To reduce targeted dislike attacks & their impact on creators (esp on smaller creators), you’ll no longer see a public dislike *count* on YouTube starting today (the dislike button is staying). This comes after lots of research, testing & consideration → youtube.com/watch?v=kxOuG8jM…

It's only gonna help a certain chunk of creator's mentally. I don't see what else it would be good for. Look at what I've recently retweeted/tweeted about it. There's some very valid points to be brought up.
