I have seen this opinion presented multiple times without any supporting facts. When did deflation in history lead to collapse of society? Japan is in deflation for a long time and the life goes on. On the other hand, the inflation in Germany lead to WW2, inflation was also at least partly responsible for the hunderd year war in Europe and the fall of the Roman Empire.

No idea what HOW TO videos you watch, but in my domain, 80% are garbage, where the dislike ratio saves me minutes of watch time on each.

There are better ways to prevent downvote brigades than removing dislikes altogether. Not to mention that keeping likes around doesn't solve anything, as it can be exploited in the same way by upvote brigades! As long as you don't start to actively detect fake accounts and don't limit the number of upvotes / downvotes per day a person can give, it will always be possible to game the upvote metric by a small group of people / bots.
