Another thing I don't like is having to turn off annotations on Youtube videos all the time. Just let me watch the video for fuck's sake. I know they need to advertise somehow (usually it's a link to another website or their channel or some dumb shit) but if your content is good enough it'll stand out on its own, and I will seek those things out myself. It sure as hell isn't working to intrude on my experience and interrupt it, so I cannot fathom it properly.
I wish Youtube's business model allowed for me to disable them from all videos. It certainly wouldn't be difficult to do functionally, and I believe you used to be able to do it, but if I were running Youtube I would probably make the same decision. For the content uploaders. They'd probably be pissed. Though then again, I'd be a motherfucking juggernaut, and I could really just flip them the bird and say "well go upload your shit on DAILYMOTION then, you fucking loser" and they would sigh and know they have been bested.
