    @PhillyD @YouTube @YouTubeCreators No issues here your videos show up in my subscription feed.

  • SouthPawNextGen Roy W. (@SouthPawNextGen) reported

    @YouTube This is absolutely awful

  • xa329 Tony Naggs (@xa329) reported

    @tangenteroja @YouTube I'm logged into Gmail & YouTube, so there are some clues beyond my geography. The laptop is tethered to my phone, the only (mobile network) NAT problem I typically see is Cloudflare rate limiting connections. I find it it interesting to note unusual occurrences.

  • WornAndTornMag Worn & Torn (@WornAndTornMag) reported

    @YouTube I’ve saved a lot of time by looking at the dislikes you can tell if the content is what it says in the title ad is good quality. Imagine if Rotten Tomatoes only showed how many good reviews a film got but didn’t show the bad ones.

  • RealDazeOfWar Chris Brennan (@RealDazeOfWar) reported

    @YouTube Everybody gets a trophy so their feelings don’t get hurt or learn how to improve and get better at what they want to do. There’s lessons to learn in losing or doing a bad job at something. It usually teaches you how to work harder and improve.

  • Mholt812 uosɐɯ (@Mholt812) reported

    @YouTube Yall will never fix the problems that matter will you yall just **** with the layout of the buttons and call it a day

  • sa_moped Samuel (@sa_moped) reported

    @YouTube This is being done to protect the privileged in their ivory towers from even having to hear the rabble’s desperate moans. I really feel bad for the powerful people this is being done to protect. Must be awful to have to the scum intrude upon them.

  • NMikedis Nick Mikedis (@NMikedis) reported

    @PhillyD @YouTube @YouTubeCreators I had the issue but it worked after a simple refresh

  • assignedwaving Frances Richardson (@assignedwaving) reported

    @VisualsBySipp @YouTube Thanks to swaycybertoolz on Instagramhe help me recover my hacked account when I had similar issue. His an expert

  • soulembrace2010 SOUL aka SoulEmbrace2010 @ #RWBY (@soulembrace2010) reported

    @YouTube This will not work. That does not work!

  • TrickyNekro TrickyNekro 🇬🇷 (@TrickyNekro) reported

    @Brehmel @thunderf00t @YouTube If that was true then no modern communication could be possible, let alone military radars. We have LTE, WiFi, multimode fiber etc. all highly standardized, all having some way of solving this exact problem. And for any normal vehicle you would not need more than 300 - 400m range

  • OnTarasMind A Rat (@OnTarasMind) reported

    @PhillyD @YouTube @YouTubeCreators I had the issue when I had an adblocker on, but when I turned it off it worked semi-fine. There were still some playback issues, but the video mostly worked fine.

  • LukeAndrewMason Luke Mason (@LukeAndrewMason) reported

    @YouTube What a horrible idea. Which creators wanted this? Low quality Youtuber: "WHAAAA people didn't like my video!! It got so many dislikes, WHAAA I can't handle criticism in the form of an arbitrary number!!!" Youtube: "One sec, ***, we'll just make the bad feedback disappear."

  • italkwho Evelin 🌻 Molander (@italkwho) reported

    @PhillyD @YouTube @YouTubeCreators Also, if they have this issue.. Are they using adblock or something like it that can accidentally block the video?

  • TobiAnimados TobiAnimados (@TobiAnimados) reported

    @YouTube is having problems? The last couple of weeks the screen is black like 20 seconds and then the video starts. Is the same in different devices.

  • KZFKreation KZFKreation (@KZFKreation) reported

    @MultimediaJay @YouTube Wouldn't help. Gauging a video's amount of likes isn't a good indicator of feedback. A binary system, such as dislikes/like or a 1/5 star system (which YouTube has previously had on their site) does.

  • Huskmini Huskmini (@Huskmini) reported

    @YouTube this is just promoting bad/harmful content, if i go onto a video and see the dislikes have been hidden then im already going to know its most likely a terrible video and their is no point wasting my time

  • VirgilGhost Mr. Moron (@VirgilGhost) reported

    @YouTube 👎🏽 Creators and viewers should see a video’s reception. It’s like not seeing an Amazon review. You need to see it in order to see the quality of a video and creators need to see what works and what doesn’t. This is a bad idea.

  • MarTheMad MarTheMad (@MarTheMad) reported

    @PhillyD @YouTube @YouTubeCreators I came here to check if there was an issue, cause I can't watch your newest video at all!

  • allelihull Alleli NTN NMD (@allelihull) reported

    @PhillyD @YouTube @YouTubeCreators Restart your computer. If that doesn’t work, clear your browser cache. That will cover the first troubleshooting steps. After that, idk.

  • MartinCirilloX Martín Cirillo (@MartinCirilloX) reported

    @YouTube worst idea ever

  • k1_abhishek Hosu~NyanPasu (@k1_abhishek) reported

    @TeamYouTube @pikalols @YouTube The only work you have to is by not iterating and putting a stop at your little futile "experiment". 19M

  • Cwize1 Chris 🇺🇸🇦🇺 (@Cwize1) reported

    @PhillyD @YouTube @YouTubeCreators I've been having problems all week. Exiting and then reentering full screen seems to fix it though.

  • SaperJa Jay Super (@SaperJa) reported

    @YouTube You’ve made ****** changes but this might be your worst yet

  • Michael41091386 Michael Scott (@Michael41091386) reported

    @YouTube If this is really the reason why you are hiding the dislike button, you should get rid of the comments section. Even if you take of the dislike button, the haters will be there to get the creator down every time. Thus this is not the problem about the “well-being” of the creators

  • melonindisguise Melon In Disguise (@melonindisguise) reported

    @YouTube @TeamYouTube How does this help anyone? This just hides and effective way to tell if a video is fake or a tutorial not useful. I see little benefit in this move.

  • theiceram ❄ 🐏 Ice Ice Lamby (@theiceram) reported

    @YouTube There's already the ability to hide likes & dislikes for those too fragile to accept that the entire world isn't obligated to like them, though. This just harms those of us who want to avoid clickbait, scams, and low quality or factually inaccurate content.

  • RubberNinja Ross O'Donovan (@RubberNinja) reported

    @YouTube Hiding this information from viewers and leaving it only visible on the creator side is ripe for abuse. It will only help hide public response to harmful videos.

  • pseudokings the pseudokings (@pseudokings) reported

    @YouTube You are the problem.

  • Advkow Kyle Morgan (@Advkow) reported

    @YouTube TRANSLATION: We like money, so we're going to let corporations flood you with stuff and you can't say you hate it, cause we took that away! Problem solved! *insert obnoxious sarcastic response to this idiotic move here*
