They recently disabled "disliking" a video, to prevent hurting
people's feelings, probably the rating had to go for the same reasons?
Usually I access the pages of youtube videos for the purpose of getting information about the video (as opposed to actually watching the video) through a script of my own. One of the things it displayed until recently was the rating of a video. Basically somewhere on the source of the video page there would be something like
"averageRating":"4.9422383"
YT seems to have disabled the dislike function
at all, so people can't say "I don't like that" anymore.
You can still click dislike, but it doesn't show the world how manyThat is what some channel operator wanted: Others can't see anymore
people have done so.

yes, see EEVblab #89, so the initial argument it stops people feeling
hurt that people dislike their video, is bumph.

One of the things it displayed until recently was the rating of a video. Basically somewhere on the source of the video page there would be something like
"averageRating":"4.9422383"
as part of a lot of Javascript. But in the last few days I have not be seeing this. I saw it most recently with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXun3qpzpDk
on 2021-12-12. Now even that video doesn't have it. Looking at this and some other video pages with a couple of different browsers I don't see any "rating"
(I still see "Likes" and "Dislikes"). So I am hoping that you can do some tests of your own and report. If you have a youtube account (I don't) try the page with and without being logged in to see if a rating appears on one occasion but not the other.

This explains why you are no longer seeing that data.
Snowflake Protection policy. If you can't stand the heat, stay out
of the kitchen.
OTOH, perhaps the Governments (apparently their videos draw a lot of dislikes) themselves are the snowflakes...

For, Germany this is true and also applies to semi-governmental TV
stations. Also politicians and parties are affected by a big amount of dislikes.

Given the fragile snowflakes that have been raised as the most recent
new generation, where everyone got a "participation trophy" for the
game, but no team "won" or "lost" it coddles the new generation in the
way they have grown accustomed to being coddled.

They just don't want that people can say that they don't like some
videos. Especially government operated channel's videos were massively disliked by some people, so they channel operator decided to turn the
voting system off. Not YT seems to have disabled the dislike function
at all, so people can't say "I don't like that" anymore.

The opposite: the creator of the video can still see the number of dislikes. If they were offended by that before, they still will be.
The difference is that an organised dislike campaign doesn't get any gratification from seeing the dislike count rise, and YT hope this will reduce the impact of campaigns to remove revenue from creators through using the dislike feature as a weapon, like an inverse petition.
