Bug Report

Description

The "Likes > Hidden" option does not hide the like count on video pages. The "Icon only" option works fine, but fully hiding likes does not work.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Enable "Likes > Hidden" in extension settings
  2. Go to any YouTube video
  3. Observe that the like count is still visible
Expected behavior

"Likes > Hidden" should fully hide the like count display (not just switch to icon-only mode).

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation of the “Likes” setting and the video-page like count display. Reproduce the issue with “Likes > Hidden” enabled, compare it with the working “Icon only” behavior, and confirm that the like count is fully absent while the icon-only option remains unchanged.
