YouTube Attention Score

Earlier YouTube used to show the number of dislikes, which was helpful in calculating how likeable a video is, by simply calculating number of likes over dislikes. Since YouTube now no longer shows a dislikes count, it's difficult to calculate the quality of a video based on likes and dislikes. This extension does not use dislikes count. On the contrary it calculates the number of likes over number of views. To put it in layman terms, it means how many views of the video got successfully converted into likes. But there is a catch. Since the number of views is not unique-user's views but an overall views count, including the repetitive ones. Unlike number of likes which is overall count of likes by unique users. A bingeworthy video can be viewed multiple times by one user while only being liked once. For example a music video. In such case a lower ratio of likes over views indicates that the video is really appreciated by everyone so much so that people come back many times to watch it again and again. On the other hand, one-time watch kind of videos like vlogs, news items, informative content, etc is indicated correctly by the attention score. Higher the score, more appreciated the video is.
