Description: Yesterday Youtube announced they were removing the public view of the dislike or thumbs down count on Youtube videos. They stated this was being done to protect content creators mental health, though if we look on the backend we can still see the number of downvotes we received within analytics so that reason doesn't seem to make sense. Could it be because the White House's Youtube Channel was getting about 5k downvotes to 200 upvotes? Or because the vote count on videos was destroying mainstream media narratives like "Inflation is Good" No it was probably just to protect our mental health. Than you Youtube!
