    YouTube did this and pretty much everyone hated it.  Besides, dislikes can be a helpful way to sort out low effort saves.

    YouTube didn't disable the dislikes, they removed the dislike counter so now you can't see how many dislikes the video got.

    There are currently no plans to remove the dislike button, they are important for a multitude of reasons, mostly the front page algorithm and also giving proper feedback on what a "bad save" is.

    Also, the main issue with haters tends to be the comments. Mass disliking happens, but usually by the people that are already leaving mass comments anyway. This would continue, and possibly get worse, if we removed the dislike. Overall save quality would also likely decrease.

    The best thing you can do is to not worry about downvotes, consider if they serve as some kind of valid feedback. If you get constant negative comments by someone, or constant downvotes, let a mod know. But most of the time when I look into downvotes, I find no clear patterns.

     so removing dislikes would be like trying to put out a fire with wd-40 or petrol

     perfect exlantion 

    Also someone I know from school has such a high amount of self esteem that they ignore and delete every comment they don't like even if it's a good criticism. Not really related to this.
