100% agree. If they're going to do away with the dislike counter, then do away with the like counter as well.

- mattowen_uk 5y agoMy opinion on this, is that they should hide BOTH the counts, and only the creator can see it. Keep the actual buttons, as they signal to YouTube what you do and do not want to see in future, but the actual counts only have use to the creator... and even then a simple ratio or percentage alongside the video in the Creator Studio is enough; there's no need for actuall numbers. What's not been mentioned is that YouTube add a small % of fake clicks to the like/dislike buttons, and also hide the real counts for a while, if there's a rush on clicks (to dissuade click-bandwagoning).
