YouTube to discontinue video annotations: They just don’t work

If you are a fan of YouTube videos and always forages on the latest trending videos on this platform, then you surely are annoyed with video annotations. Students use YouTube to look for videos for their subjects and it is kind of annoying when unnecessary sections pop up on the screen. There was a certain community forum where users of YouTube argued about the pros and cons of video annotations. The results of the debate lead to annotations being removed in the user options on the website but videos with annotations already will remain.
