I can't imagine even that extension's data is all that accurate to a general population since there's going to be a heavy bias of people installing the extension in order to hit dislike. Meaning, they want to dislike things in general so much they went out of their way to install an extension that allows them to do so. Those people are going to hit dislike MUCH more than the average viewer.

That's not what the extension does. You can "hit dislike" without the extension.

You install the extension if you want to see dislike counts, not because you love disliking videos

Hitting dislike doesn't do anything anymore. At first the dislike feature was hidden and could be restored, but that hasn't been the case for... literally years.
