Beschreibung

There currently are many options for very small behavior changes, e.g. default playback speed, automatic playback start, .... Currently, it likely takes about 20 minutes or more to go through LibreTube's settings page and understand everything.

On one hand, that makes it very difficult for new users to get into the app. On the other hand, that increases the maintenance burden, because we can't test all of these very specific options and hence they break frequently without us noticing.

In most cases, having good default settings fits 99% of the users very well, so we can keep things much simpler for the average user by focusing on good defaults instead of having too much customisability.

We're currently trying to remove a lot of options that don't add much value to the app, e.g. https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/issues/7659. Of course we won't remove infinitely many options, fundamental settings like the theme, notifications, ... and privacy-related settings like automatic update checks, SponsorBlock, ... will stay forever.

Examples for such small behavior changes that we don't want to implement:
