"YouTube will finally let you dismiss the pop-ups that fill your screen with recommendations at the end of a video. Now, when you come across an end screen, you can select a new "hide" button in the top-right corner of the video so you can finish what you're watching without distractions. YouTube says it's making the change in response to feedback that viewers want to be able to "focus on the content they're watching.""
"YouTube notes that when you select the "hide" button, it only applies to the video you're watching - not all of them on the platform. You can also bring back the end screen by selecting the "show" button. YouTube found that this didn't have a substantial impact on a creator's view count while testing the feature, as it says the "hide" button resulted in just a 1.5 percent decrease in views from end screens."
YouTube introduced a per-video "hide" button that removes end-screen recommendation pop-ups so viewers can finish videos without distractions. The hide control appears in the top-right corner of videos and can be reversed with a "show" button. Hiding applies only to the current video and does not affect other videos on the platform. Testing showed the hide option decreased views from end screens by about 1.5 percent, indicating minimal impact on creator counts. Separately, YouTube is removing the desktop hover subscribe button on channel watermarks while creators can still add end screens and watermarks.
