Re: Is there ANY way to turn the Annotations Editor OFF?

smalin

YouTube Timmy reported back in February that this problem had been
fixed (see http://help.youtube.com/group/youtube-announcements/browse_thread/thr...
in the announcements section), so I think this has moved out of the
"recent upgrade" category.  I'd go a step further: I don't ever use
annotations, so I'd like the option of disabling the annotation editor
globally, for all my videos, past and future, so that I'd never have
to deal with this issue again.
