They want more money. Helping the user is only good if it makes money. Anyway, down votes give viewers more information, and probably YT wants to doctor the data in a way that downvotes block.
For example, I would always downvote AI content if allowed. So would countless others. But YT wants people to watch it, right? So they gotta suppress our negative feedback.
Youtube wants you to brainlessly watch whatever the algorithm spits at you next. Ideally, you'd have no information at all about the video before watching it. No title, no creator name, no view count, no thumbnail, nothing. Just CONSOOM. Attach their slop hose directly to your mouth and don't ask questions about what's flowing through it.
