I’m talking about the one that swaps recommended videos and the description/comments. Who doesn’t want to glance at the description or pinned comment without having to scroll outside of the video? Limited width for reading, amirite? Plus this can create parity of recommendations with the front page, which should decrease maintenance and bugs, along with providing the ability to actually click on the channels.

Note that I’m less supportive of extending this to theater mode.

    The problem is you still can’t scroll through comments without the video staying in place.

      By staying in place, do you mean the entire thing scrolls down instead of just the comments?

        Not sure if it’s still the same, but when I was randomly given that interface when they were testing it a few weeks back, the video panel wasn’t static. So if you wanted to continue scrolling down the comments, the entire page including the video panel moves too. It would be great of the video stayed in place while you scroll.

          I still don’t understand. Does the video scroll along with the comments?

          Edit: I don’t seem to understand the downvotes either

    Videos are typically landscape shaped while my browser window is often portrait shaped.

    That is to say, there’s usually more room below the video than next to it.
