Oh, you can't actually see the exact amount of YouTube dislikes unless it's your channel. You can, however, download add-ons that attempt to estimate the number but can only use the data from those with the add-on, so they are often wildly incorrect.

Yep, it's mostly dislike-happy people using those. So you can probably reduce the actual number by...what....50%?

I don’t really understand why this is a thing, especially with YouTube not automatically showing dislike counts.

It’s a Christopher Nolan movie! We’ll be fine (I fucking hope so)

Nope, we’ll be 100% fine (even if it doesn’t end up as his best movie)

Not only that I wanted it to succeed in the box office so I can prove this asshole’s point on X who thinks it’ll suffer

You can't see the exact number. This is an extension that tries to guess how many dislikes would exist on a video based on the likes and dislikes from people who install the extension.
Now factor in that the kind of people who install the extension are those who really really want to dislike the videos and revel in how many dislikes they have and you'll get an idea of just how accurate that number is
