      dislikes do give a first impression to the viewer, and can be used to get a general sense of video reception. so theyre not useless, it’s just most people like the video anyway because their told to at the start of every video.

        I’m not saying they’re useless. I’m actually pointing out that dislikes on comments already not show to anyone else and doesn’t even affect the ranking.

      I use it to hopefully signal to the algorithm that is carefully updating my google data profile that I don’t want to see more of that kind of video.
