I have been checking the WH videos your site on a daily basis after someone posted a link here π. Any ideas on ways to track after they remove the dislikes altogether?
I'm not sure, but I'm thinking about that question too.
If YouTube decides to stop showing the dislike count on youtube.com and in the YouTube app, the data might still be accessible using the YouTube API, which is how I get the data.
So if they just hide the count on the page, 81m.org will still work fine.
If they disable my access to the API, or if they disable the ability to use the YouTube API to get statistics on any of the Biden regime's videos, then we are out of luck. :(
At that point they might inflate the likes, you can always scrape the values of the html.
There will always be something they make visible to the public whether it be only likes, or emojis, or ratios, and those can always be gotten, API or not.
