How does something as big as a player redesign go through so little QA on one of the largest websites in the world?

I think the trend is clear, ideally you don't want anything between you and your computer. Hence the rise of touch screen phones (combining the keyboard and touch controls with the screen).
What I'm excited about is moving from 2D controls to 3D environments. It is still a little early but if you look at VR, you can create any sort of interface with your computer. Need more monitors? Just edit your scene. Need a bigger or smaller monitor? Easy, edit your config file. Those monitors you just created ... you can make them respond to touch or your eyeball movement.
The only hardware you will need is a VR kit (headset for vision and audio + gloves/knuckles for your hand interface).
Also any battery on your device is also a potential fire hazard. There are procedures in place to deal with such cases.
It really is true that at any moment there is probably 4 other teams working on a similar idea as you are.
Well I will not give up. Good luck to you too!
