The dislike count is still in the data returned by the YouTube API[0], so they're probably getting it from there. [0]https://developers.google.com/youtube/anal

  Are you sure? I remember reading that data would be removed at the end of last year.

    I don't have an API key handy, but it's not marked as deprecated/removed in the documentation, so I can't see why it wouldn't still be in there. The dislike count is also still present in the [0] video API response. [0]https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos#resource https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos#resourc...

      > it's not marked as deprecated/removed It's not marked as deprecated or removed because dislikes were never deprecated or removed, nor implied to be. They made it private (readable only to the uploader) and marked it as private. A plug-in using this API will only tell you the dislike count for your own videos.

  That's the analytics API. We already know they show dislikes to the channel owner. Isn't this the same thing? And your other comment says "The dislike count is also still present in the [0] video API response." but the page says right there "Note: The statistics.dislikeCount property was made private as of December 13, 2021."
