YouTube's most missed feature could be coming to Instagram

YouTube claimed it removed its dislike button in 2021 to cut down on targeted dislike campaigns, which was growing embarrassing for Google (like this video currently at 20 million dislikes) and its corporate and governmental content when so many videos were showcasing a swath of displeased fans. Sure, the removal actually makes the service worse for users, with no way to know if a video is judged good or bad by the community, thus leaving us to find out for ourselves.
