Cellivar Kangaroorat @cellivar.dev 路 Jul 2 Absolutely floored that YouTube decided to replace the "watch videos on my TV" button with a "message people about what I'm watching" button. A UX that has been locked in for over a decade. The fact that suggesting a messaging feature doesn't carry the death penalty at Google is mind boggling.

No one anywhere knows how to UX especially at megacorps
As if I'd want people to know what I'm watching. For some, incognito mode is for smut. For me it's for videos I'm morbidly curious about but don't want to have influencing my algorithm.
And here I thought it was bad enough that they turned "Watch videos on TV" into "Sometimes be a remote for the TV but without an obvious way to send videos to the TV" which is what I get.
I legit thought they took away the ability to stream to my TV. Then I figured you had to go onto the video you wanted to watch AND THEN you got the option to stream to TV. So fucking dumb
