Can't Find YouTube's Dislike Button? Here's Why

YouTube has made a change to its platform, removing the dislike button from public view, and this change is now being felt by users worldwide. The decision has sparked a mix of reactions, with some supporting the move as a way to reduce harassment and others criticizing it for taking away a valuable feedback mechanism.

This change matters for social commerce because it affects how creators interact with their audiences and how viewers engage with content. The lack of a public dislike button may influence how creators produce content, potentially shifting towards more positive or neutral topics to avoid private dislikes, and it could also impact how brands and advertisers perceive the effectiveness of their campaigns on the platform.
