I remember watching some video and looking at dislikes: why is this downvoted this much? Pretty run of the mill video with nothing outrageous or even particularly controversial. Oh it got posted _there_...

Still, I don't think this is the reason. Visible votes simply modify what other people vote on and youtube wanted full control over what users watch instead of the few who actually votes. It is simply not a good metric most likely. Was it improved by removing the dislike bar? I would be surprised if was...
