why the does the screen size spaz out every time you click on a youtube link sometimes the top left portion of a video plays in a small window in the bottom right of a black screen sometimes instead of a black screen, it's my subscriptions or some other poo poo i don't care about i don't remember when it has last worked right and just played the video on some normal size screen also if the video i click has an unskippable ad, i just go back to browsing the web

the iPad YouTube app is really flaming garbage. I'm not just talking about bugs, whoever thought that navigation made any sense is a loving idiot. didn't google used to make decent apps? it seems like they keep loving with them until they become unusable.

The original youtube app for iOS was bearable because it was simple and did allow you to play music or whatever while doing something else

if you have the screen off you can't see overlay ads. of google's app team is full of the types of nerds that get really angry and dig in when you dare mention you want to do something their softwar doesn't do. I'm 50/50 on what the actual explanation is. does the ipad app show the overlay ads in the first place?

I wonder when they are going to take that facial recognition stuff a step further and make it so that you have to actually be looking at and watching the ad before you get to see your content.

like samsung's "smart pause" bullshit on the S4 and S5? i could see google implementing it as a feature in youtube and then completely ignoring the product forums thread about it pausing ads when you aren't looking. pretty well fits their MO. edit: actually they would make it an option beta feature first, default option next, then force it on.

also for some reason the ipad app is unable to keep streaming in hd. it will work fine for a couple of minutes, then stall, then start playing the sega mega cd quality video, then work its way up to hd again and repeat

H.P. Hovercraft posted:countdown till this practice vanishes entirely well considering that something godawful like 5-15% of people don't watch the ad to completion now and you can't even be sure that those people are actually watching because tabbed browsing is a thing... that would save google a fuckton of bandwidth costs and maybe even solve their peering disputes! e: as an aside remember how much the TV industry flipped out about ad auto-skip in DVRs? they killed off replaytv over it. seems pretty quaint now.
