But it is better for people not to be so focused on numbers like removing number of likes on Instagram.
Is my mental health really something I want Google managing?

Hmm at a glance I dont see a major issue here, my concern would be that I dont click on vids with shit numbers so they are now on a more equal footing.

They are not managing so much as they are eliminating a likely issue for users and the public.

That’s a lot of words to describe managing.

I don’t mind seeing vids with small numbers (many are genuinely cool) but I avoid 500k and above (except music) because the mainstream is mostly clickbait.

Wouldn’t the YouTube creator need to see views for ad revenue? Are they removing them for viewers or creators too?

I don’t know what’s up with the algorithm pushing these lately. If it’s a video with 4 views from a channel with no subscribers I’m probably not interested in it. Sometimes they have a good thumbnail/title so I give them a chance but 9/10 times it’s terrible. Also often extremely right wing for whatever reason.
