YouTube clarifies it's not hiding the dislike button

Recently, rumors emerged about YouTube potentially testing the hiding of the dislike button on videos. Some users on X shared screenshots showing the button moved to a three-dot menu. However, a YouTube spokesperson confirmed that there is no ongoing test to hide the dislike button from regular users.

## Why it matters The dislike button has been an essential tool for users to express their dissatisfaction with certain content. Keeping it visible ensures that viewers can still have a clear way to communicate their opinion on videos, which is vital for transparency on the platform.

## What we know YouTube is introducing a new interface for creators, where the dislike button will be relocated, although further details on how this will affect user experience have not been provided. The company has reaffirmed its commitment to keeping the button visible for viewers, which could imply an improvement in content interaction.

## What’s still unclear It remains unclear how the new interface for creators will look and whether there will be other modifications in how likes and dislikes are managed. Details about this update and its implementation are still uncertain.
