What is it?

  • Bugfix (user facing)
  • Feature (user facing) ⚠️ Your PR must target the refactor branch
  • Codebase improvement (dev facing)
  • Meta improvement to the project (dev facing)

(It's hard to classify a cosmetic change into one of these categories.)

Description of the changes in your PR

  • Replaces the "not available" graphic with a cuter frowny face.

Before/After Screenshots/Screen Record

Before After

Fixes the following issue(s)

The current sad face looks somewhat crude. The eyes are large and hollow and frankly a bit scary! (When I posted this opinion online I got 38 likes, for whatever that's worth.) In my friend's words: "it makes the experience of not being able to watch a video just that little bit more worse". I'd like to replace it with something that looks "cuter", while still having character and being a bit lopsided like the current "monkey".

This question has some smart people's thoughts on why it's good to keep an error graphic on the delightful side.

Ooh, this is so cute...! That's a huge improvement, in my book.
