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...

dislikes.

Does the rating of videos still affect the order in which youtube presents
videos , after a search for example ?

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.
