Wonderful YouTube Easter Egg

Look at the two images juxtaposed above.

Can you tell the difference?

What is it?

I could be annoying and make everyone wait till tomorrow at this time for the big reveal but I'm not gonna do that.

Rather, I will digress a bit to give you a bit more time to find the difference, which in fact exposes the Easter egg, which may have been there forever for all I know.

Constant readers will know that sometimes I get fixated on a song such that I play it at max volume on repeat all day.

When the music from "Industry" hit my sweet acoustic nerve spot, I listened to it for several days, many many times.

Each time I had to click on the YouTube link, which got old really fast.

While I was daydreaming I noticed this tiny image 

just under the title of the music, at the extreme left.

"Wait a sec," I thought to myself, that's the same icon Apple Music use to turn on and off the Repeat function: you click on it and a tiny number 1

appears between the two arrows, indicating the player will repeat that one song indefinitely.

I tried it and it worked.

I'm so excited — I love discovering new features after everyone else has known about them for years.

It's the TechnoDolt©®™ way.

One more thing: I learned about an easy peasy YouTube repeat hack a number of years ago.

You started with the song's URL on YouTube, in the case of "Industry":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyOQCDsVmgA&list=PLl6VOF3VAfUqZfyjiW5aT4miCAWT9hhXN&index=1

Then you delete https:// ;  delete the word "watch" ; and insert the word "repeat" after YouTube in the URL:

www.youtube.com/repeat?v=WyOQCDsVmgA&list=PLl6VOF3VAfUqZfyjiW5aT4miCAWT9hhXN&index=1

Clicking on the revised URL would play the song forever on repeat.

Until YouTube blocked this hack; now if you try it, when you click on the revised URL you get this:
