Youtube removes the dislike button

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue. Violators will be turned over to Captain Janeway for experimentation.

Yeah still not sure how to post a screenshot here.
Any way I did a title search on YouTube and got the same screen with 14K likes and 128 dislikes.

You'll need an external image host like imgur.com. Then as long as you have a direct link to the image it's just a matter of putting that link in img tags. For example, this code shows the following image:

Code: Select all

More or less. I screen captured the image and put it on my deviant art page.

and put that between the img commands.

The dislike button is present for me, but not the count.

Those corporate big wigs can try to hide their shame but leave it to some good people to pull back the curtain. Enjoy.
