Several months have now passed since Alphabet decided to remove dislikes from YouTube videos 1. On November 10, 2021, in fact, with a post on your blog, YouTube announced that dislikes would no longer be publicly visible although the creators could have continued to display them. Show Youtube Dislikes, as you can well imagine, allows you to get around this obstacle and go back to seeing the Dislikes.
This choice was not liked by anyone and the projects that allow you to review the Dislikes have multiplied, among all we decided to choose the project Open source Return YouTube Dislike and the application present on F-Droid which uses the same API as the site, that is Show Youtube Dislikes.
The operation, especially on the user side, is in fact very simple to use. It will be enough for you install the extension present for all Browsers and from that moment on you will be able to view the number of dislikes under each video.
Show Youtube Dislikes on F-Droid
The application of F-Droid, Show Youtube Dislikes, however, it works slightly differently and is a little more mechanical. After installing it, it is necessary to paste the link of the video concerned and we will be shown various information, including the dislikes:
- dislikes (I don't like);
- like (I like);
- ratio (old voting system);
- views (the number of views);
- video links (video link).
An application therefore certainly not fundamental, as you well know we push a lot on the abandonment of these platforms in favor of decentralized and federated alternatives such as the legendary PeerTube. However, we understand well that YouTube is still there one of the most visited sites in the world and therefore an application and an extension of this kind can certainly be useful to someone or someone.
As always, we leave you the references below.
