Why do I have to manually drag the radar bar?

Why do I now have to manually drag the radar bar to see where the rain is expected to fall in the next hour. How do I change this setting to go back to how it used to be where it did it automatically. If it can't be changed I ain't paying for it anymore. I understand changing things to make them better but this is 3 steps backwards

This has been requested by a very large number of users who are not interested in the pseudo-forecast for the next hour. It's simply an extrapolation of the latest radar loop image.
If Windy sets it as an automatic extension of the radar loop, many of us will request its removal. Sorry. -

@idefix37 I get that some users don't want extrapolated radar and consider it misleading. That's fair.
However, changing the default behavior for everyone because a subset of users disliked it creates the opposite problem: another subset now dislikes it.
This seems like a classic case where an option or toggle would be the best solution instead of removing convenience entirely. That way, users who don't want the pseudo-forecast can turn it off, while others don't.
We're seeing the same situation with the new radar icons (snow, hail, etc..). Personalization solves these conflicts far better than forcing one preference on all users, especially when the same discussions keep popping up every day... By the way, I actually find such feature pretty cool, though I can also see myself disabling it at times for better readability, which is exactly why having the choice matters.
