Thumbnail Rating Bar for YouTube™ by Elliot Waite
Review by Firefox user 15329613
Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 15329613, 6 years agoHi, I've been thinking for a long time now that it would be really nice of there was an option to also show like-to-view ratio (as percentage), or even dislike-to-view ratio. It's surprisingly important and in many cases better metric to measure video success. You could display it in the same info box with the the like ratio when you hover mouse over the like-dislike bar.

posted 6 years agoThanks for reporting this. I just released an update to address the recent issues, but the extension now requires users to enter a personal YouTube Data API key. Instructions for setting up a free YouTube Data API key, and an explanation for why this is required, can be found here:

Especially useful when evaluating if a new channel is worth following just by looking at the videos list page. It also helps me identify what the community deems controversial - useful tool to for many topics.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Apollon, 6 months agoWill this be updated soon? It is not working at the moment so I can only give it 1 star, but I really love this extension and hope to get to use it soon again,

- Rated 5 out of 5by Gleebek, 2 years agoJust added this after the "Return Youtube Dislike" extension stopped working. I wish I had known about this extension a LOT sooner. Very customizable (I put mine to look like a health bar at the top of each video thumbnail and to show a numerical % at the bottom). This is going to save so much time just from not clicking on trash videos in the first place.
