I don't want to know how to make $100 an hour watching porn.
I don't want to watch a funny video of a bunny rabbit running around.
I don't want to see your friend's attempt at comedy.
I don't want to view more of your videos.
I don't want to rate your video 5 stars.
I don't want to subscribe.
I don't want to comment.
I don't want to have to click "turn annotations off" every fucking time I watch a video.

Am I the only one who finds annotations the most inane, ludicrous and featureless concept youtube has invented?

I instantly rate the video one star regardless of the content of the video.

They're the ugly speech bubbles which people can put on top of their videos.

Oh yeah, those are really annoying. Bad move by Youtube for putting that feature there. All it does is allow people to spam more efficiently.

I purposely make sure I don't put any in my own videos. If have an update edit, I'll put it in the description. I want the pre-Google YouTube back, but with HD enabled.

is there a way to turn annotations off as default, and turn em on if you really want to?

It's not so bad compared to the comments on a popular japanese youtube-equivalent

Everything but the centered text in the video are user comments scrolling by.
Luckily you can turn both youtube annotations and these comments off, but still who the hell even wants this
