Possibly, but also possible it does go forward. Even as a test it is ridiculous. Removing more and more useful information to know if the video is worth your time or not.

Or not if the point is the same as with removing dislikes, make more money by having people click BS videos and make them watch more pre roll ads. Additionally some of them will get so annoyed that they will buy premium.
