Does anyone know if the dislikes extension is actually accurate or is it a sort of estimation
For new videos it's an estimation with added dislike data of people using the extension, it's rather accurate for most videos. For old videos before the dislike removal it uses old archived data plus new data added on top using the algorithm and data by the extension users
