YT says it was subject to abuse. /r says
"No corporation wants their advertisements playing on a widely (and visibly) disliked video. Advertising is a game of positive associations - having your ad play in front of a video that the viewer is predisposed to view negatively because of the dislike ratio is never good.
So removing the UI element that would predispose a viewer to view the video negatively is a good step in reducing brand risk and increasing ad buys.
It also makes the experience objectively worse for viewers, but why would YouTube give a flying f### about that? We don't make them money, advertisers do. "
There is a deep disturbance in the balance. : assholedesign

I'd prefer to see a feature whereby advertisers could suppress their ads on a video where the like/dislike ratio was not to their liking.
