You probably already know but there’s a good extension for returning the dislike button that a lot of people seem to use. And another one for skipping sponsored content automatically and it also adds a highlight button that will skip to what is presumably the point of the video (why you clicked) as well as ublock origin.
Between that and the improved algorithm my YT experience is so much better.
But doesn’t that extension just assume dislikes is some proportion of likes (1/3 comes to mind but I’m not sure why)? The whole point of dislikes is knowing ahead of time that the video is a pile of shite, for example if it’s got 20 likes and 200 dislikes it’s probably not worth bothering with. But if it’s got 20 likes and, say, 7 dislikes based on dislikes=likes/3, that gives you no useful information.
Now if that extension queries some API that returns the hidden 200 dislikes, THEN it’d be useful.
It does a pretty good job with the ratio id say just give it a try?if a video is like 75% or lower it’s usually a pretty shit video or the person has some wack views. I’ve seen a few videos too where it’s as low as ~25%
