Topic: a longstanding user interface problem with youtube: the placement of the "show less" link

OK, to read a full description of a video, you click "show more". That's fine. Then you risk getting a fucking god damn long motherfucker of a description. You say to yourself, fuck I'm not reading all that. Make it go away. But there's no "show less" link. Not until you scroll your way through the fucking word jungle to the bottom. Fuck you, youtube.

Then you lose where you were in the video.

No, YouTube saves the time you were at. You can go back days later and resume from that moment if you wanted to.

I just tested this and it didn't work.

Apologize.

I think you need to upgrade your web browser.
