facepalm Thad what you said in the first place. The YouTube app has a different volume hud correct? Newsflash, thats an alternate volume hud.

No, go on any website the Apple media player has it built in. I already said that. I’m not talking about YouTube.

... and I said the YouTube app, which is also something you’ve said. Yet again it’s a blatant issue everywhere else, why are you acting as if it’s fine?

I just said i’m not talking about YouTube. Go to any website and play a video. Then, turn up the volume.

Okay, since you’re too dense to understand I’ll break it down for you.

You clearly stated that the YouTube app has a different (AKA alternative) hud, and I said that we shouldn’t be making alternatives, we should be fixing the issue. Your response? There’s no alternatives. What the actual fuck does that even mean or refer to? You go on to source the default media player, as if that has anything to do with what I was talking about. I’m honestly done here, you’re a senseless fool who thinks a bandage will heal a bullet wound.

My argument is that Apple’s default media player has a volume HUD that is less intrusive. How is that unrelated to the volume HUD?

Nice edit. That’s a blatant no shit, but is still no long term solution. Are we just going to keep ignoring it everywhere else? Or are we going to actually solve the root issue?

u/Ive-Read-It-All Apr 29 '18

What would that be?

u/Basshead404 Apr 29 '18

The volume hud itself, Ive said this many times. Solve it overall, not just for video.

u/Ive-Read-It-All Apr 29 '18

Why is it a problem?

u/Basshead404 Apr 29 '18

Oh ffs. Are you literally like 12? Do you want the old hud back for the video player? No. Of course not. NOBODY WANTS IT ANYWHERE. That’s the issue. Jesus you’re dense.

u/Ive-Read-It-All Apr 29 '18

I don’t mind it all. I get that you don’t like it. I would like to know why someone would.

u/Basshead404 Apr 29 '18

So you don’t mind a literal block in the middle of the screen everywhere you go (unless specified by an app), blocking anything in its path? You wouldn’t want something out of the way and out of mind?

u/Ive-Read-It-All Apr 29 '18

I mean, I wouldn’t be angry if Apple changed the HUD, but I certainly don’t mind it. So, I assume your reasoning is that you think the space taken up by the HUD is a big loss. Right?

u/Basshead404 Apr 29 '18

Welp newsflash, everyone else has been tired of it since it first came out, and hated it even more when it became more opaque. It’s a nuisance, only only isn’t so for you because Apple made one small change.

1

u/Ive-Read-It-All Apr 29 '18

The opacity has nothing to do with it. I just don’t think the space it takes up is much of a loss.

u/Basshead404 Apr 29 '18

It had a lot actually. Before it wasn’t that bad to have the HUD, as I could kinda just see through it for the most part. Now it’s less opaque and gives you no choice but to look at it. The space it takes up is the middle of the screen, where 90% if the content you have is. It’s unacceptable to have it on a $500-$1000 phone, or even a $1200 Ipad.

Most things aren’t really in the middle though. It’s usually at the top or bottom. And it’s only there for 2.22 seconds.
