Updating the YouTube video interface or another Google optimization
Hot on the heels, I would like to express my indignation about another innovation in the Google service interface. Previously, the search giant already “pleased” us with “optimization” of the direct search functions — the quick settings disappeared as a class last November (judging by the recording of Comrade Lici ). For example, I almost daily have to use the display of the display of results only in Russian. Also, almost every day I resort to filtering image results by size. Yes, yes, since last year all this is done through ... through the annoying intermediary "Search Tools". Now the “talented” pens of Google’s “optimizers” have reached YouTube.
From now on - no quality video posting in two clicks. First, click the settings button, then "Quality" and only then select the desired parameter. Yes, only one superfluous action, but when it needs to be done at almost every video viewing, it seriously violates the universal harmony and balance of the inner Yin and Yang. Frankly infuriating innovation against the background of the already obvious "shoals" of the service. For example, I put the video on loading, I saw the loaded volume. Clicked within the loaded line - get a download from scratch, from a new point.

Or exhibiting all the same video quality. To make the default so that the user automatically plays videos in HD / Full HD is impossible - only the original 360p (if 240 / 144p - not the "ceiling"). The progress is possible only for full-screen video, for this you need to a) create an account b) delve into the profile settings.
For me, this is a painful problem in the light of the fact that many users do not realize at all about the possibility of changing the quality of videos on YouTube. Seriously. I regularly publish registrar reviews on various resources and, of course, I attach examples of filming. When the user writes something like “nifiga is not visible, everything is blurry” under a clearly good video, I used to say “change the quality of the video” as a joke. After a certain incident, it became clear that people are not joking, but they really think that by default they see the “original”, best video quality. First of all, it concerns “non-IT” resources for a wide audience.
But Google does not seem to be straining at all. In the specific case of the events of recent days, it will remain a mystery - why it was necessary to complicate everything, if the buttons fit perfectly on the horizontal panel. The publication could be placed in q & a, but the question of the possibility of returning the original interface seems too rhetorical.
