Yesterday, I suddenly noticed that the “Return Youtube Dislike” extension wasn’t working, as in, I wasn’t seeing any dislikes. Is Youtube the cause of this? or this is just some random bug?

What I heard is for a good while YouTube still had the numbers on the backend of the website, just hidden, and the extension allowed you to continue seeing it, and continue disliking videos.
However they were planning on eventually removing the functionality althoghther instead of it just being invisible to users.
So assuming that’s what’s happened, then I’m pretty sure it’s gone permanently now.
No, return dislike used their own algorithm based off whether users of return disliked it and then compared that to the total views of the video to give a rough idea of the total number. YouTube gave them jack shit
Oh I was mistaken then, my bad!
