There were even extensions for showing a bar display of the ration under the thumbnail. So my guess is the answer would be “enough”

I’d just check the title and length to see if it was going to answer whatever query I had.

“Does this video have boobies?”
“No. It’s youtube.”

Both bird and mammal boobies exist on that website.

You asked a question no one can answer.
Instead of asking impossible questions, I suggest just using a bit of logic. Officially, YouTube removed the like/dislike because they felt people were prejudging videos before viewing them themselves. Unofficially, people speculate they did it to have greater control of what people watch. But in either case, such a change would only make sense if plenty of people were checking the ratio prior to viewing. If no one ever paid attention to it, then there wouldn’t be anything to be gained by tampering with it.

Would have thought it was because a bunch of thumbs down on advertisements looks bad for advertisers.
