Investigate youtube dislike counter button

[ryanbr]

Description

Some users are wanting to have a dislike button back in Youtube. Investigate whether it could/should be implemented.

They are using a https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike/tree/main/Extensions/UserScript (GPL 3 License)

Actual result:

Currently Youtube shows no dislike counter button.

Expected result:

Enabling the User script, adds Youtube button back

Miscellaneous Information:

Privacy wise it is communicating back with https://returnyoutubedislikeapi.com/votes?videoId=... Whether we share/use data with returnyoutubedislikeapi.com or just Brave users. Or proxy these requests?

• If Brave only we limit stats on how many actually disliked a video
• If we use returnyoutubedislikeapi.com, we share data with them, and gain stats also.

Possible implementation:

1. We make it default
2. Put it behind a option menu
3. A permission/notification window when a user visits youtube?

I currently use an extension for this feature to show dislike count, would love to have it built in to brave shields filter, similar to other filters we currently have like bypass paywalls clean.
