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.

We can't see it, but creators and anyone they want to share data with (advertisers) can see it.
