Just like that, I'll have 3,000+ videos with graphics and links that don't go anywhere. To say nothing of the chat-prompts, bonus info, and corrections I also used them for... all the time. Thanks a lot.

Only seeing this reply now... But yes. That was a sad day as well. YouTube wants to control all the traffic.

Annoying if they were abused... which is a fault of the uploader. Plus, users could just toggle them off. This in no way excuses their complete removal.

Why? Who were annotations hurting? I legitimately cannot find a reasonable argument for this decision. There are such an abundance of older YouTube videos that will suffer as a result of this change: clarifications and redirects lost forever. Always forward, whatever the cost?

There was a fantastic series of "Choose your own adventure" style videos back in the day that relied entirely on annotations. Why remove it?
