There is a similar desktop app: https://freetubeapp.io/
My apologies then. I misunderstood the issue. What button are you talking about if you could elaborate a little more!
When you hover the mouse over the thumbnail of a video that contains sponsored content, the preview starts playing (which is another separate gripe I have) and new buttons slowly fade in. One of those is a hyperlink to an information page about sponsorships that takes up the upper half of the thumbnail's area. The problem is that those buttons are present and clickable as soon as the preview starts, but invisible for about half a second. Clicking on what appears to be the thumbnail might take you to a different page, and navigating back to the front page refreshes the suggestions.
This sounds new to me. I've never actually seen this. I do know about the hover over the video makes it play, but that's all I know about. Nothing else happens when I hover over the thumbnail beside the video playing. Maybe because I use UBlock Origin and "Enhancer for YouTube" extensions on Firefox?
It's not on every video, only those that have sponsored content, and it's entirely possible that it only happens in jurisdictions where disclosure is required and enforced.
Freetube is the app for the desktop platforms. It got some issues with the latest Google attempts to block the 3td party apps, but they're working on the new releases fast
Neat
