Why Did YouTube Hide Public Dislikes?

In November 2021, YouTube made the controversial decision to hide public dislike counts across all videos. While creators can still see private metrics in YouTube Studio, viewers were left without a direct way to judge if a tutorial, fix, or product review was genuine.

Our YouTube Dislike Viewer on YT Tools Hub restores this transparency, allowing students, developers, and everyday viewers to make informed decisions before watching long videos.
