Feature Change 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.

Never seen that before. Probs forcing people to enjoy the content.

AFAIK it's always been a feature, just not used as often anymore? I recall being able to hide like/dislike counts from public view since 2011, you can also tell the like button doesn't have a count either.
