You talkin to me?

What bar am I talking about?
YouTube has recently been undergoing a lot of changes and one of those, hated by most, is the replacement of the playlist sidebar. What could be so bad about it? The 'autoplay' setting is always set to 'On' every time it loads. Also, if you get anywhere near the bar with your cursor it slides up...that's a problem when you try to favorite a video without having to scroll down.

NOTE: For me, when I view a video from the front page such as "Recommended for You" it still autoplays to the next video, this is because the video link has a tag to enable it.
