I don't know the Youtube API, but the current method of viewing dislikes is to log out or open a private window. Dislikes are shown just as before.

    No, they're not showing dislikes to creators on their own videos. The rest still gets to see dislikes. At least, that was my takeaway.

      The other way round. Only creators will be able to see the dislike count, probably in their dashboard
