YouTube will finally let you hide popups at the end of videos


YouTube is making it easier to prevent annoying end screen suggestions from blocking the end of a video.

These end screen popups are a standard part of most YouTube videos, but the company says it received community feedback that viewers wanted to dismiss them so they "focus on the content they're watching." YouTube claims neither of these changes will prevent video creators from adding things like end screens or watermarks if they want to, and the tweaks themselves only have a minor effect on the views or subscriptions a channel earns. Meanwhile, "less than ~0.05 percent of all channel subscriptions come from the hover-to-subscribe functionality on the video watermark," so removing the option isn't much of a loss.
