A selection of YouTube viewers have recently noticed there’s a little something different with the look of the website.

    I’m gonna go against the grain and say this is the only change I’ve seen them make in a long time that I’m glad to see. I often read comments while watching the video, especially now that dislikes are gone to quickly tell if a video is real or not, or if there’s anything else to be wary of. I never scroll video suggestions until after I’m done watching the video, to decide what to watch next. This layout just makes more sense for that.

      When I scroll down to the comments, a smaller version of the video already remains visible on top. Is this not a default youtube feature?
