Jacksepticeye, MoistCr1TiKaL, Drew Gooden, more slam YouTube over new \u2018Dislike\u2019 changes YouTube \/ Jacksepticeye \/ Drew GoodenTeam YouTube is experimenting with a new direction for the popular site\u2019s \u2018Dislike\u2019 button, and it\u2019s already getting heat from YouTubers like Jacksepticeye, AngryJoeShow, Drew Gooden and more. The site announced on March 30 that it was starting to test a revamp to how people interact with the Dislikes that a YouTube video has. The biggest change is that the number of Dislikes will no longer be on the front-end of the site. \u201cIn response to creator feedback around well-being and targeted dislike campaigns, we\u2019re testing a few new designs that don\u2019t show the public dislike count,\u201d YouTube said. \u201cIf you\u2019re part of this small experiment, you might spot one of these designs in the coming weeks \u201d YouTubers will still be able to see how many Dislikes one of their videos has in the Studio and viewers will still be able to freely Like or Dislike anything they come across. Still, a ton of people are still wondering why the company would move on this change, even in its experimental stages, when there are larger problems to tackle for many. \u201cWhat about content that is objectively bad and harmful to people? Like scams etc?\u201d Jacksepticeye said, expressing concern for YouTube\u2019s growing problems already on the site. \u201cThe problem with websites that don\u2019t have Dislike buttons is it\u2019s harder for people to get an idea of what\u2019s good and what\u2019s bad,\u201d Drew Gooden said. \u201cLike if Twitter had a dislike button, you guys could see how much everybody hates this.\u201d the problem with websites that don\u2019t have dislike buttons is it\u2019s harder for people to get an idea of what\u2019s good and what\u2019s bad. like if twitter had a dislike button, you guys could see how much everybody hates this \u2014 Drew Gooden (@drewisgooden) March 30, 2021 Destroying logical and functioning systems due to nuance scenarios is by definition illogical and creates non-functioning systems. You\u2019re a billion dollar company and take nearly 50% of my ad revenue and THIS is what your executives come up with? \u2014 MYSTIC7 (@MYSTIC7) March 30, 2021 What would be FAR MORE helpful than this LAZY attempt to address a larger issue would be for you guys to actually ENFORCE RULES with Bans\/Suspensions against Channels that falsely DMCA others. Not this. There needs to be real consequences for THAT, not cover-ups for Dislikes! \ud83e\udd26\u2642\ufe0f https:\/\/t.co\/wLl0VDlVFR\u2014 Joe Vargas (@AngryJoeShow) March 30, 2021 There was everything from mild reactions to hard-lined responses to YouTube\u2019s experimental change. \u201cWhat would be FAR MORE helpful than this LAZY attempt to address a larger issue would be for you guys to actually ENFORCE RULES with Bans\/Suspensions against Channels that falsely DMCA others. Not this,\u201d AngryJoeShow said. \u201cThere needs to be real consequences for THAT, not cover-ups for Dislikes!\u201d Team YouTube explains Dislike change With a ton of people commenting on the proposed changes to the video-hosting platforms, the Team YouTube Twitter account has been trying to explain a bit more about what the company is planning with the update. \u201cOur hope is that you don\u2019t have to rely on dislikes to see if a video is scammy and can instead rely on the reporting tool, but we understand it\u2019s not perfect,\u201d YouTube said in response to concerns about scam channels being more protected. \u201cWe\u2019ve shared this feedback w\/ both the likes\/dislikes & the reporting tool teams. We know there\u2019s work to do on this, which is why we\u2019re starting with a very small experiment.\u201d (2\/2) We know there\u2019s work to do on this, which is why we\u2019re starting with a very small experiment \u2013 this is exactly the type of feedback we were hoping to get in this early stage, so really appreciate you sharing your thoughts \u2764\ufe0f \u2014 TeamYouTube (@TeamYouTube) March 30, 2021 If you\u2019re in the experiment, we’re only testing out different looks and feels to the buttons. You’ll still be able to like and dislike videos, but you may not see how many the video has received. Creators will still be able to see the exact numbers in YouTube Studio. \u2014 TeamYouTube (@TeamYouTube) March 30, 2021 Moreover, the company said this change is to protect creators from negative feedback, a position that is drawing a lot of criticism. \u201cWe\u2019ve heard from creators that the current experience can negatively impact their wellbeing,\u201d YouTube said of disabling the Dislike button. YouTube is expected to roll out the experimental Dislike changes to more users in the following weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
