YouTube complicated things by having the dislike button double as a literal "I don't like this" and an "I don't want to be recommended videos like this in the future." When you dislike a video, it stamps it with a public seal of disapproval, even if you're just trying to avoid a recommended piece of music on YouTube Music. It's a clunky, confusing UX that gave rise to the inevitable highly upvoted "Who in the world would dislike this?" threads on so many popular videos.
