Except youtube, because dislikes were only used to call out scams and ads. The ad people got mad and now misinformation is easier to spread.

I wouldn’t say ‘only’. There were a lot of downvoted things that were just controversial.

Yes, there were, and for the most part YT promoted those dislikes the same as likes. I think they still do. The dislikes they actually removed were the visible ones, the ones people could use to steer clear of ads and scams.
