They would only use liked videos to do recommendations anyway. So unliked and explicitely disliked should be treated the same. Incidentally I don't think I've ever used the dislike video button, if it's bad I just move away.

I rarely like or dislike anything, unless there's some significant reason to do either. The best example I can think of for when I've happily disliked something was the 2018 YouTube Rewind, which was absolutely atrocious a Google needs to understand that their creators are getting more and more reason to find an alternative to their ridiculously poor management relating to monetization and the algorithms.
