After feedbacks about well-being and harmful campaigns, provided by content creators, YouTube will test, in the coming weeks, an interface in which the number of negative reactions - the dislikes - will not be displayed on the screen.

According to Engadget, the platform has devoted its attention to the resource since 2018, the year in which its retrospective - YouTube Rewind - became the most hated in the company’s history. In 2019, it launched proposals such as turning off counts by default or completely removing the tool.
Apparently, the novelty is a way for the giant to deal with the problems that the button can bring - which does not eliminate the irony that something was done only after it was affected by what it created.
