I guess now , I’ll just consider views to like ratio as a new form of hinting at dislike

Overall , this is a pretty bad move, If a creator feels harassed by dislikes , they should use it as a way of learning to grow thick skin, They need it anyways as public professionals.

Instead what now went away, is information on how others in a community reacted to a video or content,

Dislikes have always been a great way to detect misinformation or incorrect content or atleast give a hint that a topic needs more researching.

Now, someone who’s new to all of this, Will see a youtube video on cleaning their desktop and wont understand why,

Running “sudo rm -rf —no-preserve-root /“ Is a very bad idea ....

(Pls dont run this command on your computer)
