1984 Rising?

I’ve noticed something very interesting on YouTube. The videos still have Like and Dislike buttons, but all the Dislikes have been removed. Does this mean that we’re no longer allowed to have a negative opinion?

This is onerous enough in itself, but what’s really worrying is that it appears to be part of a general trend of suppressing dissent. I feel a suspicion that there is a darkly coercive movement going on around us, a movement towards Orwellian control, and I don’t like it at all. This is not paranoia because I’m not a paranoid person, but I’ll be watching for further evidence.
