Hopefully the community will come together and figure out a good solution for the mess that YT is creating.

Currently we're using youtube API to get dislikes count

...so they just hid it from the user, and the actual number is still there if you know where to look? That's surprising.

It's visible to the uploader only, so yes it's still there.

Is it? Is there a good community alternative to Whatsapp and Facebook that is also used by people other than terrorists and right wing activists (joke)?

Last time I tried to switch to an alternative, I ended up with my messaging spread out to many apps. So I ended up going back to the common denominator: Whatsapp

The public dislike count will be removed from the API next month unless the api call is authed with an account associated with the channel.

Hopefully the community has something more interesting in their life to care about.
