Hahaaha. I thought Dislikes were non viewable?
So they decided to take it down looking at internal numbers?
Well, give UBI credit. Since dislikes are not public, they could had just left it there.

People have browsers or plugins that view them, then screenshot it and make it go viral.

Why would Ubisoft give a shit about dislikes seeing as Youtube has now removed them?

You can see on the blockchain that I did indeed!
It was a bargain at a mere 43 million dollar.

OK, now get rid of the idea all together.

Which would be fine if those continued working, but afaik those will stop working when the public API to access that data stops working.
It's really interesting (bad) how impactful such a tiny change in our modern life can be.

The word is getting out on NFTs I guess. Good. Lots more people need to be educated on the matter.
If you actually learn what it is, you will want no part of it. So learn now. Stop putting it off.

Glad to see the pushback, but the article is inaccurate. The video was always unlisted. It was never actually listed.
There's really no need to misrepresent reality to artificially add drama to this.

LOL. Didnt know that. I might search for some browser apps another day myself and see if I can view dislikes.

Yeah. Was about to say. It was unlisted when it first appeared, this isn't a change.

They're so desperate to control the narrative.

In this case, can't really infer that because the video was never listed.

Actually using "Return Youtube Dislike" Firefox addon which relies on Youtube API (which will be gone on December 13th, 2021), the real number of like/dislike at this time of this video is:
305 LIKE / 6.5K DISLIKE
You can install the addon here or here
More info on github: https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike
Also: FUCK NFT

I think the hidden beauty of the whole "hidden dislikes" thing, is that it's now entirely possible for "sources" to claim that a very controversial video has a massive dislike count - and it's possible for clickbait-happy journalism sites to report on those claims, thus either constructing a bad narrative that the hidden dislikes are supposed to avoid, or forcing the company behind the video to publicly disclose the actual dislike count, rendering the whole stunt pointless.
