Not only the Like/Dislike. But they need to be able to remember your last place.
Scroll down, find one of your subscripitions. Watch a video from the channel than go back and you'll find that you have to scroll all the way back down again if you want to watch a video from the channel below the one you just watched. Or any other channel for that matter.
It makes it really annoying.

It got an update a week ago that got rid of L2 and R2 being able to skip forward and back by 10 seconds. It's really annoying to have to hit X or up just to open the small menu to go forward and back. I really wish they tested this with a small group before releasing it, but at least it looks better than going to Youtube directly through the internet browser. It doesn't look amazing, but noticably better.
