“The use of annotations has decreased by more than 70 percent. For this reason, it’s time to stop supporting the annotation editor. Starting from the second of may, you will no longer have the ability to add new or edit existing annotations, only delete them. Existing annotations will continue to appear only when using the desktop,” – said the developers of the service.

“In fact, viewers don’t like annotations, and on average they cover 12 of the annotation before clicking on one of them. And more and more spectators to disable annotations in General”, – said the product Manager muli Salem.
