I say that because clearly they only read the title. It’s funny how his video has 1.5k likes to 15 dislikes but the people from this community are largely down voting.
It’s almost as if this community doesn’t like comprehensive technical breakdowns with tons of sources in the description and would rather feed into their own pre-existing bias.
Apparently it’s based on, according to their FAQ, previous records and “extrapolated extension user behavior.” We’d have no idea if it’s really accurate. I can’t imagine that a vast amount of people are using the extension, and also, that the behavior of people who choose to use the extension reflects the tastes of the YouTube public at large.
It does a lot under the hood to get as close as possible to the actual value.
If you want to see exactly what it’s doing, the code is open source & the maintainer is active in the community.
It’s actually really popular, even outside of the privacy/tech space. It just happens to be the most popular in this area making it more likely to be accurate to the actual value.
It’s less accurate on small videos though, as there’s not as much data to to pull from.
You seem to think a lot of the video.

I thought YouTube doesn’t show a dislike count anymore… where did you see that?
ReturnYouTubeDislikes (it’s pretty accurate, especially in the privacy/tech space were a large number of people are using it)

It may just not be that big of a deal. I wouldn’t worry too much.
