    I recommend installing a YouTube downvote extension for your browser if you haven’t already. Sadly, mobile has no such option.

      I nearly installed one… I’m a bit para though when it comes to addons, feels like we just install them willy-nilly with little regard or knowledge to what they’re doing under the hood. Many of them aren’t even regulated / moderated and require full browser access to perform their role.

      FYI, the extension can be somewhat inaccurate on anything that wasn’t archived before the YouTube api change. So like mid-2021 onwards. It has to “estimate” downvote counts, and it reports some videos as having way more than they should.

      Still nice to have, just don’t always trust it.
