I’d say there’s at least a 90% chance that this was addressed in some background gag in Bojack Horseman lol

The story is ludicrous

The “too good to be true” sell and complete lack of detail / pricing on their website is sketchy imo. I’m immediately suspicious of any org that profits off of piracy in such an opaque way

Ya I’m surprised that people are advocating for Plex these days especially in a self hosting community, it’s overbloated and mostly exists to force their FAST service down your throat

I’ve never used one myself but I’ve heard talk of various ones either A) taking the public (real) like number and extrapolating the dislikes based on an old like/dislike ratio available for the video from before the dislike removal (doesn’t work on new videos) or B) the extension includes a feature where the user can like/dislike the video within the extension and then the dislike number is extrapolated using the public (real) like number and the extension’s private like/dislike ratio. In either case the number is not connected to the “real” dislike count that YouTube would have access to internally

Pretty sure those extensions all use some sort of estimate methodology, the dislikes aren’t available via any apis or anything

Curious what you use a local version of MediaWiki for?
