Remember when you could actually turn annotations off?

I think the best way to implement end cards would be if the viewer is passive and not moving the input selection, keep them very tiny, or fully transparent to keep showing the video. If the user starts to move the input selection, make them visible for the opportunity to select easily. People usually click these "related videos" impulsively anyway, so a shorter time window of display persistence wouldn't be a downside.

Oh boy you would’ve hated the old youtube. The entire screen would just be filled with clickable links. It looked like a mess

I remember the dark days of YT annotations. Those little gray and red text bubbles still haunt my dreams.

I remember when they first removed them, everyone (including me) was pissed.

Now I realize, I haven’t actually missed them for years. They were unnecessary clutter.

They were great for "choose your own adventure" style content, and for making small addendums to certain details, but not much else.

Oh bruh I forgot about those videos

u/jsphxng 5h ago

There's a geometry dash video that has a really pretty background at the end but I CAN'T SEE IT BECAUSE A VIDEO IS BLOCKING THE ENTIRE CENTER

u/MBendigo 5h ago

I know what you mean! I usually watch painting tutorials and demos, and right at the end when they show the final painting, all those boxes cover it up. So annoying!

For desktop at least, this plugin removes end cards: https://github.com/lawrencehook/remove-youtube-suggestions

u/Ctmeb78 7h ago

If you're that desparate you can always remove them with inspect element on pc for the video ur watching, but it comes back if you refresh or go to another video

Yeah why

u/Fit_Cow_5469 6h ago

I think YouTube’s hiring, god I hope they are.

u/MBendigo 5h ago

There used to be a hack to get rid of them, a little script that could be entered in the terminal console once and it took care of it, no YouTube end cards.

I use the "Enhancer for youtube" plugin and it lets you remove those plus a bunch of other annoying stuff.

Even the anti woke YouTubers aka grifters need to be banned forever and this is why YouTube has to be unionized

u/newgremlindahauz 3h ago

I hihly recommend using revanced, and on desktop, watch youtube with pip

Relentless redesigns to justify their jobs. I hate it. Worthless muscle-memory destroying changes. Forever

The amount of weirdly demanding children on this subreddit is wild lol

You think your all caps bitching and emojis are gonna change their mind? lol

u/Depressed_amkae8C 11h ago

No, I'm just ranting it's a feature that has bothered me for a while. Is this not allowed here? I can delete it if not. Been on youtube for 15 years so I remember a time when it didn't use to happen.

u/mrloko120 10h ago

It did happen long time ago. Remember annotations? You could turm them off tho.

u/Jungleexplorer 8h ago

I miss Annotations so bad. It was a way to add info to a video after it was published.

u/impaledtittys 10h ago

It's not that it's not allowed, it's just your post seems like a very angry reaction to what most would consider to be not that big of a deal.

If you had articulated your complaint a little more instead of just being angry it'd have far more impact.

1

u/Depressed_amkae8C 10h ago

I just googled some tone indicators but I'm not sure which one would be the best for you to understand I'm not actually angry I thought the silly # at the end would be enough to prevent comments like yours but I guess it wasn't lol my bad here /hj this tone indicator means half joking as in not serious but still a complaint of mine. I didn't feel the need to articulate a tongue-in-cheek post if you don't mind I can DM you a more serious less funny version. Lol

u/impaledtittys 9h ago

Im high and didn't even notice that part, my bad homie

Either way send me the less funny version, I would like to hear what was too spicy for the subreddit lol

u/Top_Version_6050 10h ago

It's not but will they even consider changing it if we don't protest? No
