Description from store
Return YouTube Dislike restores the ability to see dislikes on YouTube.
Starting December 13th 2021, YouTube removed the ability to see dislikes from their API.
This extension aims to restore power to users by using a combination of archived like and dislike data, as well as the likes and dislikes made by extension users to show the most accurate ratings.
Currently has almost a billion videos data stored before December 13th, 2021
Actively growing and keeping up to date with uploads after December 13th, 2021
The more users that use the extension, the more accurate it will be
Unpopular videos uploaded after December 13th, 2021 may have less accurate data shown than more popular videos.
This extension is currently in an active development phase, so if you experience any issues, don’t hesitate to report them on our GitHub page or in our Discord server.
More features to come soon!

- A once-useful plugin became frustrating after its developers added intrusive full-page popups and a permanent ad pane pushing for premium subscriptions and Patreon support.

- Useful little plugin - unfortunately it got too popular and the devs decided to start monetizing through intrusive full page popups and a massive unremovable ad pane begging for 'premium' subs and patreon on all videos. uBlock gets rid of the obnoxious ad, but I'd be wary of trusting this developer after a stunt like this. In my experience, it's only downhill from here.

- Destroyed any credibility with the patreon pop up.

- Glad the devs quickly reversed the annoying changes.

- Has worked well for free for a long time. Seems like the dev messed up and accidentally made their donation popup un-hideable. A regrettable mistake, but people are being too harsh considering they are maintaining a database w/ 20M DAU for free for the public. Cut people some slack. Things don't magically happen for free, maintaining a database costs money and work, and the level of intrusion the dev has imposed upon you is relatively minor.

- Obnoxious ad popup cant be removed. Ridiculous that an extension that was originally intended to fight youtube's stupid UI changes has itself become the stupid UI change. And happened without any warning to users either. Edit: to the dev who has been responding to everyone saying the "feature" was fixed and the version rolled back, no one wanted this "feature" to begin with, and certainly not enabled by default. Sure you screwed up with the toggle, but it's not even a question of fixing the problem. This was a bad move from the beginning. If you need data storage for the other parts of the app, ask for money through those other avenues, or reach out by word of mouth without disrupting users intrusively. The demographic that uses this extension is very supportive of these extensions and will ALWAYS donate if they are in danger of shutting down. Think of the Internet Archive donations. This is an established extension as well-known as that website. But to market it as premium with an obnoxious teaser side panel rubs people the wrong way and you end up with a bunch of knee-jerk reactions to uninstall.

- Ah yes, the classic “update that breaks everything” move. The extension no longer works unless you pay for Premium — because obviously, who wouldn’t want to spend money just to see dislikes on YouTube? You took something that worked perfectly fine for free, broke it, and then asked for cash. Bravo.

- Removing. There are many dislike button extensions, the UNLOCK PREMIUM side panel is freaking intrusive in PC.

- It no longer works with its new update, and wants you to pay for a PREMIUM. in what world would i pay to see dislikes.

- This was an extension to just put the dislike button back for years, but now the new update has made it so there is a large ad for their Patreon that blocks the recommended videos screen. I have no idea why they would do this, nor why they think they have any chance of earning money through such a simple and unnecessary extension such as this one.

- I'm praying that the guy who wrote this does not have a boss; in the same day, they a) added a nag screen asking for money, that b) inexplicably featured a bug where turning off the nag screen was ineffective. Whatever hope they had of making money off this product (which already existed for a long time for free, maybe engineer something similar but new and exciting to sell if you want to make money) is swiftly floating away.

- Why is there a national leaderboard for a dislike button?

- The premium teaser dislike insights snapshot is in the way. I don't want it I didn't ask for it. And I don't know how to disable it if it is even possible to do so. Other than that it has been a great extension but until I know how to disable the new snapshot I am disabling this extension. Update: It went away after reinstalling the extension.

- Don't want ads :) and no, its not just a changelog. It's an ad. I honestly have no clue how you can't see that.

- Popped up a new tab to show a changelog, we literally don't care, stop spamming your users.

- Now its forcing you on some premium analytics shxt that can't be removed from the top right part of YouTube.
- Anonymous
- They've added some kind of crapy analytics platform premium thing.

- I dont need an analytics platform taking up a quarter of the screen, I need the dislike count. That's why I downloaded the extention.

- Can't hide the "Hide premium teaser panel" on YouTube main page, upper right in the recommended videos panel, even when checked or unchecked in "Return YouTube Dislike-menu", doesn't matter what I do. If you don't fix this, then I will remove it from my browser. I understand you want to sell premium features like analytics, but damned, let us remove the spam for it, so us who don't want that extra features, just can have the dislike thumb back.

- It looks like the premium bug panel has been fixed. Thank god. It requires a reinstall of the extension.

- Genuinely disappointed, it was a really good extension, but now they're desperate for cash and have turned it into adware that wants you to subscribe to their premium subscription service, until someone else can bring the dislike button back, it can go.

- I don't want an ad for your patreon on every video.

- Between YouTube removing dislikes and this extension developing adware for services you don't want, it really does seem like we're just not going to have a proper dislike return.

- I'm this close to deleting it. I turn off the "buy premium" option but it'll constantly bug out and show it anyway.

- Added in an annoying popup for their premium that you can't make go away. I'd be fine if the "Hide premium teaser panel" setting worked, but it doesn't. Isn't it convenient when the settings for stuff literally no one asked for just so happen to be the only settings that don't work?

- TO REMOVE THE NEW ADWARE BOX: 1. Install the Ublock Origin extension. 2. Click on the Extension drop-down menu, shaped like a puzzle piece. 3. Click the "..." next to Ublock Origin and select "Block element..." in the menu that appears. 4. Click the "Pick" button in the box that appears on the bottom right. 5. Point at the outline of the adware box itself to highlight the whole thing and click it. 6. Click the blue "Create" button. The adware box will disappear forever. Enjoy your ad-free experience! Share this with other users so we can collectively extend a neighborly middle finger to the developer of this extension! :D

- yeah way to go - ruin your extension with adware. Review left before I uninstall it. Thanks for the previous effort, but I dont need a dislike button that much.

- At no point in anyone's life did they think, "Oh, if only Return Youtube Dislike had a premium feature with analytics!" Know your place. You have a stupid, simple little program that cannot be turned into money. Get in line or someone else will make your stupid, simple little program but without all of this.

- Tries too hard to sell you premium features you didn't ask for.

- I don't understand why everyone complains about Premium. If you don't need it, just ignore it and disable the detail view (the box next to the video) in the settings. Would you rather have them pay for the servers by selling your data, or by a small fraction of users supporting them through a subscription that even provides deeper insights? My only thought is that $5 might be a bit much for many people, I think they'd probably make more overall if it were around $0.99 instead, even if it sounds counterintuitive.

- I used this to see the dislikes, now it takes up a space on my screen that I cannot close to push Adware. If it is not broken don't fix it!!!

- IMMEDIATELY remove the "dislike insights snapshot" taking up half my playlist screen. Theres no option to get rid of it in one click, its nearly malware at that point. Get rid of it and fire whoever the moron was that thought it was a good idea. Enjoy people strictly withdrawing or refusing to support you because of this very section you added.

- Forced an update which takes up 20% of the screen to shill their patreon for "premium features". Can't get rid of it. Quite literally malware at this point.
