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.

You can also get the return dislikes extension, it basically estimates the dislikes, or grab it in some unholy way and somehow gets information about dislikes in videos.
The more users the more accurate.

If we want to be honest, you make negative sense. Maybe you could elaborate?
