YouTube Breaks Promise, Removing “Dislike” Button from Shorts
In the Latest Installment of Treating Your Content Creators Like Snowflakes
For clymax’s projects, click here. You can also follow him on YouTube or Twitter.
A while back, YouTube removed public Dislike counts as announced here (emphasis added):
We’re making the dislike counts private across YouTube, but the dislike button is not going away.
This change will start gradually rolling out today.
Despite such a statement—and perhaps to no one’s surprise—YouTube recently finally added insult to injury by actually removing the Dislike button from Shorts, as announced here:
[W]e’re … retiring the dislike button.
Instead, we’ll rely on … “Not Interested” and “Don’t recommend this channel,” to … tune your feed and serve up content….
The update sparked discussion across the web, such as on the r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit.
Thanks a lot, YouTube.

Sony to End Physical PlayStation Games in 2028
Citing Consumer “Preferences”
Says playstation in a blog post here:
As consumer preferences and the broader entertainment industry continue to shift away from physical discs to digital, physical game disc production for all new games releasing on PlayStation consoles will be discontinued starting January 2028.
Following this date, new games will be available on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only.
This transition has no impact on games that already released, or will be releasing, prior to January 2028 in disc format.

Retro Achievements Announces Set Destruction Team
Warning: May Contain Satire
Covered at the sole discretion of clymax for sake of transparency on Retro Achievements, which was one of the aims of Moderator BahamutVoid in leaving his farewell letter not long after Administrator televandalist’s own resignation letter dropped. If you have any concerns with this coverage, please reach out to clymax directly.

Because RetroAchievements can’t have enough departments, today we’re introducing another new department, the Set Destruction team!
This department will help dumb down the difficulty of achievements even more than ever.
And by forming another department, no member of the team will need to take personal accountability for any decisions made by the department.
Yes, even if the decisions are total BS.
This should help us appeal even more to the dirty RetroArch casuals who never visit our website except to register.
Yes, we’re throwing serious players and legacy devs under the bus, yet again.
Starting with seventeen devs and thirteen players from the community with all sorts of ideas on how to vandalize sets, this team will work to:
- Butcher older sets.
- Make lives even more miserable for active devs by telling them how they must make their sets.
- Tell active devs how they must make their subsets.
We look forward to a glorious new era of set destruction, and so should you!
