YouTube says it isn’t testing hiding the dislike button

YouTube says it isn’t testing hiding the dislike button.

YouTube 表示并未测试隐藏“不喜欢”按钮。

YouTube creators, on their own videos, will have the dislike button moved behind the three-dot menu, but that’s not the case for regular users.

YouTube 创作者在其个人视频页面上的“不喜欢”按钮将被移至三点菜单后方，但普通用户的情况并非如此。

On Tuesday, I published a story about how YouTube appeared to be testing hiding the dislike button on videos, with at least two users on X sharing screenshots of the dislike button moved into the three-dot menu.

周二，我发表了一篇关于 YouTube 似乎正在测试隐藏视频“不喜欢”按钮的报道，当时至少有两名 X 用户分享了截图，显示“不喜欢”按钮被移到了三点菜单中。

But a YouTube spokesperson, in a Wednesday statement to The Verge, confirmed that YouTube is “not testing hiding the dislike button on YouTube for users.” However, YouTube is introducing a new UI for creators on their uploaded videos where the dislike button will be moved.

但一位 YouTube 发言人在周三给 The Verge 的声明中证实，YouTube“并未在用户端测试隐藏‘不喜欢’按钮”。不过，YouTube 正在为创作者的上传视频引入一种新的用户界面，其中“不喜欢”按钮的位置将会发生变动。

Here’s the full statement, from spokesperson Kimberly Taylor: We are not testing hiding the dislike button on YouTube for users. We’re introducing a new UI for creators on their own uploaded videos, where dislike is behind the three-dot menu, and as always, they can find their full dislike counts in Studio, alongside other analytics.

以下是发言人 Kimberly Taylor 提供的完整声明：我们并未在用户端测试隐藏 YouTube 上的“不喜欢”按钮。我们正在为创作者的个人上传视频引入一种新的用户界面，将“不喜欢”按钮置于三点菜单后方；与往常一样，他们可以在 Studio 中查看完整的“不喜欢”计数以及其他分析数据。

The change for creators follows past adjustments to the dislike button on the platform. YouTube hid the public dislike count on videos starting in 2021 as a way to prevent harassment, and it removed the dislike button video from Shorts earlier this year.

针对创作者的这一变动，是该平台此前对“不喜欢”按钮进行调整的延续。YouTube 从 2021 年开始隐藏视频的公开“不喜欢”计数，以此作为防止骚扰的一种手段，并于今年早些时候移除了 Shorts 视频中的“不喜欢”按钮。
