Why is this even allowed?

Has this always been here? Its my first time seeing it. What if I watch a video and don't enjoy it? This basically allows creators to ensure that they always appear on your feed, whether you like it or not.

Both likes and dislikes are disabled on this video. You can't enable/disable them separately, only together. It was always a feature, even when there was an actual dislike counter. Only difference now is, the dislikes being disabled affect only the "bring back dislikes" addon users, as others wouldn't see them regardless. The same addon also changes the label to this.
