      No the API is dead. The extension everyone is using calculates their own dislike number by inferring from the extension users who disliked the video

          Afaik it’s only for the YT-Studio backend, so creators can see the dislikes but there is no public access to that data

              I meant that while the button is still there the Data is only available for the uploader via the Studio backend. The public API is dead, wich I omitted in the original comment for simplicity

                How is:

                the Data is only available for the uploader via the Studio backend.

                different from:

                it just doesn’t show numbers because YouTube is a coward.

                ?

                You were more technical than the top level comment and framed it as a disagreement.

                  Because the second can implies the data is still available but not displayed. I wanted to specify that the data isn’t available (for the public). I don’t disagree with the top per se but wanted to clear up the ambiguity

                    I don’t disagree with the top per se

                    Maybe don’t write “No” I’d you don’t disagree. “No” is an unambiguous sign of disagreement

      They already removed it from Shorts. Give it a little time and it will be gone from the rest of the videos.
