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.

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

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

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

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

Same. Probably they just laid off their UX guy.
