A tool that analyzes the comparative quantity of positive and negative feedback on YouTube videos by examining the number of ‘likes’ versus ‘dislikes’ is valuable. For example, if a video has 1000 likes and 100 dislikes, the ratio is 10:1, indicating a generally positive reception.
Understanding audience sentiment is crucial for content creators. Tracking this metric provides insights into the perceived quality and resonance of video content. Historically, this data was readily available; however, changes in YouTube’s API have limited direct access, increasing reliance on third-party analysis platforms.
