first off: the previous fix for a youtube bug that I was thinking about was that the like button would stop the player. when the scrolling-stop happened yesterday, I confused one for the other and that’s why I said this issue had happened before and that it had also been fixed once. I was wrong about that.
but saying that the scroll-away stop always happened is not true. playing a video and then listening while I scroll thru the rest of the thread is a thing I do here all the time. that’s why I reported it yesterday: a thing you take for granted suddenly not working is jarringly odd. I’m not insane, right? @hello_friends, you noticed it, too. prior to yesterday (give-or-take), you could keep a song playing while scrolling through the same thread, right? anyone? @anon61221983? I feel like the Manchurian Candidate over here. Like when Discourse was changing my avatar and you said it was on my end.
fwiw, I never encountered this one
