"Annotations usage has dropped >70%" Yeah that usually happens once you stop people from using something
End screens and cards are only more engaging because you guys are too lazy to figure out how to make annotations work on mobile. Annotations are so much more useful. They can be used for pointing out errors in a video, skipping to certain parts, interactive adventure videos, etc.
You know, I bet annotations would get a lot more love if you wouldn't have been disabling them for the past year. Of course they get less engaging if you start disabling them for new videos and never make them available for your biggest platform (mobile).
That doesn’t suddenly invalidate YEARS of old content on your website, classics from days gone by. You’ve already removed the ability to put them on so the engagement “issue” is solved moving forward, why strip them out of videos from the past?
you literally removed the option to make new annotations, as well as not including them on mobile. that's why annotation usage has dropped
"Annotations haven't been getting much love" "The annotations editor was deprecated back in May 2017"pic.twitter.com/UFyCnNX6us
what about the legacy of old videos? so what if they havent gotten love from viewers. keep them dude.
Literally why not keep them? I'm having a hard time seeing a reason to retroactively get rid of them beyond "they haven't been implemented on mobile," or "the UI isn't sexy enough"
Of course not as many people are engaging with annotations. People watch new videos more than old ones, and if new videos don't have them, the number of people engaging with them will drop. That doesn't mean they aren't worth keeping around though.
Sometimes you may only be able to find a tutorial that uses annotations to link to an updated video, or people who use annotations to make small corrections that slipped through during the production of the video.
