        It’s where the main devs have gone now after Revanced banned the devs responsible for about 80% of the code.

    STOP USING YOUTUBE. USE PEER TUBE.

    If you are a content creator; especially a new creator, make peertube your default.

      I’d love to see PeerTube get more use, but the one issue for creators is monetization. I don’t really see a great way for creators to make a decent income through PeerTube. We all hate the ads, but… That’s where a lot of their money comes from. Without a solution to that, creators are never going to embrace it, unfortunately.

        There is buycoffie site to give donation to creators. Many yt creators dont get much money from yt ads cause they get demonetisation frequently.

    I have Opera just specifically for the purpose of watching YouTube since it can still run UBlock. I use chrome for everything else.

    Any plugin claiming to bring back youtube dislikes usually does it with some off-site database, that can be easily manipulated, as the API for it has been deprecated completely.

      For new videos (ones they don’t have old scraped data to rely on) they capture the like and dislikes from users who have the extension installed, and extrapolate the amount of dislikes from that ratio and the amount of likes YouTube shows.

      Surely that doesn’t skew the data in any way.
