Goolag just hid the dislike count on the HTML side of youtube and the public api access is next, meaning only video creators can review downvotes.
Their claims of mental health are bullshit as this will only placate narcissists, and this only exists to allow questionable parties to hide bad reception of their videos.
This literally protects no one's mental health, because the people obsessed with their own dislike ration can still see dislikes.
This is such a transparent attempt to cover for those in power.
