YouTube is much worse since they straight up removed dislikes (unless you get some add-on)

YouTube has dislikes. The thumb down is still there. But it doesn't show the results.

You’re right, just checked out YouTube without my add-on. So weird on why they even keep it.

It still affects engagement statistics/algorithmic suggestions, and video posters can still see them to help gauge what content is liked or not. It's just hidden from viewers.
