    Stop putting your commercials in the middle of song. People spend years writing one verse then BAMM YouTube Nike commercial right in the middle of eargasm People latch on to that and remember how traumatic and ear-a-tating YouTube is and would rather not listen at all, do you think ill remember that when im buying shoes maybe? And maybe my favorite artist won't notice anything either. If I were you I'd play it safe an put commercials back where we WONT remember them like the beginning or end of song. I don't think you want to loose both investors and viewers alike

      So is it like SoundCloud or NicoNico? The former is preferred.

      Also Youtube please remove the stupid new feature and just let me select the resolution as I used to.

        xool, 01 May 2021China already has this - it's called 'Danmu'... moreYup, DanMu is also what came through my mind after reading the description of this article.

        If they can do it less messy and more professional, then it will be good. Else it's just gonna be like DanMu.

          I have been a YouTube prime member for several years and every once in a while I get the advertising that is not supposed to be there. Could someone tell me what to do to get rid of this advertising that shows up uninvited. It is a little bit of a pain in the butt. Premium is always to be advertising free.

            [deleted post]is it so hard for you to answer it instead of just judging

                  I’m so excited I’ve been waiting for a update!!!

                    beep bop boop, 01 May 2021Could you explain what YouTube Vanced is?Basically the same YouTube app as the official one but with YouTube Premium features alongside some other third-party feature. So that ability to play video in the background and have zero ads in YouTube Premium is also in YouTube Vanced. YouTube Vanced also has the SponsorBlock option that allows you to skip any part of the video involving sponsorship or subscribe reminder or even merchandise advertising.

                    Just about the only thing YouTube Vanced missed out on is the thumbnail clickbait remover option. I really cannot see those super cringy thumbnails from the likes of LTT and Mrwhosetheboss, especially the latter's video about Linux smartphones. I really just wanna puke myself looking at it.

                        This feature was invented by Niconico, a Japanese video website, in 2007. Bilibili, the Chinese counterpart, is a direct clone of Niconico. Timestamped comment is the most unique feature of Niconico, and the sole reason many people not moving away from Niconico despite its crappy video quality and slow loading speed.

                                      I'd rather just manually put the timestamp on the comment tqvm.

                                        YouTube would be better concentrating on stopping the porn spambots from infesting their comments like fleas.

                                        Youtube is unwatchable without an adblocker; I'm surprised the company has lasted this long the way it abuses it's audience.
