> Base dislike stats are retrieved from YouTube API while it's available. When API closes - the extension will use data from extension users to derive actual dislike count on a video.

Another signal for estimation of the real dislike count could be ratio of view count to like count.

Or somebody could scrape view/like/dislike count for top N videos to make some statistical model?
