[jorrogboe]

fucking corrupt bastards. always changing. i liked the friends list, but that gone. march is going to suck since that is when the new design will be permanent >:O

[TheCuriouskid16]

yea i highly agree! the new channel layout sucks!

[davycrocketful]

youtube..listen to us all please..dont do it!!!!!! dont do it!!!!

[misscrazyapples]

I HATE IT SOOOOOOO MUCH I CANT EVEN POST COMMENTS ON MY OWN PAGE (

[FireRockzy]

All channels will be updated to the new design on March 7th 2012. -_-

[oshawottmijumaru12]

Here is my review of the new layout:

It sucks.

[RabidDog22]

I love everything abou the new layout EXCEPT the channel.

At what point did they think it was a good idea to take away the option to add people as a friend? Or the box showing who im subscribed to? And the box showing my subscribers? And a prober video viewer on the channel?

Google must have just a bunch of monkeys in a room and see what they decide.

[CrashBandicootNo1]

Actually, if they just made the damn layout background transparent, i'd be A-OK with it, but this new cluster-fuck format defeats the purpose of a background altogether

[CrashBandicootNo1]

It sucks ass, enough said. . . well the layout does, the analytics is neat.

[devinboy9]

dont forget the new youtube related videos list >>>>>>>>>>>>>> i hate the new youtube channel page it only shows single file videos on what your doing it is not organized and at the top it only shows ur name ur subsribers,views and you cant find chanell comments and dont know what the person is about its dumb.

[DarkSignal59]

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND OR FIND ANYTHING ON THE NEW DAMN LAYOUT!!! ;__;

[iBerserkTV]

I like the homepage and everything. I had to grow into it. The only major problems I seek are the channel layout and the new video manager. It looks SHIT! Most likely the new channel layout.

[RealDesktops]

ON MARCH 1ST EVERY BODY'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL WILL HAVE THE NEW LAYOUT!!!

[Pastry4prez]

@RealDesktops Hooray!

[sweetz4ever7]

i hate the new layout thumbs up if u want to keep the old one!!!!

[CODWarfare12]

The new youtube layout is retarded. Keep the new layout youtube.

[xDeRyAxBx]

on firefox when i go on Youtube it's the old old design :D but on Internet Explorer it'z the new ugly shitty layout wtf

[xDeRyAxBx]

YT's changin all the channel'z 2 da new ugly shitty layout in march 1st .. >____>

[fede142857]

And everytime I watch a video with unexpected advertisements, or if I go to "View all comments" on any video, the new layout crashes my web browser. And I have 4GB of RAM.

[fede142857]

"I know this. I will be forced to change to the new layout eventually (...) They give you the illusion, that you will be fine"

They forced me to stay with the new look (by now only in the History section of the Video Manager) and there is no return button anymore.

[pacman13434]

Thank god i am finally hearing other channels starting to bitch!!!! we are getting so screwed big time out of the new move! it will be a challenge just to navigate ur own channel, let alone with other channels, this is just F#@%*&~ great! so bummed out over this i may close. yes, it is or was a privilege to have a channel on air with YT. just think, of all the time spent building ur channel and page??? WOW!!!!! this sucks. ;( (<

[DanQ8000]

@pacman13434 Im not looking forward to the change either. And as I said before, we are being forced into it. I'm going to have to change my whole channel layout.

[EarlERizer73]

The new layout is shit,the 'suggested' contacts is shit, I'll decide who I want to make contact with I've been getting along fine thus far! Google are trying to turn the place into Youbook or Facetube or some other rubbish,fixing things that aren't broke,it's all a load of bollocks,watch the exodus come March 1st ,the name remains but this is no longer 'YouTube' as it was intended to be! Fucking sellouts!

[mcna1mcna1]

Hate the new channel layout and the front screen :o(

If they force me to use it me and alot of my friends will close our accounts.

I hope You Tube Llisten???

[Geomyfighter]

No1 even likes it and they still want to force it wtf.

[welcome159ify]

We're all gonna have it by March!!! >:( Fuck the new layout!!!

[Lingyaokitty]

This ne layout is horribal...I hate how they're making you have it by March...D:<

They should let us have the choice to keep the old one. ; _ ;`

GAAHH YOUTUBE, DON'T CHANGE!!! Dx WE ALL LIKE THE OLD DESIGN ! ! ! !

[georgiagoesglam]

You have to have the new design as of March 2011, why? It's so stupid and uncreative, I actually hate it :/

[BLYFACTOR]

GAY LAYOUT CHANGE

[EmperorXaozx]

March 1st they'll automatically update it. It's now a lost cause, since they worry about lining their own pockets instead of helping our satisfaction. It's like slavery in the 18th century. The slaves (us) have no voice and have to deal with horribly planned decisions aimed right at us while the maters (idiots running YouTube) reap from our displeasure and they know YouTube is loved by a lot of people. They won't grow a spine about stupid copyright of our issues. If only they'd listen...if only

[EarlERizer73]

@EmperorXaozx liking it to slavery is a bit much ffs , you have an option - close your channel, they'll soon realise they're losing out when channels keep closing, You Tube sold its soul to the devil Google and now he's tallying up! ...I like that suggestion above (ChrisFerretti) re: reporting a bug,surely if the thousands of users did that then GoogleTube would have to take notice.

[EmperorXaozx]

@EarlERizer73 What is ffs? I love using YouTube, but really?! For every person lost at least 5 dozen take their place.

[EarlERizer73]

@EmperorXaozx sorry , ffs is for fuck sake ...We all like using you tube,its why we're all here, what alot of us dont like is the forced changes,is I wanted something like this new layout I'd have opened a facebook or twitter account

[EmperorXaozx]

@EarlERizer73 Yet the idiot swarm is still there.

[EarlERizer73]

@EmperorXaozx like flies on shit

[EmperorXaozx]

@EarlERizer73 Well at least it's slightly better here, but not really.

[issenterprise1]

I HATE THE NEW LAYOUT IT IS A SHIT BAD YOU DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AGEN

[Bombertard]

I hate it! When I want to sort my watch later playlist by 'date uploaded' nothing happens!

[MarkP0rter]

what i hate the most: you can NOT X out stuff on the front page. so you have already watched a movie from the front page but it won't disappear.

i love how youtube ignores its users.

[TheKillyWilly]

NEW LAYOUT FUCKING SUCKS IT SUCKING FUCKS IT'S A PIECE OF SHIT AND I DON'T LIKE IT

[Ilkamy]

Please join and protest, send a feedback to YouTube.

Go on your new channel design; click in the bottom of the page: "report a bug". There you can write for example:

Please keep in the future the possibility to "switch back to the old channel design".

I want to keep my individual layout and my friends list.

Don't destroy the social networking and the diverse personal channel layouts!

Thanks.

* Before you send the message scroll up to the top of the page. (It's needed for the report screen shot.)

[ChrisFerretti]

@Ilkamy this is a great suggestion. I just clicked report a bug on my youtube channel and highlighted the problem (which is the new layout) and let youtube know that forcing its members to change to this layout whether they like it or not isn't right. Christ, what kind of gestapo shit is this? If we all take the time to do this we can hopefully give ourselves the option to keep our sites with the old look and not have to be FORCED to change come Mar 1st. Takes 2 secs. We should all do it

[epicdudenetwork]

When I change the original design. It doesn't let me change it back... And I always have to go way down to watch old videos and it takes forever!

[DanQ8000]

@epicdudenetwork you simply have to uninstall the script

[Owenmac2010Barra]

its as if theyre trying to make it more like a social network site(like facebook or twitter). i mean really, why change it when everyone is loving the layout?? seriosuly wtf youtube!?!?!?!?

[kattmirre]

youtube fail on this change! I hate the new layout. So many reasons i dont like it

[DrageonBudoKaiZ]

I hate for the purpose that it doesn't let you slide either. -_0

[KHero950]

I personally wants to newest layout back , mine has changed to the old one when I go to Youtube Homepage , can anyone tell me how ?

Thank You --

[the90sprince]

I'm sticking with the classic channel layout. If it isn't broke, don't fix it, though Google time and time again seem to think that it does.

[itachiitachi1946]

@the90sprince yo how do i go back to my older layout?its like some option appear and dissapear in utube.some of days i can change my layout and some i cant.do u have any idea about how to change it? i looked at help section of utube and says nothing usefull about that

[the90sprince]

@itachiitachi1946 You click on "edit channel" and then click on "change back to old layout"

[itachiitachi1946]

@the90sprince each time i click on edit channel utube says to me '' cant choose old layout''lol its like utube is trolling me.:D well..fuck that shit.after all utube is not important.thanks though for ur help

[TheKscoot]

Thumbs up if u hate this new youtube.

[IceTorchGaming]

Agreed with everything said in the vid, and subbed! xD

[FireTurkeyProduction]

How do you hide the favorites on your channel??

[2cool4uification]

Youtube keep changing for the worst. Now my videos does not have advance buffering. Video playback now depends on connection speed.

[jd3189]

The new layout is retarded.

[lifeofmyself]

lmao he said " they give u the illusion that u have choice"

[buck65100]

I stayed with my old channel look and the old video manager now ALL my video counts are frozen!!!! Am I being punished!!!! My top vid (FUNNY BULLDOG PLAYS DEAD) used to get 300~400 views a day now its stuck at 15,728....... I hate change!!!

[DanQ8000]

@buck65100 its not just you, everyones view counts are messed up. however, dont fret, you are getting credit for the views. it just takes longer for them to refresh

[itachiitachi1946]

@DanQ8000 hey how can i have my older utube layout? do u have any idea to tell me what i can do about that? nothing works lately on utube.il be w8ing 4r reply.thanks in regard

[belittle12]

How do you remove a video from your subscription box? I can remove recommended but not the sub box, say when i watch a video.

[DanQ8000]

@belittle12 you cant

[DeMumboJumbo]

KEEP THE ADD AS CONTACT OPTION ALIVE /watch?v=_z6SWHR8zMw

[dakingchaos]

How do you Add Friends?? and See your Comments on your Page

[AcousticInstruMan]

Can I add friends with the new layout? I've been looking for it for the whole day and haven't found anything.

[AoNoExcorcist]

@AcousticInstruMan i got the same problem xD

[AlexAndBuddies1]

i cant add friends anymore. only subscribe

[AlleyHicks]

it doesn't look a channel more like twitter or facebook? if it's our channel page i would like to design it. it looks messy, and very unattractive

[SnipeAndPipe]

It's interesting how they changed the comments back to the old way by default recently... Maybe they decided to finally listen to us.

[metamorphstorm]

I'm absolutely in love with YouTube; it's my entire music and video collection. BUT...the minute I can't use the "old" (last week's) version, I'm outta here. I get tired of all the changes sites make...I've already dropped five or six because of lame new layouts and I'll do it again...YouTube, I hope you're listening!!

[MyHeadHurts79]

THE SOLUTION

my channel > Edit Channel [button] > Switch back to the old channels design [button]

[SuperTime2Change]

Youtube isn't about YOU anymore. It's about the almighty $ and rear-end scratch and sniffing along with some back rubs. Youtube don't give a hell what we think. They never really have. Every time they make changes they claim the change is better for the users when the reality is it isn't. They make a change that is good to reflect the changes that are bad to keep users on Youtube. If this doesn't change this is the last straw and I will leave Youtube for good and find another alternative.

[MyHeadHurts79]

@SuperTime2Change Agreed! Many of the changes made previously--such as hiding the thumb up/down buttons of comments--have been designed to make things less cluttered. Moving the cursor over comments to get the buttons to appear was annoying initially, but I could SORTA see the logic behind less clutter. But the BS changes recently made to the channels...spreading everything the hell out all over the place...WORTHLESS! As long as there is still that "switch back" button, I'll use the old layout!

[IkKenKenneth]

how do you pm people

[hackers208]

i agree with TLPat47 im sending a feed back  (bad) the new you tube does not show your background on your channel and you cant see your friends and they have copying of facebok

[TLPat47]

It looks stupid because they are copying off Facebook. As you said this is video sharing site, they do have Google plus for social networking. Just don't make it complicated. It is a mess now. I am sending my feedback.

[annmoses92]

Yes, my friend you shard some real true thoughts about the new layout. I agree with you I don't like the front page (dashboard if you will) It is way to cluttered. and it is a mess. I don't find the new lay out user friendly.

[Blackops272]

i cant even do shit with this new layout i dont even know how to acess my channel comments :(

[1marcelfilms]

well ITS GONE!!! HAHAHA

ITS GONE I DONJ'T HAVE IT

[irontail23]

How do you see your friends/subscriptions, subscriptions?

[DanQ8000]

@irontail23 i believe you have to make sure "subscriptions only" is unchecked. although that makes in even more un organized.

[SecretKnocks]

New layout sucks... nwo

[potrebnifukec]

everytime when they change something it's for the worse. why fix things that aren't broken???

[thebighat99]

Its mist up but I don't think they will change it they don't care.

[IIKroNiKk307]

9:51 Typing with one hand? someones jerking off..

[DanQ8000]

@IIKroNiKk307 mic stand wasnt working, i was holding the mic haha

[IIKroNiKk307]

@DanQ8000 Oh, lol nice video by the way. It is pretty descriptive

[welcome159ify]

I hate how they took away my friends list. Now instead of "Friends" they are considered "contacts". Anyway, the new layout sucks monkey balls.

[itsjaytv]

I hate the new layout it's so confusing and not easy to use, but oh well.

[ChaoticCrimsonDBZ]

Clicks"Send Feedback"

"New layout's bayd....m'kay?....change it back....layout's bayd..m'kay"

[zzepron]

Absolutely hate the new layout - I am considering packing it in to be honest

[GentlemanGoodFucker]

New layout is incredibly ugly!

[Luffy0123456789]

FUCKING YOUTUBE CAN SUCK MY NUTS

[1488bill]

Join the boycott Fri Dec 16

[QUITCALLINGME]

i just reset my computer to a save i had on a later date cuz i had a virus and then i come back and now i have the old layout again! :D

[Boughtone]

The new layout sucks ass!!!!!

[birdsterboss]

11:00 - 11:10 spot on. Stop copying everything-facebook you plagiarizing witless google clowns. This is a video sharing site, not a social networking site. And stop trying to make yourselves sound smart with words and phrases like "Video Manager" instead of the user-friendly "My Videos", or "Analytics" vs user-friendly "Insight". Also, you shouldn't be removing the fun-factor in user-customization features in user channel pages. Put your bubbly receptionist in charge of creativity u drones

[birdsterboss]

I'm guessing its some google management team going around exerting their uncreative power upon (in other words bitch slapping) creative old school Youtube designers with a brain. The removal of these features make these changes very hard to accept:

1. In-channel video player. Having to open every damn video in a separate tab is a waste of time

2. Friends replaced with useless "Contacts"

3. Imposing 1000 char limit, & removing URL link ability, in the "About Me" et al sections.

[FeignofCordor]

I can`t stand the new page layout it`s not personalised and it looks total crap. I still have the old layout and I don`t want to lose my personal touch.

There is a organised 24 hour logout tomorrow the 16th Dec

[LucarioDXAuraStorm]

Dear YouTube (Knowingly you all aren't gonna read this cuz ya'll dont wanna hear our feedbacks for reasons unknown)

Why dont you guys just allow us to choose between the Classic (Fist Youtube layout), the Beta (The one we have now) or this new crappy one (Our lame future one) and change at anytime we want. Theres no friend list, no subscriber list, not subscription list, i can't see my wallpaper, no tranparancy through the colors. Why?

[Chakdegirl]

Earlier I used to see the videos uploaded by the subscriptions in a single row, now its like a single column...sucks !!!

[xanderblare]

were are the favorites? can someone tell me were they can be found now? this new layout out is confusing me.

[THEHRHOFTIME]

@xanderblare have you found them yet cuz I'm still looking...

[McMafia2092]

I AM GOING TO EAT YOUR FIRST BORN CHILD!

[OmegaBlizzardPs3]

i dont even have my friends list any more they need to change back to the previous one.

[NeroIzinski]

who says things could change for the better?

[QWILDER]

Change... is bad... I have not you tube contacts / friends

.. they're lost... gone.. :-((

[Megamadsta]

Does anyone actually like the new youtube layout? Theres not even a friends list now, just contacts. And you can't view subscribers. Its just so unclear! Everyone should keep the old one. It just makes life EASY!

[AKOthePERSIANkiller]

OLDSCOOL IS THE BEST LAYOUT

[ZOSOrulz1]

@StormReplies2 THOSE BITCHES!

[cristoretornebiblia]

COMMENTS are slow when you type how come since they changed their layout?

[wallstreetyoung]

I miss the 2007/2008 Youtube.

[IluvEdKemper]

This new lay-out sucks!! Again, someone in the office needs to justify their job and save their position from downsizing. A year or two from now, someone will have to find yet another annoying design. You can go back to the old design, but for how long?....

[Muskateering]

How come yours is white? Mine's a horrible slate grey.

[gavanjezusafkees]

annoying layout seriously google wtf ?!

[ccaian1]

WTF??

People used to complain that we could only see the new videos that were uploaded in order of the uploader, but now this idiot wants it back???!!!

[majalovemj]

We want the old layout back!

[SkyRifter]

I KNOW WHY THEY DID THIS TOO THE LAYOUT!!

They THINK The Whole World Has i-Phones- That's why!

THEY/WE Don't Not all us.*

[Messalina345]

Analytics SUCKS!!! There used to be INSIGHT and it was much better! Now lots of information is missing!

[MrBoomSonic]

the new design looks like for iphone rather than for PC or computer....

[par2765]

I  don't like the new fucking youtube Layout !!!!!!!!!!!!

[WafflezDay]

Why do they ask us what we think of the new layout when they aren't going to change it anyway?

[dymondusic]

i also hate the new youtube.

[toofazedonez]

Its like myspace all over again.

[Alfred123881]

ugh i hate this layout.

Youtube, can u please stop changing the layout?! It only makes it shittier and shittier.

[DanQ8000]

@Alfred123881 check my latest video. I show how to get the old one back

[cfeirl]

@Alfred123881 just go to where it says edit profile and click on the one to get your old layout back

[longhornslick97]

@Alfred123881 I agree if you want watch a video then you leave there page then you have to go back.

[kokoame]

Yeah I don't like it. As for the channel layout, I notice they don't give you the option of changing the colors in your channel page. Which I don't like.  I like the previous look and change my page back to it. If they make changes that are better (which may or may not happen) then I might accept a new look. Yeah and the layouts don't work either just to cluttered and confusing.

[iggy082]

i hope whoever designed the new layout gets projectile diarrhea.

[GunnyZoSo]

THE LAYOUT IS FUCKING LAME, FUCK YOU GOOGLE

[97zeroordie]

i hate the new youtube

[PeacefulRaindrops]

I can't find the "add friend" option. I can't even find my friends list. A very annoying layout. Maybe YouTube got too much bad feedback about this annoying layout and they might consider returning the old layout. I hope they return the old one.

[DPMParkour]

Dear YouTube designers,

YouTube is NOT Facebook! Stop trying to make it like FB!

-Every Fricken' Person on Earth

[dutchmcgee101]

this layout sucks. i go to look at different videos and some of them are off screen to where u can't see them.

[7ankss]

by the way I am so mad, that I am searching how to delete some of my favrt videos.

[7ankss]

Earlier was so much better.

One channel latest uploaded videos were together, so if someone is uploading in parts, it was so easy to get onto it.

Now I will find second part maybe after scrolling 25 videos, and it will make me mad.

Probably we will have to subscribe less, only to some useful channels..

Sorry , but uploaders and channel owners will suffer the most.

Now every channel is asking, --> PLEASE PIN OUR CHANNEL...lol

[HappyIsAGoodThing]

ummm guys...i lost my Friends list. Where is it? I used to just click on them on My Channel and go to their page and check their vids, see if they'd watched anything I'd like, keep in touch and NOW, where are they?

Help :(

[Imfortysomething]

@HappyIsAGoodThing My friendlist is gone too, I think YouTube don't allow us to have friends anymore...:(

[TragicFlows]

with this new homepage, i feel bad for the people subscribed to machinima

[KDavisJr86]

I can't even find any way to change the front page.

[titanicrul]

The only reason this does not make me so made is I always use iPad YouTube and the subs have always been the same and the subs list doesn't show all my subs usernames

[xatjames]

I hate the new channel its so rubbish

[braino1989]

how do you block some one on the new youtube ?!!!?!!?!?!?!

[Trisscarr]

Why is it this weird off white colour?

[HodgeYMusic]

Fuck google! I hate those guys, GO DIE!! PLEASE!

[2midtownmadness]

The thing I REALLY hate about the new front page is that a few of my subscriptions upload 2 or more videos per day. With the old layout it was fine - I could watch the one after another - but now with one column per video crap, I miss loads of his vids. And if they force us to use the new channel design, I am closing my account. Simple as.

[procommenter]

Yes, indeed: "What's up?"

[superamphoros12]

I HATE IT YOUTUBE MAKE IT GO BACK!!!!!!!!!
