I enjoyed many applications of YT's annotations. Episodes of MST3K uploaded by Shout! were annotated with expository notes that explicated references throughout. This may read as an insufferable attempt to cater to you hopelessly, obliviously inscient millennials and zoomers, but those annotations were actually succinctly entertaining, and not terribly disctracting.

I didn't know mobile users were the reason this went away. Phone users really are a cancer that needs to be removed from the Web for good. Removing features to appease phone zombies is akin to abolishing stairs because wheelchair-bound people can't utilise them.

lolwut fears the phoneposter...

It is pretty sad that mobile phone use was predominantly behind the removal of annotations. My own personal bugbear involving their removal is that I can no longer play 'The Dark Room'.

Robert, I also enjoyed annotations, and very rarely ever turned them off. Koshka and Club Nintendo Archives, I know -- I will never understand the reasoning behind that decision. They could have at least left existing annotations intact to preserve all that history. Froge, "loathing" or "contempt" are more accurate words regarding my attitude towards mobile users...

koshka: any comparison of subhumans to the disabled constitutes cruelty toward the latter. Shame on you.
