Part of it might have to do with Star Wars. There's a lot of things that can be said for the franchise and everything in between. You have a fanbase that does not like the direction Disney and Lucasfilm is going towards. Too much stuff over the last six years. Double standards regarding the firing of Gina Carano (yet that piece of shit Mark Hamill can say disturbing and nasty things on Twitter). That's just the beginning. If Disney is going to YouTube to curb this "issue", it tells you more of how thin skinned the conglomerate is with criticism. Corporate companies not liking that they get bashed.
Catering to Hollywood and the news (liberals, I don't know) would only hurt the site. YouTube is not only those type of videos. It's also big content from people who grew their own brand and trends and many other things. Canning the dislike would cause much more trouble. You have to have criticism. Is it all legit? No, but I don't think it's doom and gloom for all videos. If it's panned by more than just a "dislike campaign", you know you've done something wrong. I get it a little bit. Some people get really nasty stuff posted all the time. Its top 50 most disliked videos include a Justin Bieber song, Logan Paul, and several other prominent people. But disregarding criticism is something that would cause more damage than to fix.
When it comes to changes, YouTube is usually met with a lot of criticism. Honestly, they come off as people who don't give a shit about its content creators. They are basically robots and don't listen to anything. Whatever the case is, they should not bow down to Disney or any of the Hollywood douchebags. Or even politicians. Criticism can help determine what works, what can be fixed, if something is wrong. You lose that dislike feature, and it will be hard to gauge if the video was a success or failure.
