YouTube Dislike Viewer

From the Return YouTube Dislike project. It archived real dislike counts before YouTube removed them in December 2021 and has extrapolated since from the votes of its browser-extension users, combined with the video’s current like count and views. Likes, views and the rating come from YouTube directly.

For popular videos, close — the project has millions of contributing users and its estimates track well against the numbers channel owners see in Studio. For small or very new videos with few extension users watching, treat it as an estimate. Videos uploaded before 2022 usually carry their real archived count.

In November 2021 YouTube said it wanted to protect smaller creators from targeted dislike campaigns. Creators still see dislikes in Studio; viewers no longer see them under the video. This tool puts the number back for viewers.

The like ratio expressed the way YouTube once did it — five stars for all likes, one for all dislikes. It is a plain function of the two counts, handy for comparing videos of very different sizes at a glance.

The video ID was not found on the dislike API. Check the link — private and unlisted videos are not tracked, and a video that went up minutes ago may not have been seen by any extension user yet. Try again later.

No. The request goes from your browser straight to the Return YouTube Dislike API; our server is not involved. The Copy button gives you a link with the video ID in it, and that is all it carries.
