Problem Description
You're browsing the comment section for timestamped comments. Every time you click one it sends you all the way up to the video player (even with picture in picture enabled.) Now you gotta scroll all the way back down for the next one.
Proposed Solution
Let the user pop out the entire comment section, viewing it next to the video. (This would have similar functionality to using the PIP miniplayer but crucially, doesn't utilize the gimped PIP miniplayer. It would be preferable)
Alternatives Considered
Let users disable the automatic scroll-up altogether. That's what the home key on your keyboard is for
Let users "pin" comments to the top of the comment section. This can stay there even after you leave a la this idea
Stop the automatic scroll-up if the PIP miniplayer is in use
Have a tiny menu next to the video player that displays timestamped comments, styled like youtube's "transcript" menu
Add functionality to pop out individual comments. This would work well if there's one comment with all the timestamps

Additional Information
Some of these are easy, some of these are hard, please do one of them. I've seen that a lot of people want this functionality in one way or another, it would be a big leap in smoothing out the UX. I think this counts as containing more than one feature request but it did ask me to provide alternatives, sorry. If you ask me to I'll split the ones that didn't already exist into new feature requests
