It's so dumb. Just let people rate it with the five stars. They're so gun-ho with the algorithm let it do its job.

They don't want you knowing what other people think of the video. It's just about what you think of the video. Much easier to have an algorithmically perfect echo chamber if everyone is privately rating things and has no idea what others think about them.

Wouldn't the simplest solution be to only expose the other ratings after you rate?

Well it isn't beneficial for the company because people might realize they hold unpopular opinions and the company wants to be able to control the people's opinions regardless of popularity, that way they can keep users on the site engaging with that content for longer.
