I think Youtube keeps testing it. I noticed it was removed and then a day later it was back, then it was removed again, and now today they are back again.

It's really annoying, though, if you look for a specfic tutorial, and there are tons of either awful or downright useless tutorials, and it was easy to spot them and don't waste time by just seeing the amount of dislikes.

It's an important user metric just second to comments imo. It can allow the user to quickly peruse through low quality videos, clickbait, incendiary or misguided content, etc. All without having to invest much time into comments or the video itself. This is just practical application let alone like/dislike for enjoyment of content, disagreement, etc. Just a crap move from Google/Youtube to protect a few from public sentiment.

It wasn't to protect a "a few from public sentiment". That was just the excuse they gave. It was to protect companies/goverments from public sentiment.

The idea behind it is good in theory; it can help stop brigading. Though to echo others the like-to-dislike ratio definitely helps filter out a lof of useless, disingenius or non-factual videos quicker than skimming through the video and adding to the analytics and finding out the hard way that it was all for nothing.

I feel that the real reason was simply that companies and goverments like to make a lot of videos, and they dislike when people can vote negative. It's bad publicity.
