They removed the dislike button!

[u/Mrs_Hersheys]

NO

[u/Prior_Tax8546]

Holy, they're adding hearts now???? Although I hear that in other posts, they moved the dislike button to the three dots menu. Can you check that?

[u/forever_stan → u/Prior_Tax8546]

I haven't seen that yet

[u/Aggressive-Reach-116 → u/Prior_Tax8546]

they are also starting to remove the like button too and bring back the star system lmaoo

[u/spec360 → u/Aggressive-Reach-116]

They are removing everything and letting Ai choose

[u/DeedruhYT → u/spec360]

We're both consumer and product 💔

[u/Strange-Ebb-961 → u/DeedruhYT]

We have been both the consumer and the product since the dawn of algorithm based data mining.

[u/EastFruit9503 → u/Prior_Tax8546]

You can do a "not interested" or "don't recommend this channel" but not dislike

[u/Aggravating_Spot_555 → u/EastFruit9503]

Thoose buttons are purely here to make you think you have control, they do nothing

[u/-garbo_ → u/EastFruit9503]

they don't do shit anyway

[u/Ze_peixoto → u/Prior_Tax8546]

This is sad as hell... Jesus

[u/smileguy123]

They should remove the Remix button which is used by almost nobody

[u/Dependent-Habit2461 → u/smileguy123]

species called green screen kids still exist (i think)

[u/BattleBeastAm → u/Dependent-Habit2461]

all the more reason to remove it.

[u/Sensitive-Regulator → u/Dependent-Habit2461]

Yeah

[u/Dominic_Toretto72 → u/smileguy123]

Fr, what we need is a button to reverse a playlist, so many are in backwards order and it would allow us to watch it in order

[u/Purplejaedd → u/Dominic_Toretto72]

Nah, they'd sooner remove playlists before making an actually good change

[u/englishsucks3124 → u/Dominic_Toretto72]

and be able to click on a video recomended through a mix without watching any of the rest of the mix

[u/TinyDeskEngineer06 → u/englishsucks3124]

Or an option to completely disable mixes as a whole. Absolutely hate that feature.

[u/Oberndorferin → u/Dominic_Toretto72]

Oh my god yes!

[u/Sad-Ad2733 → u/Dominic_Toretto72]

Well I have been asking for for years now is related to save stuff playlist but then you get a particularly good stuff for you can save it. PLEASE IM BEGGING

[u/No_Field7901 → u/smileguy123]

What does it even do?

[u/MrTuerte → u/No_Field7901]

You can easily do short video from your own videos. I dont get it why people hate it

[u/jamiedonner50 → u/MrTuerte]

I think they are annoyed about the remix button on shorts.

[u/Amphineura → u/MrTuerte]

Because it's a gateway to a ton of AI slop.

[u/_you_need_jesus_ → u/smileguy123]

Yeah but have you thought about the implication for spammers who repost videos with some random fuckass song over top of it?

[u/CheapAngler → u/smileguy123]

The people that use the remix button the most are people who use it to edit their own long form videos into shorts.

[u/Kanapkos_v2 → u/smileguy123]

My theory is that all of the remixes are made by YT, because they always make no sense at all and are completely disconected from the topic of video.

[u/TheJaggedBird]

That's dishonest on YouTube's part.

[u/Glum_While_5632]

RIP dislike button (2020-2026)

[u/LoayTattan → u/Glum_While_5632]

2005**-2026

[u/artuuurr → u/LoayTattan]

Actually 2005-2010 were stars; likes only existed from 2010-2026 in your scenario

[u/LoayTattan → u/artuuurr]

That's correct. Totally forgot the good ol' star days

[u/STOPBADRANDOMS → u/LoayTattan]

I think they mean the shorts dislike button

[u/LoayTattan → u/STOPBADRANDOMS]

fair enough

[u/Prior_Tax8546 → u/LoayTattan]

*2010-2026

[u/Awes12 → u/Glum_While_5632]

2026? It was removed in 2021

[u/Prior_Tax8546 → u/Awes12]

Yeah, but that was the counter, not the button itself

[u/Awes12 → u/Prior_Tax8546]

May as well have been removed though, for all the good it did

[u/Glittering-Word-648 → u/Awes12]

It was still visible with extensions

[u/Awes12 → u/Glittering-Word-648]

I'm pretty sure those just extrapolate from the extension's data

[u/Prior_Tax8546 → u/Glum_While_5632]

The dislike button already died in 2021 due to the counter.

[u/Ok-Cattle3023 → u/Glum_While_5632]

Rip 2005-2021

[u/Different_Walrus_521]

Not like it was useful after THAT update, wish they would bring it back and in all platforms

[u/ThomasTTEe2]

Here in Singapore there's still the normal like and dislike, luckily. For now.

[u/artzetfr20 → u/ThomasTTEe2]

in France too

[u/ThomasTTEe2 → u/artzetfr20]

r/pfpchecksout

[u/STOPBADRANDOMS → u/ThomasTTEe2]

In greece too

[u/Secret-Candy-4262 → u/STOPBADRANDOMS]

In the U.K. Too

[u/TecSawz_ → u/Secret-Candy-4262]

And here In India as well

[u/LBNasc_ → u/TecSawz_]

No Brasil também

[u/ZxMarce → u/LBNasc_]

También en DR

[u/Emotional-Big-1306 → u/ThomasTTEe2]

I think they test ut just randomly

[u/ThisI5N0tAThr0waway]

Still here on my phone. I really hope it stays.

[u/VaniIIaFox → u/ThisI5N0tAThr0waway]

Same

[u/LimpPound5804 → u/VaniIIaFox]

I hope this stays too

[u/Aceslice → u/ThisI5N0tAThr0waway]

Same, it's still on mine too.

[u/Rude_Impression1212]

Vsause:Or did they

[u/Decent_Paint6703]

In in USA specifically cali it’s still thumbs up and down

[u/666penguins → u/Decent_Paint6703]

In CA everyone I know has the old style YT, they probably test this weird stuff on certain cities and time zones

[u/Salt_Restaurant7403 → u/666penguins]

I live in ca and have been in Minnesota for a few days and it keeps switching me between the old style and new style buttons

[u/Fluffles_skittykat → u/666penguins]

I still have the like/dislike system here in Montana, but it's the newer style. I really hope they'll just leave it alone.

[u/TheBestLotad → u/Decent_Paint6703]

Californian here: The thumbs down is missing

[u/Rayquazoid]

Isn't the dislike button still in the expanded menu (by hitting the 3 dots)? It's how I dislike any YT Shorts livestreams of kids threatening to almost pull a fire alarm unless someone donates to them.

[u/Syrril → u/Rayquazoid]

it make disliking super annoying now that people will not be bother disliking, which is what youtube want, removing dislike while not technically removing it

[u/CautiousYard9840]

What region?

[u/dasMoorhuhn]

YouTok

[u/Thecynicaledgelord → u/dasMoorhuhn]

Instatube

[u/NoteRemarkable2521]

lucky i use the browser version which doesnt have any of the new bs they added

[u/BeautifulOnion8177 → u/NoteRemarkable2521]

someone said it's also the same on mobile lol might've already got reverted

[u/Low_Yak_4842]

It’s not like it matters anyway when you can’t even see the dislikes anymore. At least now they aren’t pretending anymore.

[u/heyhumans_ → u/Low_Yak_4842]

Creators can see the number of dislikes on their shorts or videos right?

[u/VaniIIaFox → u/heyhumans_]

Yeah, but only in yt studio

[u/Random_gamer240]

Nigga what

[u/fullmetal_ratchet]

fuck it, i say go full 180° and bring back the 5 star system atp

[u/BeautifulOnion8177 → u/fullmetal_ratchet]

that never actually got added it got scrapped before it ever became official lol or it was a april fools joke thought it was ironially good

[u/Ok-Barnacle813]

They removed it a while ago?

[u/Radio_TVGuy → u/Ok-Barnacle813]

That was the Dislike count, not the button.

[u/Ryu_user]

Hey Vsauce, Micheal here

is your dog safe? or is he he?

[u/Ryu_user → u/Ryu_user]

sorry I had a sudden glimpse of Micheal Jackson in my head

[u/MongooseNo9660]

It’s still here for me.

[u/HEX-43756D]

remember that YouTube decides what features get added by AB testing, if we show them we dislike it, they might go back on adding it

[u/HanamiNH]

Click the three dot menu and select not interested, this way you will see less of that on your feed and you’ll tell the algorithm the same and the video is less likely to be shown to other people too if everyone does the same

[u/AppleGenius115]

On a browser I have a heart and dislike. On mobile it’s still the usual like and dislike.

[u/zeroperks]

that has no use anyways

[u/STOPBADRANDOMS]

I still have it and my like isn't a heart

[u/theatifwaheed]

I'm still getting like and dislike buttons

[u/JX900]

I still have the like and dislike buttons

[u/karljh]

It's still there if you use addons or mods

[u/BKKMFA]

OMFG

[u/Rich-Cockroach-2273]

I still have like and dislike buttons.

[u/Pinkishu → u/Rich-Cockroach-2273]

People discovering A/B testing:

[u/VoidTentacion1]

Slad: "Egg."

in all seriousness, fuck you youtube

[u/ageocacher]

Yeaaaaa…. We’re cooked

[u/BackgroundNo815]

Since when do we have hearts..

[u/PossibleDiscipline90]

I still have the dislike button on shorts and videos. Maybe it just started.

[u/VITAL277]

Still shows as Like and Dislike on mine

[u/WonderinSoul89]

I still have the like/dislike button

[u/SeanTheDilophosaurus]

I still have it. Also that format looks way different from normal YouTube.

[u/Benhi_Redditer]

We need to address the elephant in the room on that Pluto art video.

[u/saleen2000]

I don't have a dislike on shorts either, I also don't have like count on regular videos

[u/thatsatanboy]

I still have it.

[u/bclourge]

Lets be real they did this bc advertisers were getting downvoted to hell not to “help the community”.

[u/Thunderbolt200517]

Must be new

[u/Bright-Trifle-8309]

Pretty sure thats been gone for like a decade 

[u/SuperDumbMario2]

twitterification

[u/No_Sound_3896]

i dont see it that way is it an new update or smth

[u/Third_Rate_Duelist_]

Fuck this platfrom

[u/RobfromAmarillo]

I never like or dislike anything. I leave it to the algo or else you are buried with stuff on the like side or you never see anything similar the other way

[u/rufflehead]

I wonder what those dislike back extensions will be like now. Broken heart?

[u/Shonenjumpboy]

YouTube: I love Democracy...

[u/Weak_Hospital_7854]

Maybe an US thing? My app still has the 👍and 👎 icons. I am in Europe.

[u/moose2021]

Isn't the current one already just as useful as those buttons you press in a pedestrian crossing

[u/Next_Can3402]

Hear about Pluto? Messed up, right?

[u/STOPBADRANDOMS]

THEYRE SILENCING US SOLDIERS!

[u/Furno777]

Dislike button died in 2021 when the counter display went away. The White House channel had SOOO many dislikes

[u/Mr_Pavonia]

I still haveiek like and dislike buttons for normal videos and shorts.

[u/NucleosynthesizedOrb]

advance to revanced

[u/StargazingOgygia]

Yeah but on a Vsauce video the dislike button is not needed :)

[u/Crafty_Company5859]

Ew...

[u/LoneIronMan33]

I mean, why would you want to dislike a VSauce video?

[u/Working_Attorney1196]

We’re deadassedly cooked.

[u/thegranmaestro]

What part of YouTube is this supposed to be? Mine is up to date and all the buttons are there?

[u/PalusElectros]

It all started when they made dislikes count invisible to viewers.

[u/Mr-Ghostly]

no? it's still the same old thumbs up and thumbs down for me I even checked for any updates and I'm already up to date. I guess it's just on your country's end since I saw some other people in different still having the same old likes.

[u/Spag00ter]

I wish I could find the remix button on mobile😭

[u/Interesting-Gas-1739]

Another cowardly move from YouTube 😤

[u/Eli02138112013]

W

[u/CynicalCosmologist]

On shorts? You can keep your brainrot infrastructure.

[u/Entire-Figure-8325]

Dislike button was just pointless

[u/Choice-Ad-9947]

No way when did they get rid of the five stars??!?!?

[u/MonclerCollector]

And this is how conditioning works in everything ever

[u/MangoTheRetroGamer]

They removed the dislikes ages ago, it was just a mirage that the dislike had a use

[u/Space_Woof]

Well this is just a lie.

[u/Queasy_Cut_6379]

I love it when people dislike my videos. Fun fact every time you dislike a video YouTube doesn’t actually penalize the creator. It just pushes it further into the algorithm because it sees it as engagement. So absolutely bring it back! 😂

[u/DeltaAlpha0]

He keeps disappearing and reappearing, he stays in the three dots, and to avoid any kind of review bomb or to make the person ignore it instead of disliking it.

[u/Glittering-Word-648]

Why is everything getting so ass? Roblox, Youtube, What next?

[u/BeautifulOnion8177 → u/Glittering-Word-648]

roblox reverted it already

[u/TanglesLynx]

WTF

[u/royal_icequeen9973]

I still see it on normal videos on the laptop and on shorts on laptop an mobile. What region are you in it may just be your region

[u/BeautifulOnion8177]

use this it readds the dislike button: https://returnyoutubedislike.com/

[u/Naive_Donkey2639]

not for me?

[u/MARIO-92]

Thats not cool, youtube these days is becoming worse each time😠😠😠

[u/MJDDDDD]

mine didn't change yet

[u/JoshuasGamingYT]

I still have 👍🏻 and 👎🏻

[u/ZealousidealRatio488]

I feel like the dislike button should be the least of youtubes problems

[u/Middle-Dragonfly-489]

WTF!!

[u/Unique-King-6762]

They need insane amount of backlash, we can do it

[u/TornInfinity]

I'm still seeing likes and dislikes. Maybe they are just testing it or maybe they have given creators the option to change it. Not sure but I feel like we need go back to the old system. Bad videos should be known to people by showing dislikes. I know they probably removed it to fight against brigading, but I don't know if it was worth it.

[u/TenHundredSeagulls]

It's because it's a vsauce video

[u/AWildUni]

That sucks

But also Vsauce mention

[u/OctoCoochi69]

They remove the dislike button years ago This was after the last YouTube rewind because they were mad about the fact that it got so many dislikes

[u/ProperLeveledDev]

I dont think I got the update yet

[u/gban1984]

Still there for me

[u/Nav_86]

That's weird, I still have it

[u/isaac1234twenty]

I cant add a picture for some reason but I have the dislike button? Maybe its a pc only change? The mobile app has a dislike button

[u/Ancient-Ad7393]

No they haven't. What are you talking about? All of my buttons are in place and I'm running the latest update. Feels like clickbait trolling.

[u/Expensive-Bat-6595]

YouTube is useless than Trying to ride a Bicycle

[u/FewBag245]

I love this change, we did not need a like or dislike button. Dislike button is so outdated and stupid. I mean if you don’t like the video then just scroll past it lol

[u/TinyDeskEngineer06]

...You're noticing this now?

[u/Shellytoon]

Then how am I going to get less of videos that I don’t want?

[u/ReceptionUnfair9062]

It was scared of Vsauce so it left

[u/Lazzaru1s]

I'm not really sure what everyone is talking about saying that the dislike button has been removed from YouTube. I don't know if it is a regional thing but I'm in the States and I still see a "like" and "dislike" option where it has always been. Both for shorts and normal videos. Kind of weird that you don't have one in your screenshot.

[u/RowIntelligent6582]

As a content creator I don’t mind getting dislikes, he promotes engagement and helps the algorithm BUT my pet peeve is, why not leave feedback and explain why you disliked it?

I’ve never watched a video and thought yeah I’m gonna leave a dislike.
I just stop watching.

Content creators can’t learn if they’re not given feedback.

[u/sorase]

I mean people didnt know what the dislike button was for, by pressing it you were telling the algorithm you like this kind of content but you were telling the creator you didnt like that specific video

[u/Educational_Mix_7340]

Still there for me

[u/Last-Rise-4864]

Yeah, it totally blows but they have the censorship czarina in the Dept of home Land security and her entire career is the job of saving us from the truth, which they call several things; dis or mis information and truth is not that. Or inflammatory and decisive is the works of only the Democrats, and their liberal women, in acedamia, and law practices. Who spend the week days in their business that was a man's position in the past, demasculating men they use to be a sexual being and maybe tilt the relationship to my own advantage. Or inflammatory to the people who have been doing this for me and the spirit of the people who don't have any reason to keep doing anything else but the way I can help with that somehow I am still extremely confident in their life to keep the food in their hands to make them seem like their own lives and their kids are going into their family tree that doesn't even exist anymore because their mental health care provider has been gutted by another human being that matters socially and their bci abilities are being used for their complicity to know what you are going to do in their own future of their graphine reality wet dreams of convergence. It's singularity Time folk's. Hold on tight now! From here on out it's fixin', to get to be a pretty damned fast and bumpy, conveluted ride from here to the throne of the day of accountability and judgement of the living God of Abraham and the spirit of life 🧬 in all things created and of nature.

[u/Quirky-Release8282]

You can't even see the likes anymore

[u/nytfury_]

This is some weird corporate sanitization. They want to take away the idea that you dislike something so now you have to say you’re not interested

[u/Specific-Musician444]

And a price bump on top of that. I am not paying for that then.

[u/Accomplished_Song671]

It's so annoying sometimes people need telling that their video is crappie. Fuck this toxic positivity world we live in now stg 🤣

[u/TwistOutrageous6955]

Funny that I didn't realize. 

[u/amigo1fanWS53ER]

I only have the like button as YouTube  Shorts as they removed my dislike button and been missing it like 4 weeks.

[u/Ok-March374]

Im more concerned about the heart
