The Firefox plugin "Return Youtube Dislike" does exactly that.

- tarotuser 4y agohttps://returnyoutubedislike.com/faq https://returnyoutubedislike.com/faq "A combination of archived data from before the offical YouTube dislike API shut down, and extrapolated extension user behavior." You're retrieving like/dislike data from that site's API. And when you set a dislike, it gets sent to Google AND returnyoutubedislike.com Given I watch Youtube in a FF container not logged in, I'm not worried at all. But I could see how some people could be concerned .
- Etherlord87 4y agoA problem I see here is that it extrapolates the statistics of users users of the extension, onto all users of Youtube. Fortunately the users of the extensions are most probably better informed than the average Youtube user. However, if the downvotes are more "accurate" (more deserved) because of that, it means they are also more accurate for new videos as opposed to old videos. So I suspect new Youtube videos might have more downvotes than old Youtube videos. Perhaps we could find some reuploads of all Youtube videos and compare the downvotes…
