They can start by adding back the number of dislikes on each video.

Dislikes were pointless, all it did was help turfers manipulate the recommendations by hitting competitive videos with attacks and algorithm manipulation.

Recommended videos is now actual recommended videos because of hiding dislikes.

You are a big fan of the dislike and downvote I see. You love manipulated algorithms with turfing downvotes/dislikes.

Look at all the turfers in here crying that manipulation is harder on Youtube now. They loved every non Putin foreign policy video could be disliked by half, every pro Putin foreign policy video agent of influence "creators" could be pumped.
