    It’s not real though, you do know that right? There isn’t some hidden dislike count that YT has that the extension can access.

    I imagine it’s taken from other users of the extension clicking the dislike button. A biased and wildly uneven sample. I would not put much stock in it at all.

      It is real, it’s just not data from YouTube. The information on how it works is made very clear, and people using it should be aware of the drawbacks.
