The dislike button never represented healthy discourse. At its very best, it was a coarse indication that neither suggested nor invited further clarity. Good riddance.

Yeah, an echo chamber is much better. They should get rid of red lights too. They don't really offer any further clarity. Let's just have only green lights (no light at all means stop, of course) /s

The same could be said about Likes, viewcount and comments.
IMO user-based metrics are a good thing (even if they can be gamed), the more the better.
