2024-08-04 19:19:26 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

On 10th November 2021, YouTube began to hide public dislike counts. Only the user behind the YT channel can see the real number of dislikes in YouTube Studio. The counts shown in these screenshots are from browser extensions which are estimated and inconsistent. Source: https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/update-to-youtube/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1819881001494954490

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
