I'm confused now, I'm sure it was gone but it seems to be back? I just watched EEVblog 1438 - The TOP 5 Jellybean Regulators & References and it's got a dislike count.
They do this. Usually not rolling out an update worldwide. Or A/B testing search results, and seeing user engagement.
Maybe they track how many times you press dislike if you are shown the counter.

some people just cannot handle negative feedback, and we as society have to be so catering for them, otherwise those little snowflakes would crumble.

I think if they are going to hide the stats from the viewer they should also hide it from the content creator but that sounds to me just as ridiculous.
You think the movie director has access to the youtube account to see the dislikes?

I don't know about movie directors.

I forgot earlier after year that when Dave was recommending exploring other video platforms I actually copied some browser template profiles with shortcuts to auto sign into them and just found them...  ,Bitchute, Odysee and LBRY

The Odysee browser profile shortcut is all there and working. The only thing I'd like to get rid of is the gradient over the player controls and animations over the placeholders.

I'll just transfer my trust from that platform over to these platforms.


Just found this:

YouTube censored the livestreams of a number of independent law groups who were streaming the Kyle Rittenhouse trial Monday with commentary, briefly suspending their videos after Judge Bruce Schroeder dropped the Kenosha shooter’s charge of illegal possession of a firearm.  The tech giant intermittently suspended at least four different channels for a 20-minute period during the trial’s closing arguments, over what the company called 'policy violations' for using copyrighted audio – despite trial footage being in the public domain.  Once the company determined the videos were not in violation of copyright law, they were all back up and running. But law group, Rekieta Media, lost about 40,000 viewers - nearly half the people watching their video.  It is against YouTube's terms and conditions to use copyrighted content, meaning the site could suspend videos and streams that do. However, it's not clear what the company thought was copyrighted in the livestreams that it suspended or why it only cut out, intermittently, for about 20 minutes.  In addition to Rekieta Media, news group Law and Crime, video-streaming platform Odysee and right-of-center political commentator The Amazing Lucas had their streams suspended. All channels are either conservative-leaning or centrist, however liberal channels like CBS and PBS appeared to have no issues with their streams of the trial.


In a livestream featuring eight lawyers, Nick Rekieta, the group’s founder, says, ‘I got a warning that says, heads up, we’ve detected copyrighted audio in your stream, your stream might be temporarily blocked.’   The streams appears to cut in and out as Rekieta tries to determine what is happening and alternates between different coverage of the trial before one lawyer in the chat says, ‘This is not making any sense. They’re saying the court audio is copyrighted audio? This makes no sense.’  They continue switching between video of the trial, noting that PBS has stayed up the whole time, as the lawyer adds, ‘You can’t copyright public domain.’ Several minutes later, the issue is still interrupting their video as ReKieta says, ‘I don’t know how to articulate how angry I am right now. YouTube shut the stream down.’ Eventually, they get the stream up and running again, but not before noting that 40,000 viewers left during the technical difficulties. Rekieta Media tweeted at 12:10pm, as the stream was happening, ‘HEY @TeamYouTube YOU BLOCKED MY STREAM?!? FIX THIS SHIT.’




...

Addressing the YouTube suspensions, Carlson wrote, ‘Just minutes after the judge in the case dismissed the gun charge, YouTube, which is owned by Google, censored the video streams of several independent legal experts who were commenting on the trial in real time. These were knowledgeable attorneys, many of whom were critical of the obvious weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
...

Sounds to me Youtube are playing games.

The funny thing is (if you can call it that) they're doing the same thing with that dislike counter for empty/nonsensical reasons like in that "Update to YouTube's dislike count" video where the truth in the dislike counter is surpressed to the viewer.

YouTube dislikes count gets resurrected through a browser extension
By Zohaib Ahmed -Nov 19, 2021

Regardless, an innovative programmer has attempted to restore the function on YouTube by creating a browser extension for the same. It uses a YouTube API to generate the dislike count. The only catch here is that the API will be removing the dislikes property on December 13 or so, following which the extension will cease to work the way it currently does.


Joke: I think it will also be due for a re-brand. Why not call it YOUFOOL. Where the viewers are FOOLED into watching mass disapproved spammy/misleading content made to look positive at first with the counters that they set.

I have found this in the newspaper today:

Where Creativity rows
Learn more about YouTube's impact on
the creative economy at yt.be/impact.

I don't really remember coming across a YouTube advert like this before in the newspapers.

If it is not his own idea I wonder if they are using his image and others like him to try attract new viewers and creators on the platform.

The photo might be his idea, but the link is generic.
For me it goes to a page with a bunch of canadian youtubers, so its region specific.

Is it a protest, or is it a bunch of robots posting?
I had to clean up maybe a dozen times after robots in my videos. The worst offender was impersonating my account, leaving a reply to every comment in about two dozen videos, leading to a scam. Took me like 30 minutes to clean that up.

Looks like that might be the case with the bots doing the protesting:

Disappointing as that goes towards their justification of "targeted attacks".
