I know a way you can remove it. when you watch a video there is going to be a lot of stuff in the URL (adressbar) like this: TtAmio3gDNA&playnext=1&videos=X2WOyBWN790&feature=sub. what you do is you remove the last "&" and hit enter. To clarify: you remove this: TtAmio3gDNA&playnext=1&videos=X2WOyBWN790&feature=sub. And hit enter. The video you watched will no longer have that stupid bar. :) Go on try it. ^^

Hands up if anyone else read "Youtube has cancer" and immediately thought this was about people who post there.
I thought that.

But yeah. That autoplay shit is a major ballache. Even with the ABP and Greasemonkey workarounds, it still autoplays my favorites list. This is pretty bullshit, IMO. I only want see a particular video most of the time. Not all of them.

I hate it, but I haven't seen it for a day or 2. It was only on one video in my subscriptions, and I guess I turned it off or something, because non of the others had it since.
What black magic is this? You must share your arcane arts with us!!!
All I remember is when it popped up, I switched the on switch to off, and I haven't seen it since I left that page. That was the only thing I did. It might have to do with who uploads the video, but I know I didn't change any options anywhere else in my account.

I loathe it with a passion! It wouldn't be so bad if it stays off when you turn it off, but every time you watch a video it turns itself back on!

Yeah, that only works for that particular video. That's still annoying, because the damn thing will come back on any other video. I refuse to remove that tag at each video.

Youtube's updates are starting to get more and more annoying. Petition anyone?

The whole google group is slowly killing itself. Clusterfuck image searches. Star rating removal and now this godawful grey log of excrement at the bottom of the screen.

Even now I've blocked it the autoplay refuses to die...

It's gotten to the point where I'm looking forward to a mass hacking / attack on youtube because they'll be more qualified to rectify the design mistakes.

you can take it out if you remove the url from the second "&." Though is it just my internet or has it been a lot slower since this update?

I can switch it off and I do. It's right there at the side "Autoplay on-off".
The problem is turning it off isnt permanent, every new instance of Youtube has to be set again.

OT: That bar is fucking annoying.

I thought YouTube WAS a cancer. Anyway, I've never seen that thing. I think my ad blocker blocks it.

Yeah, I hate it as well. I mean, I can see the appeal if you're setting up a playlist. But don't make it mandatory and permanent. That's ridiculous.

Also, another thing I can't stand is how sometimes, I don't know why, but it won't let me use the search bar. I can use the playlist, and the recommended videos, but if I want to make a search I have to go back to the homepage first.

It is insanely annoying. As is the grey area surrounding copyright content, the stupid commenters (I saw an argument about the army spring up on a dragonforce video once. WTF?) the ads, and my sister's tendency to leave her youtube account signed in, then complain when she ends up with "top ten horror kills" in her recommended list. That last one only happens to me, but believe me, it's annoying.
