Make horizontal player buttons less intrusive
When watching vods or clips on the horizontal mobile player, tapping to bring up controls makes the follow, notification, and sub buttons pop up. WHY??
When you're watching live it's not a huge deal because you don't need to use the seek bar. But watching a vod or clip, it's insanely annoying having those buttons take up a third of the screen every time you want to go back a few seconds. If I'm watching a vod from a channel I've been subbed to for a year, why I would want the option to unsub and unfollow them popping up every time I want to go to a different part of the vod?
I don't think anyone would miss it if you made it so that group just never showed up in the horizontal viewer. It'd make watching vods a lot nicer. I would love it if this was changed.
Also, related to that, the areas you can tap to activate the skip back and skip forward buttons are really small. If I want to go back more than ten seconds, 70% of the time I will end up opening or closing chat. The fact that the channel info bar moves everything up a half inch doesn't help. The detection areas for those being bigger, or the chat being toggled with a horizontal swipe could be helpful.

So you think the unfollow confirmation prompt really isn't enough? At least nowadays there is a prompt "Are you sure you want to unfollow ${channel}?"

When using mobile, there’s always the high risk of accidentally unfollowing someone when tapping your device, which could annoy people who like seeing their followage. Introducing a passcode could help prevent unwanted unfollows, while still being quick and easy.
