Been looking for a comment to post my own pet peeve under:
Pausing a Youtube video overlays the video with a row of more video recommendations.
So if I'm pausing the video to see something in the video, video thumbnails are in the way.
This happens in the Roku app and sometimes in the desktop browser, but for some reason I couldn't trigger it when I tested it just now. Maybe one of my extensions blocks it.
Pausing for me on mobile downsizes and letterboxes the video, shifts it to the left, and shows an ad on the right. The forward/play or pause/back buttons also shift to the left, which means that you can't tap the same spot to resume.
