I didn't know dislikes were still a thing in any volume. It was removed years ago, right? I see it patched back in by browser extensions and *vanced apps, but am surprised that can even reach 2%. Are we talking about the same thing? - ThreadSky

We are - the function is still there, but only creators can see the actual dislikes percentage, now.

I disagree with YouTube for removing public visibility. The justification was to stop mass dislikes campaigns against marginalized creators, though to be honest I never quite bought that.

I can understand the rationale but I thought it could've worked more like anti-review-bombing where they just ignore it if there's an obvious campaign.

But when I look up a DIY or tech support video I really do want to know if it's good or bad.

In my experience most malicious campaigns still had a relatively small impact on the ratio. The main situation where you had an awful ratio was if the video was not what it claimed to be, which is very useful to know immediately upon clicking

This is still working for me. Brings it back. Not sure if it's accurate but we could check!

Currently at 466 dislikes.

This extension extrapolates what the value should be based on votes by people with the extension installed.
I think it also grabs actual data from any youtuber with it installed, but haven't confirmed lately.

Useful heuristic, but good to know where it comes from.
