I've attached a screenshot.
It's inviting me to watch a thread.
All day, this has randomly appeared on every thread I've looked at.
It gets in the way of reading people's posts.
Please can you make it go away.

Thank you all for sharing your feedback about the new Watch button that appears at the top of the screen on threads. We added this in response to user feedback that they don't know if they want to watch until they've read some of the thread.

We hear you that at the moment the button feels too big, distracting, or gets in the way, and we totally get why that’s frustrating. We've got some ideas on how to make it less annoying and we're implementing them ASAP.

Our goal here is to make the site better and easier for everyone to use. Thanks again for letting us know how it’s working for you.

Hi everyone. Thank you again for the feedback. We’ve switched it off for now while we make improvements based on what you’ve shared. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know what wasn’t working, and we’ll keep you updated as we iterate.
