| YouTube is testing a counter to hide the videos you don't like |
YouTube announced an experiment hiding the "hate" counter to prevent
audiences from intentionally reducing the number of video votes for
creators and channels.
The experiment is a different application from the solution the company previously discussed, but it is similar to other attempts by platforms like Instagram to prevent targeted attacks in childhood.
"Likes" and "dislikes" metrics can be viewed on the individual YouTube Studio page for a creator, but only "likes" are generally shown in the video.
In a support article, YouTube explained testing that "pushback" can negatively affect creators' happiness and launch targeted ad campaigns that make users hate videos. Content makers.
The basic idea is that seeing and observing the increase in the number of people may be sufficient to reach and increase the number of people.
Content creators rely on likes and dislikes as comments to direct creative work, but it's a bit like deliberate commenting on bad games through Steam because it's easy to turn useful features into malicious ones.
When YouTube first announced that it would fix the dislike issue, it came up with three ideas: Hide the number of people they like and hate, and ask or eliminate other interactions to hate things. Things like and dislike.
When Instagram decided to hide favorites in posts to make the experience more realistic, Instagram tried a similar test.
Facebook this year also removed the "Like" button from the page to get a more accurate follower metric.
The nature of likes is clearly positive, but following likes can be particularly negative for creators whose livelihoods depend on closely following and engaging with posts.
YouTube doesn't test dislike in all cloaked creator videos. However, if you notice them on the page or get views from viewers, the platform collects comments on their website.
The platform said: In the coming weeks, these tests will be conducted on Android and iOS around the world, to collect comments from various designs.
