[Feature request] Option to disable animation for likes under videos

Open ccrowles opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

PROBLEM:

The likes animation under videos is distracting (and probably also ram-consuming). By "likes animation" I mean the number of likes going up in real time with that slot machine effect.

SOLUTION:

It would be nice to have an option to disable that animation. (Bonus if it aligns the numbers like normal, instead of having one number at a different height like this.)

RELEVANCE / SCOPE:

I feel like a good number of people don't really care about knowing that a video they're watching just got an extra [x] amount of likes (especially at the cost of some performance), and that for some people (like me) can even be distracting/annoying.

"SIDE EFFECTS":

I don't think there would be any side effects. Since it would be an option, those that prefer the fancy slot-machine effect animation can simply not disable it.

hi, same for(?)...those automatic rainbow outlines around the "like & subscribe"-buttons, whenever these words appear in videos?

Yes, it would be lovely if there was an option to disable those too!

Hey, May be this issue should be closed right? @ImprovedTube
