Usually I access the pages of youtube videos for the purpose of getting
information about the video (as opposed to actually watching the video)
through a script of my own. One of the things it displayed until recently was
the rating of a video. Basically somewhere on the source of the video page
there would be something like
"averageRating":"4.9422383"
as part of a lot of Javascript. But in the last few days I have not be seeing
this. I saw it most recently with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXun3qpzpDk
on 2021-12-12. Now even that video doesn't have it. Looking at this and some
other video pages with a couple of different browsers I don't see any "rating"
(I still see "Likes" and "Dislikes"). So I am hoping that you can do some
tests of your own and report. If you have a youtube account (I don't) try the
page with and without being logged in to see if a rating appears on one
occasion but not the other.

They just don't want that people can say that they don't like some

videos. Especially government operated channel's videos were massively
disliked by some people, so they channel operator decided to turn the
voting system off. Not YT seems to have disabled the dislike function
at all, so people can't say "I don't like that" anymore.

yes, see EEVblab #89, so the initial argument it stops people feeling hurt that
people dislike their video, is bumph.

new generation, where everyone got a "participation trophy" for the
game, but no team "won" or "lost" it coddles the new generation in the
way they have grown accustomed to being coddled.

OTOH, perhaps the Governments (apparently their videos draw a lot of
dislikes) themselves are the snowflakes...

For, Germany this is true and also applies to semi-governmental TV

stations. Also politicians and parties are affected by a big amount of
dislikes.

The opposite: the creator of the video can still see the number of dislikes.

If they were offended by that before, they still will be.
The difference is that an organised dislike campaign doesn't get any
gratification from seeing the dislike count rise, and YT hope this will
reduce the impact of campaigns to remove revenue from creators through using
the dislike feature as a weapon, like an inverse petition.

The idea of "new participation trophies" is a myth.

to me that just speaks: "Hey, since we can't moderate the
like-to-dislike ratio we will just disable it altogether".

like-to-dislike ratio of a particular video rather than curtailing any
"dislike campaigns". If they don't want anyone gaming that system they
could have just removed the whole like and dislike system.
But they didn't. They only removed the ability for dislikes to be seen.
So surely they still think that the "likes" matter.
