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.

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’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.

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.
