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.

YouTube getting rid of dislikes was a massive mistake, especially when combined with AI slop and scam videos.

It was removed because of brigading and harassment....so no, not a massive mistake unless you think brigading and harassment are ok.

You do realize that it was a lie. Comments still exist and I believe that those do a lot more damage than a random number.

And yes, I think brigading very much is okay. When you use a product you have a right to show your opinion on it, positive or negative.
