YouTube may be testing moving the dislike button under videos into the three-dot menu (theverge.com)

- Some users posted screenshots on X and Reddit showing the dislike button moved into the three-dot menu. One Reddit user said the button was not visible at all. - Until now, the dislike button sat right next to the like button. The original author's analysis is that adding a step to reach it in a submenu could reduce how many people dislike videos. - The original report says it is unclear how widely this test will be applied, and Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment at the time of reporting. The first report was 9to5Google. - YouTube hid public dislike counts in 2021 while keeping them visible to creators. This year, it removed the dislike button from Shorts and told users to use the three-dot menu.

O: This is useful for viewers who want to check reports that the YouTube dislike button has been moved into the three-dot menu, by comparing the button location directly under videos they usually watch. X: The original piece relies on multiple user reports and 9to5Google coverage, and it is not an official announcement from Google, so the scope and duration should be treated as unconfirmed.
