YouTube testing removing public 'Dislike' counts on videos - will it get a thumbs up?

As all social media platforms are now keen to come down on negative behaviour (on their platforms), YouTube too seems to have joined the fray. It has launched a new experiment which will see the 'dislike' counts visible to the public removed on some creators' videos. Creators of videos will, however, continue to see the full like and dislike counts in YouTube Studio. Further, viewers will also be able to like and dislike videos as normal. Just that the dislike numbers won't be visible.  In a few weeks time, YouTube will start selecting users to be part of this experiment.

Your auto-payment for Amazon, Netflix may fail from tomorrow - This is why

Banking and credit card customers who have activated recurring auto-debit transactions to pay bills for phone, internet and online streaming services may see their payments fail from tomorrow (April 1) as the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) mandate to banks for putting in place a security measure called Additional Factor Authentication (AFA) is set to kick in. Many banks have already put out messages to their customers that since they are working on meeting the requirements laid down by RBI on e-mandate on cards for recurring transactions, any standing instruction for recurring transactions will not be approved. UPI transactions are not covered under the new rule, and hence they will be unaffected. It must also be clarified here that the RBI guidelines are only for e-mandate on cards for recurring transactions, and will not affect the standing instruction given on net banking for utility payments.
