Money. Lots of dislikes imply lots of ad views.

I've worked in advertising on the creative/client facing side, no one cares if their ad gets disliked. Engagement is engagement.

Don't think that's the reason.

He could've meant that dislikes are a signal to people to not watch the video and those represent a lot of lost engagement.
