(Feature Request): Add label to inform user the origin of dislikes i.e. from creator/db/api etc.

[sy-b]

Extension or Userscript?

Both

Request or suggest a new feature!

Add a label or any way, which will inform the user, the origin of dislikes.
The aim to differentiate the levels of trust, so that the viewer can make more informed decisions. Basically creator reported dislikes are more believable.
Creators doing this might also earn trust of viewers.

(I guess you can also add a trust rating from (like 1-5) depending on oldness of the data)

Ways to implement this!

Maybe add a label below the dislikes saying "Creator Reported" or "Stored Database", etc.
And if possible, show this in dislikes with search results also.

I think it should be combined with #130

This is a good idea, except we don't fully have access to the API's backend code yet. This is a problem because we need the API to tell us where the dislike info came from, and the client would only display it.

Some keywords to make search easier:

It seems is going to three different sources of data and it makes sense to have some sort of way to tell users how the data for the video they are watching.

My suggestion would be a coloured badge or like/dislike numbers e.g.

• Green for youtube studio data (most accurate)
  
• Orange for historical data
  
• Red for user data (least accurate)
