I literally can’t read this blog post because it keeps jumping to the top of the page to play the video again and again.

Maybe take 10% of the time you spent dreaming up new colors to just make your blog function like a regular page instead of adding a million weird animations?

Same here. It took six designers to change the color of the YouTube logo, but the design department of a company that built its entire existence on the web can’t build a functioning website.

Design is how it works. And your website doesn’t work.

They're professional designers, not HTML code monkeys, you insensitive clod!

Seriously, there are designers whose entire work output is PDFs or, more recently, stuff in L^HFigma, which lesser beings (read: developers) are expected to turn into functional HTML.

I could have sworn design used to be about how something was used and not just about how pretty and cute it looked.

Did no one at Google read this blog post on an iPhone before publishing?

That tracks.

I mean, if you're using a legacy browser engine like safari, that's on you or on apple, not google. All modern browser engines render this blog post just fine, including firefox, chrome, and w3m.

Knowing safari, there's already a bug filed for this behavior which is 6 years old and no one will ever look at or fix since safari on iOS has no competition and thus never has to actually fix bugs (and due to how progressive web apps work, fixing bugs actually takes away from apple's bottom line since safari is competing with the app store, their golden goose).

There's not really any point in supporting a browser engine that's closed source, changes at a whim, can't be compiled on linux to run in CI, and is built by a company that's actively hostile to web standards.

If you want to use the internet with a properly functioning browser and an iPhone, may I suggest moving to the EU where you'll soon be able to run other browser engines

Nah. Every other website on the internet can figure out how to overcome those allegedly insurmountable challenges, so how about I continue using Safari and they do the same.

Perhaps spend less time worrying about changing the color of the YouTube logo for no tangible reason.

It's a blog post not the dashboard of starship enterprise.

I don't know if your comment is satire.

Same problem, Safari / iOS - pausing the video at the top and then scrolling seems to resolve

Edit: Nevermind, seems related to how far you scroll. Scrolling further got me past the first few paragraphs that kept jumping back. Ugh

Same. Probably they just laid off their UX guy.

Same experience- crazy. Had to use reader mode- except it doesn't have the full post afaict.

And halfway down the page background becomes bright pink for me??

It's insane, they didn't even use Youtube for the embed either.
