They don’t want you knowing what other people think of the video. It’s just about what you think of the video. Much easier to have an algorithmically perfect echo chamber if everyone is privately rating things and has no idea what others think about them.
I’m pretty sure that 99% of the time 1 and 5 stars options were used, so like/dislike is enough. There isn’t much point in including a “I have no strong feelings one way or another” button.
Sure there is: A known quantity is always better than an unknown quantity. Though would be far more informative if rating was mandatory, or otherwise defaulted to 3 stars or some such.
Then just assume that video that hasn’t been interacted with is 3 stars, same result. I could see there being an additional like above regular one, like love our something. But YT now kinda has the hype feature which I suppose does a similar job.
It’s so dumb. Just let people rate it with the five stars. They’re so gun-ho with the algorithm let it do its job.

Wouldn’t the simplest solution be to only expose the other ratings after you rate?
But then how do you stop people clicking to see first, locking them in? But then how do you deal with missclicks?
Advertisers forgetting that every person is an accumulation of other pelople influencing their behavior
It’s all bots anyway

The thumbs up/thumbs down thing was fine too.
