Without dislikes you don’t know if people just didn’t like the video or if it was unsuccessful because of the algorithm. Views or likes alone aren’t a clear answer.
I meant as a user. Now you have no way to know if people liked a video. It could have many views because of advertising or being shown in a prominent place.
Care to elaborate? Seems like a sensible change unless you’re in the business of selling dislikes.

Afaik, the dislike count is still there, but private.
right-wingers have monopolized dislikes since the very beginning, a lot of “people” will be against this change
I feel like I’m seeing that effect here? I never noticed that lemmy broke out downvotes but here we are.
lemmy can be a really bigoted platform
