notice how it doesnt show where people mostly play/skip parts so people cant see where adverts are

>with no upgrade in functionality
proof?

keeps them busy so they wont start rival companies

Hot take. It needed a refresh as it hadn't been changed since forever. They didn't break any functionality either. New design is always always subjective and users will always whine. I personally wouldn't have approved a liquid glass rip off though.

Just try it out

>It needed a refresh
Use case?

the jobs need to continue so that the money keeps flowing so that society continues so (white) people continue to have (white) children so elites continue to have (white) children to kidnap and abuse. it's dark but it's pretty simple. if only you knew etc etc

youre slightly off. maybe not stricly "off", more that its a reductive way of framing the problem. but more or less- yeah
its all about power
no jobs = no revenue that can be taken away from disobedient slaves, no usecase for corruption

we have all the tech we need for post scarcity.
not gonna happen anytime soon because of the above

>>106973352
list all of the improvements to functionality other than buttons being bigger a bit you retard

Consoomer grade software like youtube is has to be refreshed looks wise from time to time for the sake of keeping the sheeps engaged via novelty

Plus the useless committees and boards and departments filled with nu males and women have to prove their purpose.

thats it

the end cards are above the seek bar and i can't rewind the video

>>106974045
It's also difficult to seek at the beginning of a video, even in full screen, because near the beginning the controls disappear before the mouse is actually off the UI elements. They fucked up the design and never tested it.

i occasionally rewatch limmy's perspective on this issue

>>106974335
But that's the uploader's fault. He can chose to put these there and he can extend the video with some black frames to put overlays there. Some even do it with a design especially for the overlays.

i have the same problem with the volume bar on twitter videos
>every video is muted by default
>if you click the mute button it does nothing
>if you click it again it BLASTS FULL VOLUME
>player doesn't respect my browser-wide preference of defaulting video volume to 20%
>ideally you want to drag volume button up from a muted state to avoid going deaf
>hovering the button brings up the volume gutter for a split second
>moving your mouse to it makes it disappear because they made the button ROUND
>didn't even bother placing an invisible box behind it to extend its hover hitzone
>always end up misclicking and putting it at the wrong volume, because the damn gutter doesn't want to stay visible
>by the time it's at an acceptable volume the entire video has played through, missed all context, have to rewind
i had to write a userscript to push the gutter down a bit to make this shit actually usable
and editing their CSS is a BITCH i could _only_ manage to push it down a bit, and make the bar not round, not even the button, without destroying the layout for the entire site before losing my entire patience with this shit

/* post radius */
.r-1867qdf {border-radius: 0px;}
/* volume gutter distance from button */
.r-h8hv3c {margin-bottom: 20px !important;}

why does youtube make videos darker? left is the uploaded video, right is a copy i downloaded over a year ago, sat on the exact same frame
is it just the player or are they seriously re-encoding people's shit to look worse?
