You’re right, just checked out YouTube without my add-on. So weird on why they even keep it.
We can't see it, but creators and anyone they want to share data with (advertisers) can see it.
It still affects engagement statistics/algorithmic suggestions, and video posters can still see them to help gauge what content is liked or not. It's just hidden from viewers.
