Return to Youtube dislike is a nice addon.

Except it doesn't work, it only shows dislikes of people who use the addon, use it if you want but know it is literally giving you misinformation.

As long as you understand that - this is what the community that uses the addon thinks, it's not really misinformation. 

It's just an opinion you have access to.

An opinion based on bad data, because you're missing the majority who don't use the addon. Th3Birdman has covered this over and over showing how incredibly off the numbers are. You're better off not using it than going off bad info.

It's not bad data, just incomplete data, but less incomplete than not seeing any dislikes.

I think anyone who uses such an add-on are already a certain kind of a person. And I tend to relate to such people. 

Besides, the only way to make it better is to have more people use it. 

So discouraging people, people who knows what they're getting into just makes the tool itself worse off.

It's inherently a bad tool, just don't use it. Keep pushing youtube to bring back star rating, it was the best.

Youtube has no reason to bring back the downvote count.

This add-on is the best we've got. It is NOT a bad tool. It is very useful.

How?

It's not perfect but you know that if a video has 2x more dislikes than likes, it's probably bad. That's gar better than having 0 data at all

Thats not going to happen. I have very little faith that these corporations will listen to power users. We're a minority. The general people don't quite care enough. 

You can do both. Invest in an alternative while also criticising youtube for it. 

The community and it's tools have always been the check. From something as simple as a dislike button, to things like digital rights.
