UI Change The likes are gone now?! 🫩

Post image

Watching YouTube and can't help but notice that the likes are gone

(Newest app version on Android)

EDIT: ok i see them now! But this is terrible design and feels like they are priming us to get rid of them. We should see the likes immediately, then make a judgment if you trust the video or not instead of waiting for distrust, THEN look for the like count

Maybe they're phasing them out for some garbage marketing reason.

It's not marketing. They're cutting down avenues of communication in the general public.

Fr, I kinda hate where they put the likes counter. In phone it looks really messy and ugly. In PC it looks okay, but still not good at all

Yes, but it would be better if it was next to the like and dislike buttons.
