The 'YouTube's Removal Of The Dislike Button' meme emerged in late 2021 after Google officially announced that public dislike counts would be hidden to protect creators from 'dislike attacks.' The internet immediately pushed back, creating memes that highlighted the practical dangers of this change—specifically the inability to identify scam videos, dangerous tutorials, or misleading clickbait. Common variations involve users nervously watching a 'How To' video with no way to gauge its credibility. This meme serves as a digital protest against corporate sanitization and remains a staple of internet culture whenever YouTube introduces controversial platform updates.
