how does this work?

u/cantileverboom Jan 15 '22 edited Jan 15 '22
The API to obtain the dislike count still works, so the plugin calls the API and inserts the dislike count itself.
If YouTube ever removes the API, then there won't really be a way to obtain the dislike count.
(if anyone is unfamiliar with APIs, the Wikipedia page has a decent amount of info on them)
edit: seems like the API doesn't apply for new videos, and bases it off of user data from the extension. Thanks for the info fellow redditors

u/Nijensleekie Jan 15 '22
This is used to be true. That API feature is gone now. They pulled all historical data before it was gone. New videos have estimations based on the users using their software.
23
u/cantileverboom Jan 15 '22
Are you sure? It looks like it's still there (see
statistics.dislikeCount
under https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos#resource-representation )of course, I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if the docs are out of date
edit: saw the other comment explaining it doesn't work for new videos

u/crimpysuasages i poast shit meme Jan 15 '22
Dislike counts still exists, but the API to pull it to user-side experience doesn't. Thus, we can't actually call the API in order to receive real-time and accurate YouTube-based dislike counts any more.

It no longer relies on the API for newer videos since YT removed the option there as well. It guesses based on the plugin users' behavior. Linus tech tips has a great video explaining it. Watch it if you're interested.

u/Zakaker Jan 15 '22
Actually, the API has already been shut down. Quoting from the extension's official website:
"Where does the extension get its data?"
A combination of archived data from before the offical YouTube dislike API shut down, and extrapolated extension user behavior.

u/cantileverboom Jan 15 '22
yeah, saw the other commenters' responses. Really a bummer, and thanks for the update!

u/newtelegraphwhodis Jan 15 '22
Ok but hear me out.
A separate database that stores like/dislike click ratio by users with the extension, then extrapolates the dislikes by total likes on youtube to get a rough estimate of dislikes.
But hopefully the API sticks around.
Edit: oh I guess this is exactly the case now. Bummer

The fact that there is even an extension just to return this feature says a whole lot about how stupid this decision is.

u/delanskie Jan 15 '22
It still will be less dislikes on a video as usual. Because people feel less motivated to dislike a video because it doesn't make a difference for the viewers. I even stopped disliking because there's just no point

Thats a good point actually since they remove it for supposed "targeted attack". They probably just did something stupid and got shamed for it and then cried to youtube about it. But now we cant tell if its actually genuine content or its full of bs

It's Disney and the big companies who complained that the dislike gives bad publicity. The indie youtubers have little to no say about it, I haven't seen any of the ones I follow actually support this decision.

This is also why YouTube used to be superior to googling random instructional articles. If something was giving bad advice, you could tell by the number of downvotes and then find the reason in the comments (e.g. electricians saying that's a stupid ass way to do that and going to get you killed). Websites have no such mechanism and google's search rank AI certainly isn't smart enough to identify bullshit. In fact, it's argue it's worse because the people writing bullshit have studied what makes the rank AI work and game the ranking system.

It's made it so damn hard to troubleshoot my sewing machine. Suddenly I'm following videos that are actually wrong and wasting precious time.
This is my work/business and I feel after the last issue at the weekend, I have lost money due to wasting so much time on 2x 45minute videos of an absolute amateur pretending he knows what to do.
I'm not using it anymore now, back to Facebook groups for sewing machines, and I cancelled my YouTube premium subscription, have added ad block to everything I can. Screw this move by them.

The first hit I got when trying to figure out how to change my car headlight was a video with, "and you're going to remove the whole tire". All the comments pointed out it was wrong, but this was somehow the first one.
Google+ also had a feature where the poster could limit comments, so that lead to situations where you could easily mislead. Wouldn't be surprised if that made it to YouTube.

This is so fucking on point though I fucking HATE that they removed the dislike counter now because you can't gauge how reliable the information you are getting is now. They just completely fucked the viewers with this move and helped out the creators because the creators are the money makers for them. They want more clicks because more clicks means more ads which means more money for them. FUCK YOU GOOGLE AND FUCK CAPITALISM
