There have been recent reports of YouTube hiding the dislike button behind a menu, but YouTube says it’s not the change you think it is.

The thumbs down button has been a divisive issue in the YouTube community for years now, ever since YouTube removed the count that used to appear alongside it. So when some users noticed the dislike button was suddenly gone and buried inside an overflow menu, there was a lot of confusion around the change.

But in a statement to 9to5Google, YouTube does directly confirm that this is not a test or a change you’ll see on YouTube videos. But this new location for the dislike button seems to only be live on the video page for a creator’s own video. So, simply put, only your own videos will show this changed location.

A spokesperson for YouTube says:

“We are not experimenting with hiding the dislike button on YouTube for users. We’re also rolling out a new UI for creators on their own uploaded videos where dislike is hidden behind the three-dot menu, and as always, they can see their full dislike counts in Studio along with other analytics.”

And sure enough, when we tried it out on one of our own videos, we were able to reproduce this behaviour right away.
