I've had several conversations with employees of YouTube recently, and the subject of bettering the platform comes up in each and every one of them. My one suggestion to them is to remove the dislike button.

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.
