class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>YouTube is moving to boost the confidence of its content creators and shield them from \u201cdislike attacks\u201d as it begins to hide \u201cthumbs down\u201d counts on videos.<\/p>\n<p>Users of the platform will still be able to throw shade at a clip, but the number of dislikes a video receives will only be visible to the person who uploaded it, the company said Wednesday <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.youtube\/news-and-events\/update-to-youtube\/\">in a blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The new policy comes after Google\u2019s video service launched an experiment earlier this year to see if removing the count would protect content creators from harassment and campaigns that purposely drove up dislikes on a clip.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn short, our experiment data showed a reduction in dislike attacking behavior,\u201d the company said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also heard directly from smaller creators and those just getting started that they are unfairly targeted by this behavior \u2014 and our experiment confirmed that this does occur at a higher proportion on smaller channels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new policy is gradually being phased out \u2014 which will be of comfort to Justin Bieber, whose video for \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kffacxfA7G4\">Baby,<\/a>\u201d which previously held the record for most hated YouTube clip, still had 12 million downvotes visible on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\"
