I don't have a strong opinion on this topic, just pointing out a flaw in your logic.
If you go to any video on Youtube right now, you'll see there are 0 dislikes. The bar is 100% green. A while ago they switched dislikes on the rating bar from bright red to a subtle gray, making all the ratings look a lot more positive. Are they just having technical difficulties right now, or could they be easing into an only positive feedback system?
I have my own personal reasons to dislike them, but I'd be interested in knowing some of the key reasons for their almost universal hate in the tech world.
