The Dev tried to push a little e-beg window into his app which caused a lot of negative reviews. The Dev lost their mind and started replying and arguing with EVERYONE in the comments who was upset with the change and left a comment about his extension.

The Dev messed up big time in how he implemented this ad and how he is responding to the negative feedback. I removed the extension because the Dev appears to be really unstable and not untrustworthy. He even responded to this comment below blaming everyone else but himself. If he has this much of an ego I would be afraid of what he might do and don't want him to have access to anything on my machine.

I know everyone's gotta eat and nothing is truly free, but the way the large advertisement is implemented is obnoxious at best. I'll be uninstalling for the time being.

This extension is trying to monetize showing one bit of useful information on the page with intrusive ads and a premium tier.

Stay away. Tries to scam you with a $5 / month premium subscription. Greedy.

asking for premium for such a simple addon

You're not getting my money for something that hardly works anymore, get off my computer

I no longer trust the developer after an intrusive advertisement was added. I am going to find another way to view dislikes or none at all.

Dodgy shenanigans are going on with this extension for Chrome, with pop under adverts for some "premium" scam. Lost all trust in it and the developer, so removing from all browsers on all devices.

Doesn't work on Fennec.

There hasn't been a public API for pulling official numbers for years now. These apps just invent fake numbers based on extrapolations from the tiny minority of people that install the apps, which self-selects for a sad, dislike-obsessed population of people, skewing the numbers more negative than they actually are.

Dont work anymore.

Suddenly stopped working for no reason. Toggling the extension/reinstalling does nothing.

Doesn't work, constantly glitches and breaks YT. Often shows you removing a dislike when disliking a video. Just flat out doesn't work.

Не работает + саппорт юкрэйн meh

Crashes the browser.

Final update: I was pretty gullible in thinking that the downvotes would actually be real. What I've deducted that they're actually just a depiction of what the extension thinks it should be based on even your own vote. Bottom line is the downvotes aren't actually real this extension merely produces a count to fit a narrative based on your own vote. Silly of me to think that a third party app would change something like that on youtube's websites. I do feel pretty had tbh.

I actually think it does work. You have to do some password logging in (to check to see if youtube's just honoring your vote while logged in) and out due to youtube's way of displaying the downvotes, but with this app you can see them regardless if you're logged into yt or not which I later found. So when I logged out, closed browser (cookies deleted) and then opened browser to the same vid - and not logged in....I could see the downvote in-fact had changed. I did this with both downvoting and then clearing the downvote by upvoting and it does seem to register my change in the vote.
