If only there could’ve been a way to know if a video is helpful and worthwhile or not at a glance…
I mean could we sort the results by likes/dislikes? I don't remember that being a thing but maybe I am misremembering. Like usually it was "relevancy" whatever is that or views.
So yeah you could ignore from the result the ones with a lot of disliked but I don't think we had other than that.
Of course they could have implemented that as well.
Dislikes are no longer publicly visible, unless you use an extension (which would use mostly crowdsourced or interpolated data). There are extensions that show the likes/dislikes before clicking the video, but you cannot sort by it.
