'YouTube Auto-Like script not working until I refresh

I am not the author of the code and have no prior experience with code, the credits go to the original author, JoeSimmons. So the problem I am having is the code works fine, but it only works when I either refresh the YouTube video page or I go to the link directly, like from a Google search. I'd like to know if anyone would be able to help me out in fixing the issue. Of course, i'm not experienced at all with even the simplest of scripts. Thankyou in advance! I apologise if the tagging on the question is wrong, as I said earlier i'm clueless.

/* CHANGELOG

    1.1.02 (6/7/2015)
        - fixed script

    1.1.01 (3/14/2015)
        - fixed bug of it liking all videos when username list was empty

    1.1.0 (3/13/2015)
        - added a new option to allow auto-liking of videos from subscribed channels

    1.0.40 (3/12/2015)
        - adapted to YouTube changing like/dislike buttons' classes

        - added a user-script command for the options

    1.0.35 (12/14/2013)
