      They’re more than good enough though. The like-to-dislike ratio it shows always lines up with what you’d expect the video to have.

      I would say that it is just like random sample from statistics. You won’t really get accurate count, but you will get a ratio beetween likes and dislikes.

      But iirc return YouTube dislike extrapolates only for the videos where it doesn’t have enough data. So for new videos it can record the amount of dislikes through the extension, which makes it far more accurate (although the sample size is still a little bit smaller than it was on YouTube).
