Do you really need to know if the massively downvoted video had 357,923 downvotes or 357,924? permalink fedilink source parent [–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago (1 child) It's more complicated than that. The button still exists even without the add-on and the back end factors it in and I think shows the creator, but doesn't show it to the front end.

I download a lot of videos with yt-dlp and have seen ratios where up to 20% of total likes being from Return YouTube Dislike users. Like here's a video with 188,573 likes in total of which 28,330 were submitted to the data base: https://returnyoutubedislikeapi.com/votes?videoId=dtjb2OhEQcU The users disliked 130 times which was extrapolated to 356. No idea how that formula works, I believe users with this plugin could be more likely to dislike videos than users without that plugin which may be factored in. permalink fedilink source parent [–] gezero@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago There are dozens of us permalink fedilink source parent [–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 1 week ago I had to get rid of it when it caused massive slowdowns for me. That's probably fixed by now... permalink fedilink source parent [–] aamram@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 1 week ago yeah it works good enough for people who knows what's going on. permalink fedilink source parent
