When we watch our favorite influencers or creators on YouTube, we often react by liking or disliking the video. Historically, these counts have helped us quickly determine whether a video is high-quality or helpful. However, on November 10, 2021, YouTube decided to hide the dislike count from the public to prevent creators from dislike bombing and harassment, making it visible only to the creators themselves in YouTube Studio.
Now that viewers can no longer see this dislike metric, we have developed this tool to address the issue. With this tool, you can reveal the hidden dislike count of any YouTube video just by entering its URL.
How to Use
Follow these steps to see the dislike count:
Copy the URL:
Open the YouTube app or website and copy the URL of the video you want to check.
Visit Opecto:
Open your browser, go to opecto.com, and paste the video link into the input box.
Check:
Click the ‘CHECK’ button. The tool will return the dislike count of the YouTube video and display the total number of dislikes.
