Are you sure that is Youtube, and not what your browser normally do ?
ugunaeatdat
Whilst. Thought that went out with the 19th century.
Kynolin
Exactly this! I've been so glad I can quickly scroll down half the page... no wait, I want to pause it.
Tannerthanwho
Shift+space bar to reverse

Porn sites have a better user interfaces on their video players than YouTube

On the URL, change the 'you' to 'red' does a thing too.

Gradeaundera video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMoqUmTN6EA
ChammyChanga
There's a hotkey for that: j, k, and l correspond to back 10 seconds, pause, and forward 10 seconds.
Diskocheese
Taking a wild fucking guess here assuming nobody here remembers the spacebar is where we went to load the next screen of text on a terminal.
mostlyhonest
"more" is still my friend.
lonelyorange
My think is that I try to use the down arrow to scroll through the comments, like I do here. Instead it just lowers my volume...
lonelyorange
Fuck it all. Thing*
MothBabe
How did this get so upvoted, it's actually the worst attempt at shitposting I've ever seen.
whyamiconfused
J for going back 10 seconds, K for pausing, L for going forward 10 seconds. Why? Idk
Itsnotlateyet
.-. imgur does it too
tokomak
Spacebar to scroll is a standard feature of the web that has been their since the 90s. This is the one case where youtube got off it's lawn.
Chlor
Arguably even way before then. Using Spacebar as page-down has been a standard since at least the early 80's.
assholecasserole
How about a 6 minute ad before a 51 second video? Yea I'll be sure to watch that
mostlyhonest
To be fair, you can skip it after a few seconds. Or you can block it easily ;)
kevlarburrito
So...there's this thing...called Adblock...

TIL you can use K to pause a youtube video...Thanks imgur!

usually space pauses a video for me, just make sure the video is the last clicked object. ex: full screen pause unpause
dangerousmelon
More upvotes for thee! I didn't realise people were ignorant on this issue. :O
Codiferous
This.
dobbythehouseelf
Yeah I know this. It didn't used to be this way though and for other websites I can press space and it will pause it totally fine.
myingling
This is the right answer. If the video doesn't have focus (the last thing you clicked) the browser interprets SPACE itself instead. Try it!
TechnicallyRight
people use computers, they don't know how they work. that's the real issue. They do exactly what you tell them and that frustrates people.

People who change standard user patterns makes it really hard for blind or otherwise disabled people to use the Internet.
Tikityler
Spacebar is the standard for scrolling down the page. Click on the dark grey on either side of this comment and it will do the same thing...
Tikityler
when you press spacebar. Most video players require you to click on the video to start it. That puts it in focus then you can play pause ...
Tikityler
with spacebar. You can just click on the youtube video and then it works.
kungfurocket
Yeah it's pretty difficult for blind people to get youtube lined up correctly on their page
rshini
Not all Blind people are 100% blind and it's often used for music.
lurkmoar
Not sure if you're making a joke or just that ignorant. Blind people use the Internet too. I know, shock!
kungfurocket
Yes, there is sarcasm, but I'm commenting SPECIFICALLY on page alignment. Of course blind people use the internet. I know, shock!
kingzaid
If it does that it means you clicked the page last. Select the video to stop this

going down half the page when pressing spacebar is a browser feature. k is youtubes dedicated play/pause button. j/l is 10sec forward/back

In theater mode space-bar pauses. They could've implemented that for compact view as well. Consistent UX is important.

It is consistent now though, with 99% of the rest of the web.

I'm actually pretty pissed when websites pause/play instead of scrolling down. Standard browser features should remain standard.
Goddesahpan
Space also works as play/pause if the video has focus.

Which is so goddamn annoying lol

Right and left arrow keys go forward and back 5secs and forward and back one frame when paused

MyOtherShipIsAPython
You can also enter/exit fullscreen with F and jump to a certain time in tenths with the numeric keys.
4sambucas
just like z, x, c, v, and b in winamp is previous, play, pause, stop and next

What about the 30 and 45 sec unskippable ads but yet they give you 15 sec ads that you can skip?
ISellEffinKias
Love how those high res ads play flawlessly, but the video with lower res buffers like crazy.
10champ10
The ads MUST play in HD and with 200 kb/s internet on a great day these ads get really fustrating.
Ghanfer
I think that has more to do with the company and what they paid YouTube.
RubyDJMoon
What about the 2 minutes ads that you can't skip, the 30 second ads that you can and the 15 second ads that you can't skip...
DarthFutuza
With an adblocker you can be unstoppable.
WhyleKat
But then the YouTubers don't get paid.
DarthFutuza
Then you'll just have to live with that guilt or watch the ad.
Rahunei
I don't feel bad. I'd rather pay a subscription to youtube than allow bullshit ads about how I wash my sheets wrong.
metzershmit
Or scary ones when you're home alone trying to get your mins off of the feeling that someone else is in your house.
SoIncrediblyBored
Youtube Red is an option in the US. No ads, download able videos.
Millerchill22
Just press k on the keyboard and it won't do that
harizraze
Wow! You've just revolutionised the way I interact with YouTube.
jazzchameleon
K pauses it, J goes back 10 seconds, and L goes forward 10 seconds. M mutes it, and shftN goes to the next video in a playlist
filthyRebleScum
It was fine befor why would it suddenly be stupid
2niglets1pornocup
actually it turns out that if you click the video (then click it again to unpause it..) space bar works fine as a pause button.
Thecatintherye
But that's too much work!
DanteLidge
Just click the bar on the bottom of the video, won't pause but you can then use spacebar

Press ‘K’ to initiate an argument.
avidday04
I understand K is pause but for everything else ever it's spacebar and they need to get it together.
BoneThatTrombone
Because a sudden "K" stops conversation immediately
BatmanBot
I think 'k' is a good key once you get used to it, because then you've got 'l' and 'j' used to go forwards and backwards
lucillethelooseseal
Yes. This is common practice in video editing software's too
mybrothersmario
J and L go by 10 seconds, arrow keys do 5 seconds.
somespazzoid
K, thanks
ImAChiquitaBanana
Yup. K is the pause button. J is rewind and L is fast forward, too. Themoreyouknow.gif

J and L are 10 second skips, arrow keys are 5 second skips.

FogOfWar122
Its just that the L and J keys skip forward and backwards 10 seconds, with the pause button right between the two.
Salazar098
J moves the play head back 10 seconds K pauses and L moves forward 10 seconds. J K L, right beside each other. The more you know.
Treebeardsbeard
No no.. you see K stands for potassium on the periodic table, and potassium and pause both start with P so it makes sense.

J,K,L are video player standard for back, play/pause, forward since before youtube was a twinkle in some developer's eye.
hugh705
Is that from vi?
Gameskyjumper
which stand for Just, Kidding, Lol.
stealthgunner385
And Z,X,C,V,B were audio player standards for back,play,pause,stop,forward. At least WinAMP and everyone that followed.
Foxafillion
All the popular editors like premiere and avid use those shortcuts as well
beyondtwosouls
h,j,k,l are also used for navigation in command line text editors like vim. Some sites like facebook use j (down) and k (up) as well.
