Saying that it was weighed against the intrest of advertisers is not correct. It was a political descision made to stop political opponents from leveraging the dislike ratios of certain online videos to their favor in debates. There is no proof that it was because of invalid dislikes, made by bots or anything like that. Calling the source of the dislikes trolls is unsubstantiated. Why Youtube cares about politics is a large topic, but I don't think it is in any way shape or form correct to state that it was a advertiser/investor/monetary driven descision. Sites have likes/dislikes because it increases engagement, even negative engagement is engagement.
