Big problem while watching classic games

I do mostly watch games and don't play, so i stumble about this "Problem" a lot: If there is a current game, for example in classic, and some higher players are starting a new game you get immidiately redirected to this game. I think this is very bothersome becouse you are thinking about your own ideas during a game and now you dont know how it ended. For bullet this seems plausible but it can't for classic. Please make it like so: ONLY If a game is finished (in classic or in longer timecontroles) then direct someone to the new and higher rated game. Thanks a lot
Yes, also sometimes you watch a game, which you want to analyse after, but you are redirected to another game. And you have no links on the game you just was watching. There should stay a link on a previous game, when you get redirected on another.
Maybe an additional button would suffice, allowing to open the game displayed in Lichess TV.
Of course it is possible to hover a name and click the TV button for that player, but a big, shiny button, that hits the eyes of the spectator could be of some use.

If everyone knows this button is to "stay with the game and chat on it", probably a lot would do that, and the frequently requested feature of a Lichess TV chat would also be not necessary any more, since way more spectators would watch it as a single game. Lichess TV would only be a kind of "realtime link" to where the crowd is gathering right now.
