      The removed the dislike count a couple years ago, so you can no longer see if a video is terrible.

          Works surprisingly well even after all this time. I often forget its been removed.

            It isn’t a real count of users who have clicked the dislike button, YouTube no longer makes that data available.

            So I would not put much stock in that number.

              I’m well aware of how it works.

                Then why put any stock in it whatsoever

        The thumbnail and title alone is typically enough to know how garbage it is.
