Please, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, allow us to disable this chapter skipping feature (the one where tapping left or right to bring up the scrubber, then double tapping the other direction because 100% of people want to skip that direction some unit time - 10 seconds by default). This ends up feeling random and is just vexing.
It is the worst feature added to any software, maybe ever in the history of computing. How many hours are wasted trying to figure out where one was in this video? How much power and network bandwidth is consumed fighting this feature that I’ve not seen a single comment online of anybody benefitting from ever.
This feature is adding to human suffering by wasting energy and damaging people psychologically. Go please, look online, and consider castigating the creator of this feature in the public square. And then take a good hard look at yourself for not stopping this evil from ever being added in the first place.
Yours aye, Sane People
Just to clarify, you use the one tap to bring up the controls then double tap the opposite direction to skip chapters? If so, then I stand corrected, at least in certitude.
In either case do you see clicking three times better than the other option to simply two-finger tap the direction you want to chapter skip? That to me is more efficient and doesn’t have an unintuitive, user experience overlap with a very commonly used feature, skipping time increments.
On the phone, ok, I agree. I mainly watch YouTube on the computer. I misunderstood your upset.
I see. I probably should have been more clear, but thank you for the follow up. I’m genuinely curious if there will be people that do see this as a good feature, and if so, why? Not for debate, but as a matter of interest.
It’s all good; I was reading before fully awake, so that’s on me, too.
I think either a confirmation dialogue or at the very least a long tap would be a fantastic change to make. Most of the damn time if I’m changing a whole chapter it’s because I screwed up on a 30 second fast forward and got to do the wrong chapter anyway
