Were dislikes on YouTube just a tool to be weaponised or were they actually useful?

YouTube removed the dislike button back in 2021 in an effort to curb dislike attacking behaviour, but the controversial move left creators and users without a meaningful piece of information - how good or helpful was the content.

I totally appreciate that negative reactions can be weaponised, but they do have the ability to help people make informed decisions.

Do you think a negative reaction feature could be used in a helpful way, and if so, what would this look like?
