So I've been a member of YouTube since 2007. I've literally watched the site change and evolve over the years. I remember the days when you could give 5 or 1 stars to a video. I remember the days when we YouTubers celebrated "honors" for our videos - like being the #60 "Most discussed video" of the day (a stat which LEGO STAR WARS: WHAT IF" once had).
The site is much different now than it was back then and it will apparently be even more different now with the supposed hiding of the dislike button.
This is just my opinion on the matter: Like any creator who hopes to make content universally appealing, I don't enjoy when my videos get downvoted, but if someone doesn't like a video I make, I welcome their opinion to be expressed. No. I want it to be expressed. I want it being publicly displayed. I don't want it to be hidden. While it's true that stats will still be visible to me as a creator, it won't be visible to everyone else. I personally think that's a mistake.
People should be free to express their opinions and others should be able to see what's liked and what's not.
Regardless, I'm sure I'll roll on just fine with the change like I have every other change that's been done to this site. But I do have to say that this one is a pretty big one that I don't agree with.
