Put down your pitchforks — Google's not hiding YouTube's dislike button - Android Authority
Android Authority is reporting on the story above. It caught our attention because it may affect readers checking their internet or a specific service on SpeedTestTools right now.
When buttons go missing or pages look strange on major video platforms, it is easy to assume the company made an unwanted design choice or that your own connection is acting up. For regular viewers, basic controls help you quickly judge whether a guide, review, or tutorial is worth your time. Knowing that the feature remains right where it belongs saves you from unnecessary worry about sudden site changes.
If you cannot see the thumbs down option beneath a clip today, you are likely dealing with a simple display glitch rather than a permanent removal. Try refreshing the webpage or closing and reopening the mobile app. It is also smart to temporarily disable any browser extensions or ad blockers, as these tools often misidentify and hide normal website buttons by mistake.
The core controls are not going anywhere, so a quick refresh or clearing your browser cache should put things back to normal.
- Run a quick speed test — get concrete numbers before assuming it's your ISP.
