It only sucks if your internet sucks

They should have just extended it to be as wide as the white container, not like 3 inches past.

YouTube has been doing thing just a little bit wrong for years now

Make it smaller if  you want it to? There's a button for a reason.

i have youtube snapped to the right and everything else to the left. The player only gets really big when you maximise the screen, so if you want it to be the previous size, snap it

why are people seriously complaining about this? why would you not want to see the video better?

Because my internet sucks stuff and higher quality means more buffering

The viewing size doesn't affect the quality of video that it uses unless it detects your internet connection can handle it.

So obviously, that's not the issue. We're back to: Why would you not want to see the video better?
