- Instead of 2 ways to display ads (DOM injection + React method) and having both of them clash, just do it the predictable React way.
- Augment the existing React version to support tile layout + ability to place in last visible slot.
- Consolidate styling code to scss ... DOM manipulations were making it even harder to maintain.
- Removed the need to check for ad-blockers for now. It was being executed every time an ad is displayed, and now that we are displaying ads in more places, the gains doesn't justify the performance loss. Also, it wasn't being done for Recommended ads anyway, so the inconsistency probably means it's not needed in the first place.
Other known issues fixed:
- double ad injection when changing language via nag.
- additional "total-blocking-time" due to ads at startup removed.
- fixed ads not appearing in mobile homepage until navigated away and back to homepage.
- enable ads in channel page.
- support for both List and Tile layout.

Clients can still choose to roll their own way of showing "is fetching", like how ClaimListDiscover displays a whole bunch of placeholder tiles. This just serves as a default.
The idea of using claim_search to indirectly batch-resolve didn't work out well. There's something wrong with the claim_search pagination where some results are duplicated in multiple pages, while some are missing. It's also returning less results that than the given number of claim ids, so sometimes the infinite scroll breaks.
The `useDualLayout` junk is super confusing to maintain and no longer extensible.
At the expense of making the "livestream + regular" list no longer seamlessly continuous when expanded (or when there just a handful of livestreams), use the new `subSection` feature to inject the livestream tiles. This is far easier to manage and tweak.
## Issues
1. We were manually adding `selectLanguage(state)` as a prop to components used in Settings Page to trigger a render. Flaws:
- Unclear that the unused prop is just to trigger a render.
- Manually adding on a case-by-case basis will break over time, especially when language can now be changed outside of the Settings Page.
2. The translation file fetching is delayed and also takes time, so the GUI will end up having mixed strings on F5, depending on when the fetch completed.
## Approach
Make the app wrapper have a key that's tied to the language and translation data, so the entire app renders when language changes. Seems like a common design in most apps.
## Ticket
921 language refresh / selection issues
## Ticket
948 wildwest: always show boosting message, move next to category name
## Changes
1. Make "Show less livestreams" share the same space as "Boosted by LBC", instead of only showing either 1.
- It's a bit troublesome to move it next to the filter without tweaking the generic `ClaimListDiscover`, so I think this would be a good compromise.
2. Fix "show less livestreams" being super tiny in mobile.
- I think it is caused by some component-specific changes are being applied at the global level (not sure).
* Bump react-draggable
Old version was giving out console errors for outdated react functions
* Refactor fileRenderFloating
* Merge fileRenderMobile into fileRenderFloating
* Fixes from review
* Attempt fix failed to view live
## Root-cause?
It doesn't happen on the commit before the Theme change. However, it's possible that the y-pos is reset since we are indeed unmounting the dual list and re-mounting the single list.
Maybe the css got more efficient and we ended up painting more frames than before.
## Fix
Fix by stashing and restoring the the y-position during the expansion.
## Issue
When loading the homepage, I kept seeing a blank page with footer first. Even Google is picking it up.
## Ticket
572 Slow appearance of tiles
## Notes
The tiles were originally delayed to prevent the "Upcoming Livestream" section from causing layout shifts.
With the new theme, the footer would cause a visible shift anyway. Hiding the footer is one solution, but I think not showing anything until the fetch is done is bad because the livestream fetch could stall.
## Why
The playing URI was being cleared every time we leave the File Page, I believe to prevent the floating from continue playing outside of the File Page.
## Approach
Close FileRenderMobile by checking playingUri/primaryURI instead.
For the case of livestreams, just display it.
## Issue
534 prevent new channel creation over x channels
## Notes
Also handled from the API call (`doCreateChannel`) in case there are other UI components that create channels.
Code-splits the module into "dnd.js", reducing the ui.js bundle size. This module is only needed when viewing lists.
## Room for improvement
`ClaimList` can probably improve further by only using the dnd components in "edit" mode.
## Implementation notes
- The modules are not default exports, so the additional chaining to `React.lazy` was required.
- Experimenting with using an Object to store the import so that a single "prettier-ignore" can be used to make it not wrap.
- The FlowFixMe came from the original code. It is unclear why it is needed to resolve the module, but Haffa mentioned it's something related to .flowconfig.
- Move stickers and emojis to a single menu comment-selectors on both mobile and desktop
- More style improvements
- Some fixes
- Fix livechat scrolling
- CommentsList needs to return a title with comment amounts
- mobile player dimensions needed to fill in the cover
- hid livestream header for now until figuring out a better presentation
- ~colum-reverse~ was causing problems with MUI's drawer scrolling, so reversed the chat order and made it ~column~ by default
- Hid bottom expand navigation if component not yet opened
- some other style changes in the middle
* Fix avatar occasionally stuck in spaceman
## Issue
Sometimes, we'll see a channel profile (e.g. in upper-right, in channel selector) stuck in the fallback Spaceman image.
This is due to OptimizedImage always starting with a blank src, and updated later when the mounted size has been determined. ChannelThumbnail, which uses OptimizedImage, captured the `onError` due to blank src.
## Fix
Don't mount the <img> until the optimum size has been determined.
* FileThumbnail: skip resolve if thumbnail url is specified
* UriIndicator: skip resolve if channel info is specified
* Notifications: disable batch resolve + use fetched data if available + fallback to resolve if n/a
The fallback is using the individual resolve when no direct data is provided and claim is undefined.
* Patch to restore position upon returning to video until more fully fleshed out fix can be introduced
* Add code to notify other open tabs of position saving
* Fix typo
* Wrap localStorage access in try/catch in event browser settings make it unavailable
* Remove formatting changes
* Move constant from 'pages' to 'player'
* Move dispatch out of try/catch
* Fixed typo
## Issue
Closes 385
## Approach
As mentioned in the ticket, the current places where that info is needed is in the Invites Page and Social Share Component.
1. Invites Page: it is already doing the fetch on mount, so no issue there.
2. Social Share: show spinner until the data is fetched.
