if its "not that much" and creates deception then why make site-wide changes that make it even less transparent? If a video had 4k dislikes and 46k likes then you knew that 4k accounts disliked it. There's little room for speculation there. Now you have to go to the comment section to get an idea of public opinion, where the theorized vocal minority have far more potential influence (because they can leave multiple comments, but only one thumbs down)
