I wish whoever designed this UI on youtube embeds a very "please dont ever work on UX ever again"

@dogo what's the deal with youtube ux designers and fixing things that aren't broken

are they running out of things to do and don't want to switch to a different team?

@noiob this one isn't even anything new but it just drives me nuts how it takes over the entire viewport when I've paused to read something

truly feels like their UX team is like do it first, ask questions later

@noiob @dogo

Someone who works at Google tells me that the YouTube people are TOTALLY separate, and completely uninterested in responding to any input from anyone else in the broader organization. They constantly do things like change the way the site works (for no reason that anyone else can see) in ways that break the browser, and then demand that the Chrome team change the browser to deal with it.
