How to get dislikes back on YouTube?
В November 2021 YouTube announced the closure of the dislike counter. You can still rate “Dislike” under the video, but you just won’t know exactly how many people didn’t like the video.
Whether this innovation will somehow solve the problem with persecution of authors is not yet known. But enthusiasts who are dissatisfied with the disabling of this feature have already created a special service Return YouTube Dislike, which will return the display of the number of dislikes back.
Service extensions are available for popular browsers: Firefox and Chrome. The plugin doesn’t just return dislikes. It modifies the design of the site so that you can see the exact number of likes “Like” and “Not like “.
The developers warn that while the service is in the alpha testing stage, the script may not work immediately. To make it work, you should try refreshing the page. If you are interested, the source code of the project is available on GitHub.
