I don’t understand why the dislike button is important. Do you feel like you’ve lost agency over the algorithm? Or do you value the opportunity to publicly disapprove?
Perhaps you trust that a like/dislike ratio is correlated to video quality.
For my part, like, share, and subscribe are just different buttons in the Skinner box that is algorithmic entertainment. “Engagement” is free labor for to improve algorithms and train “AI”.
When I search the internet on how to do something I often prefer to read how it is done. In this day and age with google, reddit, Facebook and discord hiding guides behind walled gardens you have to sign up for. Also dont get me started on asking AI step by step directions on how to do something. Often times the only half descent guides are on YouTube but the number of shit clickbait guides makes finding the one you need a giant pain. The number of completely silent videos I’ve watched thinking I’ll see how to do the thing I want is to damb high.
With dislikes I can instantly see not worth my time.
Edit as an example: My I suggest looking up how to replace the headlight bulb in your car if you own one. Bonus points if its made after 2020.
