What happened?

Whenever I'm logged into an account this happens, apparently the information that was supposed to go to the dislike button ends up in the sharing tab.

How to reproduce/recreate?

Login.

Will you be available for follow-up questions to help developers diagnose & fix the issue?

Yes

I can confirm that issue also occurs on Firefox 120.0b9. Furthermore, the number on it increases when you click share button. I really thought that YouTube added share counting...

It doesn't explain that the reason is to be logged into the account, the button changes when you log in, hence the error, so theoretically it is not a duplicate.

this happens because the account has the flag experiment that enables it, YouTube has a test system where they roll out new experiments on random user accounts, if you get unlucky they roll it out to a few accounts first before rolling it out to everyone, and you can be one of those.

therefor it is a duplicate.

I myself made a correction to the code using xpath to ensure that even if a button changes location or has a similar button it always goes to the dislike button, I will send an implementation note to the developer.

yeah, i'm sure this issue was caused because YouTube changed their buttons to "view-models" on their experiment, since the dislike counter isn't supposed to work with them, they just appear next to the share counter because it's the only button that doesn't use the whole "view-model" thing.

I made this very rough correction, but it works both logged in and out.

function getDislikeButton() {
  return document.querySelector("#segmented-dislike-button, #dislike-button, dislike-button-view-model");
}

function getLikeButton() {
  return document.querySelector("#segmented-like-button, #like-button, like-button-view-model");
}

  return document.querySelector("#segmented-dislike-button, dislike-button-view-model");
}

function getLikeButton() {
  return document.querySelector("#segmented-like-button, like-button-view-model");
}

amazing, thanks for the temp fix!

how to use this?

hey, i wasn't able to get this working on a userscript sheet am i doing something wrong?

[GladistonXD]

how to use this?

Edit the ryd.content-script.js file by replacing the getDislikeButton() and getLikeButton() functions and update the extension through the manager or restart the browser.

What is userscript sheet?
You can test whether the button was found by playing document.querySelector("#segmented-dislike-button, #dislike-button, dislike-button-view-model"); in the browser console.
