiding negative ratings under video in recent months.

The essence of the experiment was that wekept the Dislike button under the video player, but hid the flag counter from users. As a result, there are fewer “Dislike” marks. The experiment also confirmed the words of the authors themselves that, among other things, niche and new channels are subject to coordinated attacks.

As a result, Google decided to hide the counter of dislikes fromviewers - only the author of the video will have access to them. It is important to understand that viewers, as before, will be able to leave marks, influencing, among other things, recommendations.
