i was injecting custom css into the site that made the avatars round, and noticed comment avatars looked a little odd
i opened dev tools and siffed through the html, and noticed that the image was being padded,
when it would look nicer if the element used margin instead of padding
with padding:

with proposed changes (margin instead of padding):

The behavior was as follow: on Right-To-Left text (e.g Arabic) that is wrapped
(because it's too long to fit on one line), the second row and following rows
may or may not be right aligned (as RTL text should be). Opening the devtools
fixes that alignement, as consistently as closing the devtool breaks it.
This problem seems to arrive only in the following configurations (link nested
in a paragraph, both of which may or may not have the dir= attribute):
* `<p><a href="some_link">RTL_TEXT</a></p>`
* `<p><a href="some_link" dir="auto">RTL_TEXT</a></p>`
* `<p dir="auto"><a href="some_link">RTL_TEXT</a></p>`
with the following CSS:
```
p {
unicode-bidi: plaintext;
text-align: start;
}
```
Changing the HTML to the following configuration (a paragraph with the dir=
attribute, nested in a link) seems to fix it:
`<a href="some_link"><p dir="auto">RTL_TEXT</p></a>`
This will prevent, on large pages, the LTR and RTL text to be
far away, on each side of the page. This could happen on channel
and playlists descriptions, when the page is displayed on a large
screen.
Adding these styles is the easiest way to add bidi (bidirectional text) support without or with least side effect. I have tested it by adding it manually on yewtu.be instance and so far it works very well.
