I see this mostly because there's very little value in the button itself. There's no critical feedback as to why something is just liked. So constructive criticism cannot be obtained off of it.

Additionally, if the button was removed then the media wouldn't be able to report on videos being the most disliked in history which is then used as an attack on the community as a whole

I don't have a solution for what would replace it, or if anything should replace it. But no other social media platform has one, and they operate just fine. Put on YouTube the dislike button is used more as a weapon than anything else.

It does serve a purpose, but mostly for their algorithms. Knowing what people think of videos allows them to tailor things to the users for maximum engagement. Likes and dislikes aren't really there for the community's benefit. Comments are much more useful in that regard.

Comments that provide actual input, as I mentioned, are a lot more useful for telling people where they might improve than "I don't like this thing you did." I imagine everyone would agree on that point.

I feel like we're talking in circles here. I believe the only reason to remove a dislike button is if you really don't feel confident in the material you're posting... Sort of takes away the possibility of learning the truth.

Plus, there are times when I personally don't care to opine bc it just isn't worth it, so I'll hit the dislike. Either way, my opinion is known.

Have you not seen what happens when any particular faction of the Internet decides to seriously hate on someone? That alone is a reason someone would want the dislike button gone. Social media and its emphasis on likes, dislikes, and such can get pretty unhealthy.

I understand what you mean... I just see it as a cop out
