My biggest peeve is how on the app, scrolling past a thumbnail removes it and starts playing a preview. So the title or whatever disappears, and instead I get to watch some person talk on mute. Then when I actually click the video, it starts from where I was in the preview, instead from the beginning, so I have to rewind since I obviously didn't catch anything from the small muted preview.
- gs17 4y agoFor me it shows captions in the preview, so I actually get what they're saying. I don't have captions on for videos, so no idea why it's different between us.
- matsemann 4y agoI do get captions, but they seldom make sense. I guess no one at YouTube have tried watching non-English videos when making this preview feature..? To be fair, the captions are quite bad for the British panel shows I get recommended as well.
- gs17 4y agoThat's fair, I forgot how awful the captions can be. Still not sure how we got to a situation where, when watching a video on my Google phone, the phone can make vastly better, and near real-time, captions than YouTube can.
