The article keeps snapping back to the top as I scroll. (iOS safari, latest version.)

Why does anyone ever implement JavaScript that tries to mess with your scroll position? Like, ever? Can we stop this madness?

There's a big opportunity to build apolitical uncensored clone of YouTube. Current alternatives lack funding and don't function well

How is that related to a new YouTube design?

Six well-paid Google designers trumpeting a new…gradient.

Maybe I’m too curmudgeonly for my own good, but that is quite underwhelming.

On Mobile Safari the page scrolls up to the top every few seconds. Adds a novel bit of interactivity to the article.

The least they could do is write up something as unhinged as that old Pepsi design strategy document.

A comment I made when I started noticing the magenta gradient at the end of the progress bar: it's a bit anxiety-inducing for those who remember needing to degauss their monitors, because it looks almost exactly like when you mess up a CRT with a magnet.

(Aside from that: not a fan, it makes the chrome of the video player more distracting.)
