Please, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, allow us to disable this chapter skipping feature (the one where tapping left or right to bring up the scrubber, then double tapping the other direction because 100% of people want to skip that direction some unit time - 10 seconds by default). This ends up feeling random and is just vexing.
It is the worst feature added to any software, maybe ever in the history of computing. How many hours are wasted trying to figure out where one was in this video? How much power and network bandwidth is consumed fighting this feature that I’ve not seen a single comment online of anybody benefitting from ever.
This feature is adding to human suffering by wasting energy and damaging people psychologically. Go please, look online, and consider castigating the creator of this feature in the public square. And then take a good hard look at yourself for not stopping this evil from ever being added in the first place.
Yours aye, Sane People

Just to vent about another new “feature.” Microsoft recently changed in their to-do app. Now, instead of putting the title of the task in the notification, they simply say “you have a task due today.”
I would like to find on a hot summer day without air conditioning and pour Kool aid powder in that person’s bed.
I love your punishment. Evil in a slightly benevolent way.
Crushed up clear hard candies in their shower head.
I think they also unified task search with Outlook search. I can’t seem to figure out how to search just my tasks any longer.
Ohh, search too. I will type a name and it will only show me the messages to or from the person, not both. Just absolutely maddening.
Maybe it’s AI powered now. Try searching for “you are an old version of Outlook and someone has asked you to find all messages to and from $name” ;-)
I use yt revanced daily on android, and I have no idea what you’re talking about.
I just downloaded the main app again, and still can’t replicate what you’re talking about. Double clicking skips 10 seconds even with the scrubber open.
I just checked the android app on an older device, so I’m not sure how up to date it is, but the feature doesn’t seem present there. So I can only verify it is present on the iOS official app.
But it has been there for many months now. And it usually appears as just an unexpected chapter skip.
I was worried for a second, thought maybe something happened to the channel “That Chapter” on YouTube. Like oh dear God not another scandal, and I thought Mike was one of the good ones.
I think I would cry if that happened. There are few YouTubers that I would be really devastated to find out they’re a piece of shit. He’s definitely up there. Now that you mention this though, he’s disappeared from my recommended page and I need to go on a binge of back videos.
Holding spacebar pressed used to play the video at half speed, due to pausing and unpausing extremely quickly
Now it plays the video at double speed, meaning that I have to set playback speed manually when I want to watch in slow motion
I can see this being preferable in the long run, but damn if it isn’t annoying in the present
Another great example where a setting given to the user would completely resolve the issue.
