The We For News reported, YouTube on Thursday announced that the count to dislike button will no longer be visible to the viewers.

However, the creators can view the dislike counts in YouTube Studio.

Creators will still be able to find their exact dislike counts in YouTube Studio, along with other existing metrics, if they would like to understand how their content is performing.

The firm said in a statement: “We are making the dislike counts private across YouTube, but the dislike button is not going away. This change will start gradually rolling out today."

Viewers can still dislike videos to tune their recommendations and privately share feedback with creators.

The firm added: “We heard during the experiment that some of you have used the public dislike count to help decide whether or not to watch a video."

With this, YouTube is trying to create an inclusive and respectful environment where creators have the opportunity to succeed and feel safe to express themselves. This is just one of many steps the brand is taking to continue to protect creators from harassment.

YouTube has also started rolling out a redesignated “New to you” tab on its platform to enable users to explore content that is not a part of usual recommendations that show up on the home feed.

The new tab is available on the YouTube homepage across mobile, desktop and TV devices.

The company said in a statement: “We are excited to share more details about ‘New to you’ – a feature helping you discover new creators and fresh content, beyond the recommended videos you normally see. ‘New to you’ is now available on the YouTube homepage across mobile, desktop, and TV devices."

The YouTube feature is expected to help creators reach new audiences by targeting those who would be most interested in their content but would not have discovered it.

Upon arriving to participate in the summit of the European Political Community, which includes around forty heads of state in Budapest, he said, "I look forward to sitting with the elected U.S. president and seeing how we will collectively ensure we meet challenges, including the threats from Russia and North Korea." He also noted that the strengthening of ties between Russia and North Korea poses a threat to the United States as well, according to reports from Agence France-Presse.

Before Trump's victory, Rutte expressed confidence that a united Washington would remain part of the defensive alliance, even if Trump became the 47th president of the United States. In an interview with German public broadcaster ZDF last Monday night, he stated that both Republicans and Democrats understand that NATO serves not only the security of Europe but also that of America. He added that both candidates are aware that the security of the United States is closely tied to NATO.

On Wednesday, NATO congratulated Trump on his victory but did not address the Ukrainian issue.

It is noteworthy that the relationship between the elected U.S. president and the defense alliance was not the best during his first term in the White House. Trump criticized NATO member states multiple times and even hinted at withdrawing from the alliance unless they increased their financial contributions.

Additionally, the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian war is one of the matters that complicate relations between the two sides, especially since Trump has repeatedly stated that he can end this ongoing conflict, which began in 2022, quickly. He implied that he had a peace plan between Kyiv and Moscow, while his vice president, JD Vance, revealed aspects of that plan, which stipulated Ukraine's commitment not to join NATO, thereby sending reassuring signals to the Russians.

Furthermore, many NATO member states in Europe fear that Trump might halt military aid to Ukraine after he previously criticized the U.S. for pouring funds into supporting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
