Pretty sure this is intentional to encourage doom scroll and to make the giant video titles and shocked-face-tiles easier to see and thus click on. Whatever gets you to click faster and make those ad dollars. I'm more than a little disgusted by how moronic we are made to look now that every video tile caters to the dumbest person with the most base instincts. If YOU aren't SHOCKED by this TITLE how will we get you to CLICK IT? :O :O :O MUST SEE this video BEFORE YOU CONTINUE READING HN [VIDEO]

It's almost funny, not to mention sad, that their player/page has been changed, filling it with tons of JS that makes less powerful machines lag. For a while now, I've been forced to change "watch?v=" to "/embed/" to watch something in 480p on an i3 Gen 4, where the same video, when downloaded, uses ~3% of the CPU. However, unfortunately, it doesn't always work anymore. [VIDEO] [VIDEO] While they worsen the user experience, other sites optimize their players and don't seem to care about downloaders (pr0n sites, for example).
