I seem to recall that people found that the like and dislike buttons equally improved the video’s visibility in the algorithm, causing many youtubers to genuinely suggest disliking the video as their call to action.

I hate the one-sided engagement button. It elevates trash.
Back in my day you only watched YouTube videos for tutorials on how to do stuff.
i remember spending two hours making sure the background of my youtibe profile theme tiled correctly.
Fuck yourube lol, couldn't care less if the like button and the rest of the website disappeared too
Man, influencers and looksmaxxing idiots are gonna starve if that happens. How we will know the world is turning into a fucking clown show without it???

back in my day it was kinda easy to find interesting content
It still does and you can see the usual like:dislike ratio as normal with SmartTube and other similar and far better, feature-rich applications for YT content.
