was confused initially, i read that YouTube wouldn't be serving dislikes with its api, so was wondering how this could work.
turns out using the extension helps the app gather likes which it caches for later ie: YouTube still serves dislikes for now and this ext takes advantage of that.
after YouTube removes dislikes from the api they have a strategy but somehow i think it'll be unreliable
- qart 5y agoI don't know the Youtube API, but the current method of viewing dislikes is to log out or open a private window. Dislikes are shown just as before.
- chii 5y agoyoutube is probably a/b testing it.
- Beldin 5y agoNo, they're not showing dislikes to creators on their own videos. The rest still gets to see dislikes. At least, that was my takeaway.
- penjelly 5y agono, they just havent completely rolled out the change yet. it has 2 parts - removing the UI element: half done - removing the server data: todo
