What's the point, if downvotes are no longer a factor in the YT backend?
To save you time avoiding a bad instructional video.
It's more complicated than that. The button still exists even without the add-on and the back end factors it in and I think shows the creator, but doesn't show it to the front end. So the add-on doesn't have the real numbers but there still are real numbers
It's a good enough approximation. Do you really need to know if the massively downvoted video had 357,923 downvotes or 357,924?
