This application was created to give some kind of awareness if a YouTube video is widely liked or not.
It doesn't serve as a replacement for the dislikes YouTube removed, but it gives a pretty good indication as to whether the audience enjoyed the video.

Ratings are as follow:
- Very below average
- Below average
- Slightly below average
- Average
- Slightly above average
- Above average
- Very above average

A few caveats:
- This extension reflects how much people like the video and it's creator
- It does not reflect the quality of the content in a video.
- Views / Likes ratios vary widely based on the type of content you're watching and how engaging the creator of that content is. Therefore some creators might average lower ratings even if their videos are top quality.
- As views count goes up, views/likes ratios trend downwards. Once a video reaches hundreds of millions of views it's very likely that the video will display lower ratings even if the video performs well in the previous like/dislike metric that YouTube removed.
- It does not work in live streams
-------------------------------------
If this small extension gets any traction I will update it to add improve the metrics and allow customization.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
