Remove "includes paid promotion" links from thumbnails. #2423
Comments
Are you saying "includes paid promotion" is a link to YT information page? I cant find an example right now, can you link one? |
Here is the link it sends me to. Given your response, it sounds like I might be part of an A/B test or it's regional. |
I searched for Sabine AI passed the Turing Test -- And No One Noticed video and I get live preview thumbnail for it without that paid promotion banner :| thats logged in Chrome. But I do same thing in FF logged out and I do see it:
What we are interested in adding CSS we Do have hide_thumbnail_overlay "Hide buttons on thumbnails" that in theory sounds like it should cover this case, but it doesnt work because ... drum roll ..
and it doesnt cover video-preview
Found another annoyance: looks like popup_window_buttons "Add a popup-player-button to each thumbnail" popupWindowButtons is only half implemented, can turn it on, but turning it off doesnt remove the button until page reload :( |
I suppose I should add that I'm using the FF fork LibreWolf. I am logged into YouTube, but I do block tracking. |
Oh, and I have YT Premium. |
#2432 makes HIDE BUTTONS ON THUMBNAILS also affect those "includes paid promotion" banners. Additionally turning on Blocklist will move them to the right of video-preview. |
⚬ PROBLEM:
I frequently accidentally click on the utterly worthless "includes paid promotion" links on thumbnails when trying to play a video or open it in a new tab. It is a dumb and pointless feature as it's expected that videos will include paid promotion.⚬ SOLUTION:
Removed YouTube's pointless addition of the link.⚬ ALTERNATIVES:
None⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE:
Estimate how many percent of our users (or all youtube users) should/would use your idea? All? I can't be alone on this.⚬ "SIDE EFFECTS":
Who might NOT want this? Whomever created the feature?⚬ CONTEXT:
//
Thank you!
