YouTube announced Wednesday the tally of “dislike” clicks on videos will no longer be visible to the public to protect creators from harassment and targeted attacks. A public count of likes — or dislikes — that social media posts rack up is regularly cited by critics as harmful to well-being, and Facebook as well as Instagram have allowed users to opt out. Users on the Google -owned video sharing platform will still be able to click on the “dislike” button below a clip, but they will no longer see the negative review count.
