Talk:List of most-disliked YouTube videos/Archive 4

Where are the numbers coming from?
How are numbers being updated ff YouTube quit publicly displaying likes?  Mike  Allen  01:47, 23 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Presumably, using the browser extensions mentioned in the article. I think it's disingenuous for this article to report official YouTube dislike numbers/ratios with the unofficial browser extension estimates. The article will be stronger if we cut it off when they removed the button. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 02:55, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The button is not removed. It is still there. What YouTube did is that it started to hide the number of dislikes a video got. But viewers can still see how many dislikes a video got with the help of browser add-ons. Gahipaj135 (talk) 03:11, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, my bad. "dislike button counter" is what's no longer present. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 03:16, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by "official" and "unofficial"? There's nothing "official" in YouTube numbers anyway. "Official" is something that is declared by some official representative (employee). And those browser extensions don't "estimate" anything. They just un-hide the hidden number. That's all. The number of dislikes is factual. Gahipaj135 (talk) 03:20, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I mean "official" as in "reported by YouTube" itself. As far as I'm aware, the extensions are extrapolating. See e.g. this piece in HowToGeek on one of the extensions: Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 03:25, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, you're right. I stand corrected. I didn't know it was extrapolating. Gahipaj135 (talk) 03:57, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
