The fact that youtube hasn't removed the like/dislike ratio yet is unbelievable. It's such a relic of the past, when the internet was actually considerably free and social media weren't all powerful dystopian entities who control the world, and it's actually the only reason Youtube is still somewhat tolerable compared to the rest.
I give it 3 years tops before they remove it with some retarded excuse such as "we promote love and understanding and the dislike feature is too hateful!" and fulfill the inevitable sanitization of every big tech site and effectively remove any form of dissent for the sheeple.
The thing is, Like / Dislikes are fake numbers now. We know that YouTube and certain entities (e.g. Government partners, YouTube advertisers) can manipulate these numbers. The system may as well not exist when the numbers are fake.
