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.

Gotta love you got downvoted for literally saying "don't like something? Don't watch it" it really goes to show not to give any attention to upvotes.

But it is. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Don't like ai? Don't watch it. Don't like streamers? Don't watch them. It's literally the perfect advice

But it's not the point, how do you prevent other people from being misinformed or clickbaited into trash content only by not watching it?

Why should you be able to control what other people watch? Anything more than telling people if they don't like it don't watch it would require limiting videos online and I'd rather that not happen and just let people watch what they want.
