I watched that a few days back, it was an interesting video! In fact, I've watched most of his content just to learn more about how things work. It really is a great channel, even if he does repeat himself a little.

There's a chrome extension I use that brings back the dislike button and dislike count

as far as I understand, it's not a real dislike count - it takes the ratio of like:dislike and multiplies it by the total like count.

I never understood why they've done this. Removing dislikes or just never having them. Like, I really appreciated finding a youtube video tutorial, then immediately seeing the significant dislikes, and moving on to find a better tutorial. Now I have to read the comments, only to realize this video got recommended due to its comment activity, rather than what the context of the comments are. Like, jesus, that makes no sense, bad videos shouldn't be recommended based on how many people comment about how crappy it is.
If I'm extra irritated, I'll report the video claiming misleading or dangerous information or whatever.

People need to know when their stuff sucks.

Youtube needs to bring back the visible dislike count. Actually all social media needs a dislike. Add one to my work Teams channels too while we are at it.

I don't know if yours is just more locked down than mine is but we can react with any emoji in the list on teams. We've had fun with that, including the clip art of the shark captioned "we got sued"
