Annoyance: Who is watching.

Open Kneit0r opened this issue 10 months ago • 3 comments

I watch without an account, and it seems youtube is trying their best to make life misserable for all that do not want to log in.

As of late they have an unskippable 'Who is watching' start screen (overlay) prompt, exiting the client seems to get rid of it for a short time.

Would be nice if this horrible anti-feature could get removed if possible.

Thank you.

Edit: mislabled as bug for some reason.

If a video is playing and I switch with exit key to my pc on hdmi and then go back to youtube often the app starts with that log in screen and I have to search and start my video again. Worked flawlessly before.

Now there is also a login reminder when starting a video after opening the app.

it seems for now youtube caesed the startup login nag overlay, the player pausing nag at the beginning of the media seem to still sporadically show.

edit: typo
