YouTube’s war on the Dislike button appears to be far from over

YouTube is continuing its campaign against the Dislike button through new UI experiments. Following the previous removal of public dislike counts, the platform is now testing interface changes that make the Dislike button harder for users to access on normal videos. These ongoing UI tests indicate that the platform's strategy to limit the visibility and usability of the dislike feature is persisting, leading to further user dissatisfaction with the evolving interface design.
