But it seems to only do this in the home tab. Search and subscription tabs still show the view count.

Now I don't think view count is much of an indication of quality for a video, but the number of likes even less so. It varies quite a bit even on video to video from the same creator depending on if a like is called out for, or audience type.

Certainly not the most egregious change they've made, but a bit of an odd one I can't quite figure out why.

Some kind of a...reverse thumbs up? Could it be possible in our lifetime?

A button with a representation of β€œI did not enjoy this video, Mesdames et Messieurs at YouTube, please let others know they, too, may not enjoy it” in some kind of visual medium that is more concise than β€œI did not enjoy this video, Mesdames et Messieurs at YouTube, please let others know they, too, may not enjoy it” would be nice.

That would be impossible, since the only opinion people have is liking a thing, or being indifferent to a thing. Unliking, er...how you say, deliking a thing is not in the realm of possibility
