Yesterday, I suddenly noticed that the “Return Youtube Dislike” extension wasn’t working, as in, I wasn’t seeing any dislikes. Is Youtube the cause of this? or this is just some random bug?
Not an open-ended, thought providing question. Locking.
YouTube made some minor UI changes, which caused the current version of Return YouTube Dislike in the Mozilla Addons Store to not work. A fix has been submitted for review to Firefox and other browser stores, but that takes time and Mozilla has get to accept the new version. Adding the current version manually from their GitHub page does work just fine, if you don’t feel like waiting.

I wish videos were hosted on different websites like the old days. Your friends would suggest a website to you to see a funny video like dumb.com and homestar runner. YouTube came along and now they have a monopoly on 99% of full length videos. Make your voice heard and stop using YouTube- host your own videos and keep the spirit of the old web alive

I downloaded most of my favorite videos so I can watch them offline and ditched it ever since. I’ll watch if I need to find specific how-to info but other than that I managed to cut it out of my life.
A home server is less expensive than YouTube Red. Download all their videos and periodically purchase new hard drives instead of giving YouTube a cent. Monthly fees are eating people alive. We have to be fighting back.
Unfortunately I’m not networking saavy, but at the very least my Roku TV can play most video files from a USB. I have most of my favorite shows like On Cinema At The Cinema and King of the Hill downloaded and organized by season. Got any tips for labeling show folders that have a season 10? It assumes it’s next to season 1.
Ironically, YouTube fixed the problem of having to search for videos all around the internet.
You can still upload on archive.org
I’ve been thinking about getting a Nebula subscription for awhile now. Most of the channels I subscribe to are on there so I’d feel good paying to support them. And Practical Engineering’s new (now finished) series was so good, I want to see more stuff like that instead of hoping the YouTube algorithm suggests something worth watching
Use their TamperMonkey add-on, that seems to still work. I uninstalled the extension before enabling the TamperMonkey userscript. Firefox here.
I still see the dislikes on Revanced and Libretube. Might just be a UI change on desktop.
Known issue, they are working on it.
Huh…weird. I can still see the dislike button itself, but there is no longer a number next to it. (Firefox desktop browser here, up to date)
That means it’s no longer working. YouTube never removed the dislike button, just the dislike counter.
What I heard is for a good while YouTube still had the numbers on the backend of the website, just hidden, and the extension allowed you to continue seeing it, and continue disliking videos.
However they were planning on eventually removing the functionality althoghther instead of it just being invisible to users.
So assuming that’s what’s happened, then I’m pretty sure it’s gone permanently now.
No, return dislike used their own algorithm based off whether users of return disliked it and then compared that to the total views of the video to give a rough idea of the total number. YouTube gave them jack shit
Oh I was mistaken then, my bad!
Why the fuck are there people still using YouTube? They rip off content creators and treat their user base like shit- and yet, everyone still flocks to use their services.
In a more intelligent world- YouTube wouldn’t even exist anymore.
Dislike works for me without any plugins.
No it doesn’t
You can dislike a video without an extension. You just can’t see a number.
Nobody ITT is saying that the dislike button doesn’t work though
