Comment on Youtube's web UX team is a joke.
penquin@lemm.ee 3 months agoThis sounds new to me. I’ve never actually seen this. I do know about the hover over the video makes it play, but that’s all I know about. Nothing else happens when I hover over the thumbnail beside the video playing. Maybe because I use UBlock Origin and “Enhancer for YouTube” extensions on Firefox?

It’s not on every video, only those that have sponsored content, and it’s entirely possible that it only happens in jurisdictions where disclosure is required and enforced.
