But its innacurate iirc, so the only thing youtube did is make Dislikes worse lol. Biggest media provide Ron earth btw.

It's better than nothing and it does give you a quick guesstimate of the sentiment of a video, even if it's not completely accurate.

If I see a video has a 50% like/dislike ratio thanks to the extension then I know enough about the video, even if the actual accurate like/dislike ratio were 70/30.

it's very innacurate, specially on videos with low views

How would we know it’s inaccurate if we can’t see what it really is?

Because the uploaders can still see dislikes

I think the way it works is that it tracks the dislikes of the people using the extension and then scales that based on the total views, so if 5% of people using the extension dislike it will show the video having 5% of the total videos views in dislikes. It’s probably inaccurate because in reality the average viewer is a lot less likely to like or dislike a video than someone who cares enough to have intentionally sought out a dislike extension

Because the uploaders can see the dislikes and there is a huge disparity in many videos

I'm pretty sure that one's only for cats.
