I created this in my own free time.
Ever since YouTube decided to hide the dislike count from the public view back when it was announced on November 11, 2021 (it was still accessible via the backend from googleapis.com) and eventually hidden on December 13, 2021, there was no way to view the public dislike counts ever again unless you're one of the developers to apply in the API Exemption program by Google.
Luckily, there is a person named Dmitrii Selivanov who goes by the alias "Anarios" from GitHub. This person created the whole infrastracture in storing the dislike counts from all videos ever uploaded on YouTube whether it was made public or not, and is also behind the now most popular browser extension called "Return YouTube Dislike" which displays the dislike count for you whenever you watch a YouTube video.
But there's a catch, the dislike counts are never going to be 100% accurate unless more and more users install the extension and use it. (again, unless you're a whitelisted google apis developer)
Average users probably don't know how to install browser extensions from a web store (Google Chrome web store for example) and also mobile apps outside of an app store, so I created this frontend to view the unofficial dislike counts from videos that are published before and after the dislike removal announcement.
I think this should help people who are watching YouTube on their handheld devices and can't be bothered to install such 3rd party apps like ReVanced, this kind of app typically requires enabling Unknown Sources in android settings to install it which an average user will not understand what it does at first glance.
