RatioMeter for YouTube
Extension Actions
Displays a tier rating for YouTube videos based on their like/dislike ratio.
🎯 RatioMeter for YouTube
The real rating system YouTube doesn’t want you to see.
You know the struggle. You click a video with a flashy title and a killer thumbnail… and 30 seconds in, you realize it’s mid. Or worse complete clickbait.
That’s where RatioMeter comes in.
RatioMeter for YouTube is a Chrome extension that gives you real insight into a video before you watch it. It adds a clean, customizable overlay to YouTube videos showing you actual like/dislike data, how engaged viewers are, and even a simple tier rating so you can tell what’s worth your time.
🔍 What RatioMeter shows you (and why it matters):
📈 Tier Rating
Think S-tier to F-tier, based on how much people actually liked the video. Quick to read, surprisingly accurate. If it’s sitting at “A+”, you know it’s gonna be good.
👍 Like Ratio (%)
The percentage of people who hit “like” vs. total votes (likes + dislikes). YouTube stopped showing this, but RatioMeter brings it back.
⭐ Rating (0–10)
It’s like Rotten Tomatoes or IMDb, but for YouTube. The math is based on the like ratio, converted into an easy-to-read score.
🔢 Total Votes
See how many people voted likes AND dislikes combined. A 98% like ratio from 420 people? Not the same as from 72,727.
📊 Engagement Rate
This tells you how interactive the audience is. More votes per view = more engagement. High engagement usually means a more interesting or polarizing video.
🧪 Powered by Real Data
This extension uses the Return YouTube Dislike API, which pulls community-sourced like/dislike counts to give you the full picture something YouTube itself removed.
⚙️ Make it yours
You can toggle everything. Don’t care about engagement rate? Hide it. Want the labels (“Tier:”, “Rating:”, etc.) gone for a cleaner look? Easy. You’re in control.
