This sounds like a positive change though

No it isn't. Now people will not be able to comment on videos if the creator decides to make a controversial video. Without dislikes and now the ability to disable comments, youtubers can make up any kind of garbage and misleading content and you will not be able to verify it by looking at the dislikes or comments.

Yea I remember that argument being used for when they removed likes/dislikes - surprise, YT’s not flooded with false videos any more than it was before.

And it doesn’t surprise me that some shithead that uses the term poojeet is against tools to help reduce toxic brigading.
