I don't think they know why those specific visitor cookies still work and I'm not sure how they're generating them either.

As for "API", it's not the official youtube API but InnerTube API. You can see requests being sent to it sometimes when loading videos. It's also what youtube-dl is using right now. There's no way they'd be able to pull off what they want to do with official youtube API with that quota. InnerTube supposedly has no quota but you're not supposed to hammer it too fast or something like that.

>>8066 is right. I don't think a lot of people using the extension knows that at the moment.

This sounds interesting though:
>The backend will switch to using a combination of archived dislike stats, estimates extrapolated from extension user data, and estimates based on view/like ratios for videos whose dislikes weren't archived as well as outdated dislike count archives.
I'd like to see how they extrapolate this info.
