Currently we're using youtube API to get dislikes count
...so they just hid it from the user, and the actual number is still there if you know where to look? That's surprising.

But if you have a system that doesn't display the dislike count publicly you can apply for a exemption.
Not sure what they'll do on Dec. 13th[1] when the YouTube API no longer allows developers to access this information.

Probably they will either begin at some point to return the value “0” for dislike count for others than the uploader at some point or if not they will probably freeze the value at its current. Maybe it’s already frozen. Did anyone try to see if the number is changing as seen publicly by one account when new dislikes are added by other accounts?
"Developers: If you’re using the YouTube API for dislikes, you will no longer have access to public dislike data beginning on December 13th. Your end users will still be able to view dislike data related to their own content on authenticated API requests. You can apply for an exemption (to have dislike data on non-authenticated calls) as long as you don’t display or share dislike data with your end users."
of course you can still see your OWN dislike but not the overall ratio, but the uploader can see that. what's your point exactly
