But yes, a few SJW's were also some of the complainers, which is why it was made the focus of the public excuse.

So who were the main complainers and why would they give rat's ass in the first place?
Reminder that the votes still exist, they just aren't shown to the proles.

Yes, and they lied, it's not to protect creators, because creators still get bombarded with the dislike count every day.

For the record, protecting creators' fragile egos by hiding the information from them wasn't really the official goal. The stated goal was to protect creators' fragile egos by discouraging downvote bombing in the first place, by reducing its effectiveness. And they have AB tests to "prove" that it works, or at any rate appeared to work before everyone knew what's going on, because I'm sure that if you want to troll/downrank/annoy a specific creator, you can still do it and all the trolls know it well.

Whether they really believe the above or not, what I'm saying is that the downvote raids bother YT as much as they bother their big customers, because they too often affect sorts of content that YT is as much happy to promote as the legacy media, be it for political or financial reasons. They are all one nest of snakes and I doubt that much external coercion was necessary to produce this change.

They very specifically said in the video and demonstrated it with screen shots that they were hiding away the dislike count so that creators would have to go to specifically extra effort to find it. They lied, that isn't the case as I demonstrated in my video.

Now, how do we convince Google to get rid of that horrible c-slur for those of us having a traditional biological gender identity?
By c-slur, I of course mean "cis". :'(
Words cannot express the depth of my hurt and sadness whenever I see that slur thrown around like it was nothing.
Why is it that my emotions do not matter?

I agree. I have to restrain myself from retaliating with another c-word.
