    Except that the uploader can still see the downvote count. It was just removed so that corporations wouldn’t be embarrassed when they put out an unpopular trailer or product.

      Except thats not what the actual creators said, and they enjoy not having it displayed.

        Yeah, I just checked. I can see my own dislikes. They hide the number directly, but I can see how many likes I have and the ratio of likes to unlikes.

        Also, the creators that I follow didn’t like having the dislikes removed. Even if they did, I can make my own judgement calls. I’m sure the creators who are more dependent on sponsorships like not having their embarrassments visible. I’m sure IH doesn’t mind that stuff not being visible for “his” hole video.
