YT Engagement Verdict
yt-engagement-verdict
Analyzes YouTube video engagement (views, likes, dislikes, comments) and renders a statistically-grounded authenticity verdict below the view count.
Tired of not knowing if a video is genuinely popular or just gamed? YT Engagement Verdict scores every YouTube video you watch and renders a verdict right below the view count.
The four verdicts:
Scoring uses log-normalized engagement decay tiers based on published academic research. A flat percentage threshold doesn't work because engagement naturally drops as view counts grow — this extension accounts for that.
Selectors auto-update from GitHub (same pattern as uBlock Origin's filter lists), so when YouTube changes its DOM the extension stays working without a reinstall.
No accounts required. No data collected by default. Optional anonymous engagement data sharing available to help improve scoring accuracy — you choose in the extension popup.
