I have searched the documentation for information that matches the description of the feature request I want to file, without success.
This issue contains only one feature request.
Problem Description
The publish date, # of views, and # of likes are taking up disproportionate visual real estate. This results in the Subscribe button occupying a different height and flex behavior from the other video buttons. The width of the title also competes with the size of the icon buttons, an unneeded dependency.
Proposed Solution
Similar to the implementation pictured below:
Move publish date and # of views to the top of the video description section.
Also move # of likes to the top of the video description section. This is different from the pictured implementation, but it's an incredibly justified distinction, as this is not an interactive button for our users but rather more static video information.
Move the Subscribe button to the same height / flex box as the other video buttons, while still maintaining the same space between that exists now.
Alternatives Considered
We can optionally keep the like button on the same row as the video buttons, but I do not think it is preferable for the reasons I stated.
More radical changes to our video info section UX are possible here (e.g., in the vein of Invidious or Piped), but I see little purpose to this. Two reasonable lessons we can take from them are de-emphasizing the like button & removing the video information from strong visual competition with the title and actions, as I've suggested here. But I don't think we have any comparably problematic layout issues in the video info section outside of that.
Here's Invidious's take on it for reference:
We can also consider moving the video views & likes information to right between the title and the Subscribe button (similar to Piped).
Issue Labels
improvement to existing feature, visual improvement
Additional Information
This makes #4259 much, much easier. It also makes resolving a bug pertaining to the video info buttons clipping easier to implement.
