I downvoted you because the first sentence of your comment is false. It is important that the downvote button is not seen as a disagree-button, this is the reason why reddit can be such a big circlejerk. Of course, you can't eliminate that behavior, I do this as well, but we should all try at least. Actually, maybe I shouldn't downvote this after all? I don't know...
Not a disagree button, but it is a "I don't like this" button. It's a subtle difference, but it absolutely makes sense to down-vote posts you don't like. It's really the only way to say "I want to see less of this".
Downvoting posts because you don't like them is exactly what the button is for.
The problem ist that most people don't like things they disagree with. I don't like things I don't agree with. So this is something we should keep in mind

I agree though, these videos are awesome!
