>>33741215If you don't like a stream, interacting in any way with it including the "dislike" button helps the stream in the eyes of yt. They don't give a shit whether it's thumbs up or down, clicking either shows engagement, and that's a metric that can be sold to advertisers and that favors the channel.
Bothering to click the dislike now is even stupider as it's not even visible and the only way to see someone's guess work projection of it is some extension nobody knows about.
If the masses disapprove of something you can't really know as normal people cbf clicking the like button (and subscribe button for thst matter) much less the now ineffectual dislike. People will just loose interest and stop visiting a channel. Attention spans are fleeting, and there's a gorillio things on yt or twtich to watch.
The only way to mark true disapproval of any yt'er is looking over time as people drift away.
