How accurate is the dislike count?
Honest answer: it depends on the video. We label every result clearly so you can judge for yourself.
Pre-Dec-2021 videos: exact
For anything uploaded before the dislike-hide, the count is archived from when YouTube still made it public. As accurate as YouTube’s own number was.
Post-Dec-2021 videos: estimated
For newer videos, RYD extrapolates from users of its browser extension who voted. We mark these with an "Estimate" badge so you always know the difference.
Popular videos: ±10–20%
Videos with thousands of daily views give RYD a strong signal. Estimates here are typically within 10–20% of the true count.
Long-tail videos: less reliable
Videos with under ~50K views may have very few RYD-extension viewers, so the estimate is noisier. If the lookup returns no data, that’s why.
Sample bias is real
RYD-extension users skew slightly tech-savvy and English-speaking. We mention it because hiding it would be dishonest — but for the leaderboard tier of videos, the bias is small.
Honest by default
Every result clearly says whether it’s archived or estimated, and when it was last refreshed. No hand-waving.

Browser extensions to see dislikes inline
Want the dislike count back on every YouTube page automatically? Install the official Return YouTube Dislike browser extension. It’s the same data source this tool uses, just rendered into the YouTube UI as you browse.
Why we recommend RYD’s extension instead of building our own: it’s the canonical project that owns this distribution channel and powers the dataset we query. Anything we built would be a worse copy. This tool exists for the “quick check on a friend’s phone” case where installing an extension isn’t practical.
Frequently asked questions
Like and dislike counts are provided by the Return YouTube Dislike project — an open-source effort that combines pre-2021 archived data with crowdsourced extension estimates. We’re not affiliated with RYD; we just think they’re doing the right thing and worth pointing to.
