Topic	YouTube is removing the public "dislike" counter
EclairReturns 11/23/21 11:41:37 PM #89:	Muscles posted... Why not just get rid of the dislike button altogether then? Precisely my thoughts. If clicking on the button does not increment any visible counter of any sort, then why include it at all? Though, I presume the YouTube lot must still collect and sell data, I suppose. Even so, I assume most of the YouTube userbase uses the like-dislike feature of the video database website mostly because they want their opinion on a given video to be heard, without expending much effort. If this assumption is correct, then I foresee the dislike button disappearing sometime in the future, because the removal of the visible dislike-counter negates most of the point in clicking on the button in question. --- Number XII: Larxene.
