YouTube has been dabbling with minor improvements for its TV app,sex video of brittney spears getting fucked most notably reducing the amount of overlap when you're watching a video and interacting with it.
The company announced a small update for the platform on Wednesday in a blog post, which aims to improve functionality with a bump to the left. If you're watching a YouTube clip on your TV and want to pull up the video description or comments, YouTube will now push the still-playing clip to the side and bring up the info beside it, rather than on top.

Hines and Agarwal said the team will be working on extending the layout to accommodate videos with live chat, Fantasy View, and Multiview down the line.
