The platform mentioned that they are doing this to avoid the misuse of the dislike button as its excessive use led to a decline in the video’s overall performance

Creators on the platform, please note that they can still track the dislike count on the video in YouTube Studio

Sounds very interesting right

We will have to see how this change works for viewers as well as creators

But this is definitely an encouraging move by the platform to stop the deliberate manipulation of video’s performance and encourage creators to continue creating engaging content for the users
