Quite often, simply disliking something isn't beneficial to anyone. The internet is full of trolls and people that just want to make others feel bad. That's not going to change anytime soon. So, even if there is not an official method of "disliking" something, they will find a way.

In the world of content creation and consumption (e.g. YouTube, Twitch.tv, Netflix, etc.). Consumers hold all the power. If you're watching a YouTube video or a Twitch stream you don't like, just turn it off. No one will know or care that you don't like some content on the Internet. As I've heard many times from various content creators that I follow, "Don't like what you see? -- There's the door. Get out."
