I wouldn't know, I have an extensive set of modification over youtube that, among other thing, completely remove them from existence.
Now if only I could do the same with the bad automatic translations…
It seems every new feature of youtube is something we have to fight against.
As with every industry, there's a point where there's enough growth for a win-win for the company and consumers, so consumers benefit with new features; once that dries up the company starts squeezing, so consumers endure new features and use the product despite the changes.
