• First, visit the YouTube video of your choice (you can use a desktop browser, mobile browser, or the YouTube app for this).

• From here, copy the video URL either via the address bar or by clicking the Share icon.

• Next, visit our free YouTube Dislike Checker and paste in the URL of your video.

• Hit 'Search'.

• You will then see the number of dislikes that this video has received.

Why Did YouTube Remove Dislikes?

After the announcement of the removal of dislike data in 2021, many users were upset at the changes. While YouTube claimed that the decision was due to years of misuse and dislike attacks against creators, others suspected that it was due to the failure of YouTube's 2018 Rewind video, which to this day stands as the most-disliked YouTube video of all time.

Many users still consider dislikes important, especially when it comes to combating misinformation, but despite a call to restore dislikes, YouTube shows no sign of restoring dislike numbers any time soon.
