Unfortunately, there is a constant overlay I can’t dispell.
There are overlays that say, “click to see why us, the illumiati, hijacked this” and “CLICK TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OWNER OF THIS CHANNEL”.
Really? Is Youtube that overtaken? I just want to show the video to a friend, without all the distracting overlays.
Just knowing how to stop that crap for ME would be great, but my religious friend even more.
I want that crap gone, and to be able to link a vid without 1,000 idiot comments blocking the original video.
There’s a little button in the right bottom corner of the YouTube player that pops up a menu of two buttons. The top button removes annotations from the currently playing video.
Nobody is trying because statements like “There is no god and you’re an idiot if you believe there is one” are about as annoying as some clown accosting one on the street to ask “have you been saved?”, and about as interesting.
You know what I find irritating about YouTube? The moronic comments. And they aren’t any better posted on the SDMB, no matter what they call the forum this time.
I use a Greasemonkey script called ‘ft4u’ that hides all the comments and just leaves a button that says “click here to show comments” or something, or, in my case, is customized to read “click here to show ridiculous clusterfuck.” Now I wish I could find a script that takes you straight from the Fark RSS entry title to the news items, and skip over the fark page itself.
