Maybe this is just me being dumb, but is there a way to read the annotations on older You Tube videos? I was watching old videos from Jeepers Media (a channel that did product reviews) for the nostalgia and it suddenly occurred to me that YouTube doesn’t have annotations anymore. Now that channel was (in)famous for the excessive use of annotations, and I kind of miss them.

Probably because YouTube is trying out a new feature for recommended videos within videos.
