YouTube Dislike Viewer is a free, privacy-first web tool that reveals the hidden dislike count, like-to-dislike ratio, views, and engagement context for any public YouTube video — no login, no extension, and no payment required.
Who We Are
We are a small, independent team of web developers, data enthusiasts, and everyday YouTube viewers who believe that public engagement data should stay public. After YouTube hid the dislike count in November 2021, we built YouTube Dislike Viewer so that creators, researchers, and viewers could still gauge how an audience really responded to a video.
Our team maintains the tool, verifies the accuracy of the data we surface, and writes the guides you find across this site. Every article and feature is reviewed by people who use the tool daily — you can read more about the people behind the project on our Authors & Team page.
Our Story
YouTube Dislike Viewer began with a simple frustration: after the public dislike button was hidden, there was no easy way to tell a trustworthy tutorial from a misleading one, or to see whether a video was well received before spending time on it. The signal viewers had relied on for over a decade disappeared overnight.
So we set out to build the cleanest, fastest dislike viewer on the web — one that takes any YouTube link, reads the 11-character video ID, and pulls dislike data from the public Return YouTube Dislike (RYD) archive in seconds. What started as a weekend project quickly grew into a tool used by creators, journalists, teachers, and curious viewers around the world.
