One thing that bothers me about the twitch player comparatively, is that YouTube will pause/play when you click the center of the video. Twitch requires you to navigate to a small icon

Twitch also annoyingly darkens the video when it's paused.

It's also missing the frame-by-frame keyboard shortcuts that YouTube has (useful when inspecting frame perfect gameplay).

I think they stopped adding features in 2015 and it never occurred to them that it might need a change or refresh.

I was also really annoyed at the darker bits, so I wrote some custom css rules for the twitch site.
It also occasionally has React(?) elements fail to render when you go into theatre mode

You can't move the error message without tinkering with the dom in dev tools. Really would be nice if they could focus on the cool stuff in between milking viewers for cash haha

I think that might actually be the issue I have with it too now that I think about it.
Could there be a patent involved?
