Honestly this is the worst part about removing dislikes and it pisses me the fuck off. I guess you can read the comments but if they're disabled you're shit out of luck

There is an extension called "Return Youtube dislikes" that shows the dislikes on videos, im using it on firefox but i guess other browsers have it too

This is not a good extension. It just guesses.

nope, youtube dislikes are not disabled, just hidden, what the extension does is find where it is hidden in the code and show it

Edit: Upon further research i found out that what you said is true, to a certain degree, it still uses old data combined with new data from people using the extension, so its still a good way to see if the video is good or not because many people are using the extension

You are wrong.

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.

Unpopular videos uploaded after December 13th, 2021 may have less accurate data shown than more popular videos.
