I found it. It's official.

The most important Firefox Add-On of all time.

Return YouTube Dislike https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/return-youtube-dislikes/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=collection

It adds back on the YouTube dislike numbers so you can see them when you check out a video.

Perfection.

A few notes - I'm being silly calling this perfect/ the most important add on of all time; the numbers are based on a combination of old data + extrapolations; and it's not 100% accurate. But, it's fun.

More info on their website: https://returnyoutubedislike.com/faq

@mdmrn Is this for real? Like those numbers are still exposed via API? Or does the plugin just randomly generate numbers?

@cholling I tried it on random videos and it appears to work or be close to post-removal of the downvote button numbers

Ex: YouTube Rewind 2018 - 20M Downvotes shown
Baby by Justin Bieber - 16M Downvotes Shown

It's part raw numbers, part extrapolation.

Here's more from the website for the extension: https://returnyoutubedislike.com/faq

@mdmrn @cholling so basically they collect likes and dislikes from the extension users and extrapolate to the total number of likes/views? Interesting approach, but I can see how the data could be subject to bias :HoloHmmm:
