I don't know what you think the decision making process was on that, but you're wrong.

Such decisions are not made on one single metric. these are multi faceted decisions.

Could dislike counts/ratios per like/view/minute been part of the decision? Absolutely. Did certain topics were worse than others? Again, yes.

Is this a whole story? No. Could this have been part of the decision process? It would be hard to convince me it wasn't at least due to human nature.

OK thanks for the clarity.
