The end of an era! WE WILL MISS YOU ANNOTATIONS! https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7342737 …pic.twitter.com/vOur6MEnH2
I 100% get not supporting annotations anymore, but for everyone who spent tons of time giving giving proper credit to people who worked on content I think deserve some explanation for why YouTube is completely undoing all that work. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7342737 …pic.twitter.com/ktvELvX0MR
We can help with an explanation! In short, End Screens & Cards have proven more effective/engaging, and annotations usage has dropped >70%. As the annotations editor was deprecated back in May 2017, no new annotations have been created since then. More:https://goo.gl/NTtajx
Sorry, I understand that annotations is an old-ass product that you don't want to support anymore. I'm concerned about eliminating credits, which a lot of people put a lot of work into to give people proper credit. There should be a way to preserve that work.
Also, annotations (while clunky) were really useful! and I think the real reason their use declined was that they never made it to mobile. I suspect there was a technical reason for that, but I don't think it's "annotations aren't used;" it's "mobile is increasingly used".
Yeah, annotations were impossible to port to mobile and also were abused LOTS. Cards and endscreen is much more controlling to avoid abuse, but also it prevents many of the uses that I was most interested in (mostly fixing mistakes.)
That was my main use for them, too. Now the only way to correct something is through comments or the description. Which isn't exactly effective.
I most commonly watch YouTube via a queue on Chromecast. I see neither the description nor pinned comments, unless I'm specifically looking for something. Definitely agree, not a good place for corrections. (Not that I see annotations or links in the corner either)
Amusingly, I *can* see end cards, though, obviously, I can't click on them. Definitely do add links to videos you reference in the description, else I can't find them.
