I created the extension to solve the problem with YouTube like/dislike rating system (especially since the dislike number was removed from YouTube). My solution is a convenient star rating system in the form of a browser extension that allows you to rate YouTube videos from 1 to 5 stars and see their ratings.
Hey Hunters! 👋
Let me introduce the project that aims to bring the star rating system back to YouTube and will always show you the number of users' ratings. It works as a simple and free browser extension that adds stars underneath YouTube videos.
Let's quickly discuss the difference between the rating systems. It's subtle, yet very important.
Star rating - the user will associate it with quality. If the user sees a video rated with 5 stars, they will think that it is of very good quality.
Like/dislike rating - the user will associate it with preference. If the user sees a video that received some "likes", they will think that some people prefer it, without necessarily associating it with quality.
We would be so glad if you guys were to try it out and send some feedback our way. The more users use the extension the more useful it will be to discern quality content.
