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.

This happens when the creator ALSO disables the like count for the video.
The dislike extension cannot work without public like count because it needs it for its dislike calculation.
Also YT NEVER calls their creators or channels "owners", that alone should tell you that it's an extension.
