Ironically, giving a thumbs down on a YouTube video actually helps its' organic rating within the site. As far as I am aware, they basically add both upvotes and downvotes together to show total votes and rank it on engagement based on the total number.
I know this from my own videos. Some of my best ranking organic videos are videos that have the most downvotes.
