The ability to watch runs is essential for anyone who wants to learn the game without figuring out everything from scratch. Much of the high-level strategy has been patiently honed and developed over the years, often exchanged between players verbally in the arcade scene or captured on a VHS tape. The gulf between a new player and a player who puts up a top score is massive. Worse yet, there is plenty of factually incorrect information out there about high-level play (like HG101's DOJ article) that only makes things more confusing for players hoping to improve their skills. The community is small and the techniques and strategies for high-level play are painfully esoteric. For us lowly shmup players, this feature change will erase quite a lot of valuable information, probably permanently.įor some context: shmups aren't exactly popular. The feature isn't used much any more, it can be abused if not used sparingly, and YouTube says that End Screens and Cards (which have text and a picture) get a lot more usage anyway.Īll things considered, it seems like a sensible idea.īut that's not the heart of this thread. Engaget offers a more complete look at the issue. Well, now YouTube will be removing all existing annotations from videos on January 15th, 2019. YouTube already announced the Annotation feature would be retired in May 2017 and removed the editor that same month.
