YouTube Likes / Views rating is a free Chrome extension developed by LM. This handy tool calculates the views/likes ratio of YouTube videos and displays it in a user-friendly way. It aims to provide users with an indication of how well-liked a video is by its audience.

It's important to note that this extension does not serve as a replacement for the dislikes feature that YouTube removed. Instead, it offers insight into whether the audience enjoyed the video based on the likes-to-views ratio. The extension does not store or send any data to third parties, ensuring user privacy and security.

It's worth mentioning that the ratings provided by this extension reflect how much people like the video and its creator, rather than the quality of the content itself. Views/likes ratios can vary significantly depending on the type of content and the engagement of the creator. Therefore, some creators may receive lower ratings even if their videos are of top quality.

However, it's important to keep in mind that as the view count increases, the views/likes ratio tends to decrease. Videos with hundreds of millions of views are likely to display lower ratings, even if they performed well in the previous like/dislike metric that YouTube removed. Additionally, this extension does not work in live streams.

Overall, YouTube Likes / Views rating provides users with a useful tool to gauge the popularity and audience reception of YouTube videos. It has the potential to be improved and customized in future updates, depending on its traction and user feedback.
