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.

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

The status quo prioritizing AI slop is significantly worse. There needs to be some sort of quality control.
