The plugin you are mentioning is based on dislikes and yes it is very inaccurate. The one I mentioned works off of the ratio between the likes vs the view count so the accuracy is always there, it's a different way of going about it.

I agree that YouTube just needs to bring the dislike count back, it's a pain trying to find these alternative ways to know if a video is good when the data is there. It's so greedy of them, outright harming user experience for profit.
