In March 2021, YouTube conducted experiments such as changing the design of the low-rated button.

As a result, we decided not to display the number of low ratings in consideration of the impact on creators.

Experiments have shown that hiding the number of low ratings does not push too many low ratings.

Regarding low evaluation, it seems that there was a consultation that small creators and fledgling creators would receive a 'low evaluation attack' where the low evaluation button was pushed. We also know that this 'low-rated attack' is more likely to be targeted by smaller channels.

The only change is that the number of low ratings will be hidden on the video playback page, and creators will continue to be able to see the number of low ratings in YouTube Studio. In addition, users can control not to display the video and videos with the same tendency in their 'recommendations' by pressing 'low rating'.

In addition, Matt Koval, who is in charge of coordinating with creators on YouTube, said, 'I have thought that the number of low ratings will be useful for viewers.' 'But unfortunately, I and everyone are on the creator side. We found a case of misuse that we never thought of from the perspective of ',' suggesting that this change is a countermeasure against 'low-rated attacks.'
