I'm wondering what's happened to YouTube downvotes? I know they hid the downvote stats at some point. You have an active YouTube account, how is it working these days?

I'm not a YouTube creator myself, but I think they can see that from their account dashboard. I've certainly heard creators discuss the problems of the YouTube algorithm and finding themselves forced to alter their content to appeal to those changes and maintain view numbers. YouTube also kept changing the rules for guns (and probably other topics) and then retroactively punishing people for content that used to be OK.
Yeah as @jacobtothe mentioined, the creators can see the dislikes. There may even be extensions that attempt to do the same for viewers (not sure if still operational). But you still can't see "who" disliked it, don't even think you can see who liked them either.
Yup there are extensions and apps that allows anyone to see the number of downvotes on a youtube video but not who did them.
And Youtube can randomly decide to remove views/followers (maybe likes too) on suspicion of bot activity. Who know if they were actually bots. These web2 giants have too much to push whatever agenda they like.
