It's unreliable from what I have read

Of course it is, because YouTube doesn't provide the data so it is forced to derive the rating only from people who use that extension.

I'd always wondered how that worked.

Oh no! I thought it accessed some YouTube API that exposed the dislike data, but of course even if it did that, that data wouldn’t have dislikes from people that don’t have the extension!

The point is I’m now even more heartbroken about the loss of the Neutral video’s balance.

My understanding is that It works by storing number of likes and dislikes and computes a ratio then extrapolates it using the number of likes provided by YouTube API.

Here what their site says:

That’s pretty good actually.

It's not exact, but it's still a useful indicator.

Well, I wouldn't say unreliable. It does not match the real dislike count, because it only knows about the people using the extension. It's like the difference between the official rating of an app on the google play store and some third party user review site. It's not that one is more reliable than other, just different people contribute.
