It's a signal that people don't like what they are hearing. If the propaganda aligns with their interests, the majority will like it. It's not a good signal for gauging propaganda in my opinion.

I find it is an incredible indicator for low view-count videos. If dislikes are greater than likes it's a pretty good indicator you should just skip.

Seems like it'd be useful to hide the dislike count only after the video gets a certain number of likes.
