General information
This is a Chrome/Firefox/Userscript extension that return dislike statistics to YouTube. For now, it only works if a video had public display of dislikes enabled before YouTube removed dislike stats.
Base dislike stats are retrieved from YouTube API while it's available. When API closes - the extension will use data from extension users to derive actual dislike count on a video
YouTube has removed dislike statistics. Since this was a very usefull feature - this extension aims to return this functionality to users.
We're considering integration with YouTube Vanced mobile app, if the devs will want to utilize our API
The downvotes count looks like this, similar to what it used to be before it was removed
Like/dislike ratio bar is coming soon

Currently we're using YouTube API to get dislikes count. It may take some time for data to be updated. YouTube might freeze dislike counts as well. We're working on a solution for this
