YouTube is generally speaking a UX mess and the same goes for all Google products.
On YT, if I am listening to a DJ mix, for example, I don't need to be watching the video (or looking at a still image) for 1 & 1/2 hours, so I will make the window very small. The resizing on desktop now hides the comments and I have to size the window big again to see them. The same video on mobile has the comments under the video and the 'up next' and 'related videos' list under the comments. It's a complete and utter mish-mash of layouts.
Contrast with the "live now" streams; the comments/live chat window is _only_ visible when the window is resized for mobile. Live chat is hidden in full desktop view.
YT is a disaster, and perhaps they should focus on getting some degree of consistency and usability before adding new features and complexity.
