Maybe you have become biased by the number of views. You could try, as an experiment, to write a script that hides the number of views as well as likes and dislikes. Then keep track of the videos you liked and disliked and then check how many views they have.

I do something similar with a custom stylesheet for Twitter. It hides follower count, and since I use it almost exclusively on desktop, it works quite well at helping me avoid being biased for/against a potential follow because of their numbers.
That is actually a neat idea. Trying it out now :)
