What happened?

The like bar shows 182 likes whereas the current likes sit around 11K. This could be either a YouTube issue or a Return YT Dislike issue.

How to reproduce/recreate?

Visit a video or livestream. Allow time for likes to accumulate. Likes update, dislikes? Like/Dislike bar does not update.

This extension pulls dislike data at the time you load a web page. That means counters for live streams are not updated automatically.

For now, refresh the page to see latest numbers.

If detecting live streams is possible, we can add a feature to periodically refresh dislikes for live streams only. But that puts more stress on the server. Not sure if it's worth it.
