YouTube says the dislike button is not hidden for viewers. The move only affects creators on their own videos, so most people will see no change.
The dislike button has not disappeared for viewers. YouTube told 9to5Google it is not testing a hidden dislike button for users. What some people spotted was a different change, and it only shows up on a creator's own uploaded videos.
On a creator's own video page, the dislike button now sits behind the three-dot menu, a small menu of extra options. Reports of the move spread lately and caused confusion. Dislike has been a sore subject in the YouTube community for years, ever since YouTube removed the count that showed next to the button. 9to5Google tested it on one of its own videos and saw the same layout right away.
YouTube described the change as a new design for creators on their own uploads. The material does not say why YouTube made it. It also does not say whether the layout could change for other videos later. For now, YouTube's statement is clear that viewers are not part of any test.
If you only watch YouTube, nothing changed; if you upload videos, dislike is now in the three-dot menu on your own videos.
