  • Youtube really fucked up.

  • Now random people won't add you. It's a good thing.

  • I still have 172 neglected friend requests.

  • 2:00 holy shit you have many notifications

  • dude I do not know why people hate you. Your awesome. I found out about you one the video about annoying youtube channels with mues and that other dumb bitch that i cant remember her name ( sorry). Ive seen your videos before. But nw Im subscribing because these are my true opinions and your telling exactly what I want to say. Thanks.

  • Well, why did we have to spend all that time adding them in the first place? I suppose if you really cared about numbers you could just Photoshop a background with nothing but bogus friend and subscriber lists.... whatever.

  • lol at the intro

  • Youtube removed the friends list? I even didn't notice till I saw the title of this video.

  • Archfiend, I think the deleting accounts rumor is true. Reason I say this is my sub count has been around 1025 for a good while now but according to my e-mail, I am getting new subscriptions. Plus alot of my friends have said the same is happening to them so I'd have to say I think its true.

  • I WANT THAT SHIRT!!!!

  • Contacts? You mean contact suggestions? That isn't a friends list, that's a message box. You get to that by clicking inbox. I won't go there with it not changing anything. How much did youtube pay you for damage control? lol

  • He doesnt care because he has NO FRIENDS

    >:{

  • Comment removed

  • The only thing I was surprised about in regards to them removing the friends list is the fact that they didn't remove it sooner.

  • Well, sending him messages about this kinda failed.

  • Hello everyone, this is the Archfiendhe.

  • Yeah, I noticed that, it's fuckin annoying.... I reported it (Send Feedback)

  • friend lock - to prevent random people from PM-ing you*

  • One reason could be, you actually have real friends on here that care less about what your videos are but you rather them be "friends" not "contacts" because they're friends not just your weed contact. Subscriptions are more like your contact, you're connected to their videos.

    You can also have it so non friends from PM-ing you.

  • didnt used to be like this in 05

  • @CatchingMoonlight

    In the old days, you use to subscribe to someone when you wanted to see when their new videos came out. You added someone as a friend to see what they favorited, commented, and rated on.

    Now you can see all that by subscribing, so adding friends is pointless.

  • If you really need an explanation. Much of it has to do with the time involved in building those friends lists and another issue is that some actually used the friends list to contact or keep tabs on people which is better done with subscriptions but yt chose the friends feature not us. Maybe a wiser choice on yt part may have been to convert the friends to mutual subscriptions.

  • id take subs over youtube "friends" thy dnt do shit

  • The contact list does'nt work, I lost 5,250 friends YT last week. There's no way of contacting any of these any more(I've tried, no response), they have all gone, period! YT is heading for changes & payments. The YT is unsafe as most information is hidden from view & has to be carefully searched for. No Video can ever go viral again.When you click on a video it takes you away from your page. Only big users paying agents to find subs will progress on YT. Everyone has lost, YT is finished, RIP.

  • And you have a shit ton in your inbox

  • Comment removed

  • The reason I was pissed was because I like the things the people that friended me put. And now I don't have a quick link to them. Then again I could just subscribe....

  • Ok now talk about how Youtube FUCKING FUCKED THE CHANNEL PAGES!

  • I have the same thoughts, people add me to friends and I have no clue why...

  • Just when I got used to the new layout, they changed it :/

  • I see what you're saying in that not having a displayed friends list really isn't going to impact anything in terms of our viewing videos, but if someone is using this "Cosmic Panda" (I think that's its name) channel layout there doesn't seem to be any way to add them as a contact (although this could change). I think there ought to be some way to add them. Adding contacts is useful in some ways. It allows users to (if preferred) allow only contacts to comment, send pms, etc.

  • i don't really give a shit. I didn't even know any of my "friends" on youtube. They just spammed the shit out of the homepage.

  • Did you hear about RWJ getting banned for like 2 hours and then being brought back?

  • I haven't looked at my channel in years, so I couldn't give a fuck two ways.

  • they did? did´nt even notice it....i never used it if anything it pissed me off when some ass holes bot spams me

  • LOL when will yout... ahh fuck it, keep changing shit maybe that will get rid of the dumb kids that are the majority on this site nowadays.

    OMG FRIENDLIST GONE... does any mature person give a fuck???

  • I wonder how many subscribers you'll loose when they close down those ghost accounts. You know since you seem to have quite a few of those subscribed to you.

  • I get what you are saying with friends lists, I still think they are a nice feature. One thing I do think is that youtube is basically a social networking site like facebook, so many people do use youtube just like facebook. I agree with the ghost accounts being rid of on here soon. Doesn't make sense having them on here. It wastes resources that youtube's servers run on. It shouldn't be anyone's business of who someone is subbed or friend to on here anyway accept for the individual youtuber.

  • Yeah, The friend list was no big deal, it's the same with the "your reaction" button xD Thank Goodness that is gone.

  • its me arch i sent you a contact suggestion , i got suspended for uploading a video showing my man boobs youtube thought they was womens boobs

  • he probably lost like a couple thousand subscribers with this video.

  • @vagazzler

    Yeah that makes sense.

  • @TheArchfiend cant tell if your agreeing with me or just being a smart-ass.

  • @TheArchfiend Actually, I get a huge amount of PM's from people complaining that I am one of the ONLY friends with a youtuber named Ulillillia, and everyone is up against me now, glad its gone XD.

  • @vagazzler And some friends?

  • So happy that archie is here <3

  • It's like how people who hate Cena continued to bitch about him, knowing that he's still not going for the WWE title.

  • Wow. People complained about that?

  • Believe it when you see it? Feel free too see it now! They've removed TONS already. Try it dude YouTube(dot)com/(random word/name). After watching this video, I feel behind with my YouTube career. @PogieJoe opened my eyes a bit with his comment about how he promotes his channel by adding others as friends as promotion. Man I look back at all the epic features YouTube used to have I could of used to my advantage. I should use the ones that are still left while I can:\

  • youtube's layout isnt even that bad. lol stop bitching about everything people.

  • I love the opening xD

  • I don't know why but the "Archie is here to walk you through" made me snicker.

  • lmao at the opening

  • lerooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooy jenkins!

    

  • OOHHHNOOO YouTube is GAY! *cries like a little bitch* I WANT MY FRIENDS LIST BACK! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT! Get real, you fucking retarted idiots. I agree with Archfiend.

  • How am I supposed to know who my friends really are if Youtube doesn't tell me?!?! Rage!... Oh well, I'm not that worried. There is still Facebook to tell me who my REAL friends are. :P

  • I was upset about it because it was easier to view a persons video .You know if I didnt remember a name or something because most times i will just see a video I like and friend or subscrib to .

    You've been on youtube awhile People that are still new or made a friend right before that certain change probably wont rember what that persons username is .

  • That's one epic shirt my friend.

  • My accounts got wiped already :( well my flagging days are over

  • i didn't know there was even a friendlist until i saw this video.=P

  • Private videos.

    Duuuuaarrgh

  • I want his shirt !

  • I agree with you Arch, the Friends list really didn't do anything and I won't miss it.

  • Meh, I really don't care either way.

  • i deleted all my friend a long time ago because I was tired of getting their stuff on my homepage

  • Boycott YOU TUBE December 16th - one day in December will hurt, two days would be even better

  • I wish they'd just get rid of the whole thing. The only reason I could see why YouTube had this service was to compete with MySpace. It's just another bothersome thing I see in my inbox. It doesn't serve any functionality. The only people who seem to use it are those desperate to to get you to look at their channel. The only thing I've ever done is ignore the invites. Google should just get rid of it all, quickly.

  • are you going to make a video about channels such as meganspeaks, thereplygirlsreviews, and lauradefined (formerly lauraspeaks until yt killed her retarded partnership)? Basically, re: channels THAT ARE PARTNERS! Don't get me wrong, their videos are still shit, but they all have something in common, BOOBS! So basically youtube promotes girls sticking their boobs in the camera, babbling, and having 5 accounts each with their own partnerships and crap.

  • it's pretty simple, people don't like it when yt changes it's features in the hope that it'll be attractive and therefore can make more money instead of worrying about the user's happiness. that's is why yt users are upset....changing something for money but not for user friendliness.

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not the friend list, I totaly didnt use it anyway.

  • dont update to nothing, i still got them

  • @SpeedManiac1976

    oh i just noticed, indeed, why in godsname did they do that ???

    well at least subscriptions and all still works, so just do subscriptions instead of friends then problem fixed

  • I think the reason for the anger/upset is because it's a site called YouTube that is making changes that don't benefit You and that You didn't ask for.  I'm just tired of them doing shit that makes the site less and less navigable/usable. I refer to it as TheirTube now because they care about one thing and one thing only.

  • the intro was great ^^

    I think the role the friendslist served is that you find those you are friends with and find their channels. Now if i wanted to find a friend on youtube i cant anymore cause that list or any other list is gone. I'm speaking for those who had like for example 20 friends. For those who had 30000 friends then they have nothing to complain about cause its not like they were going to visit their friends channels anyways.

  • I had a 1000+ friends.

    Fuck. U.U

  • I was kinda mad, it was like a less interested subscriptions section where I was interested in the people but they either didn't have a lot of uploads or I wasn't interested enough to subscribe. Thank you for showing me that it's now called "contacts" and that the list is still around.

  • That shirt makes me laugh.

  • I honestly hated youtube friends. If you wanted to be a friend? Sub the person. Otherwise wtf does it mater? All it did was remove a useless feature to see bulletins.

  • Haha wait... There are people who are bothered by this?

    Friends lists. Who needs em?

  • Friends lists were pointless and stupid. People just added you for advertising their own channel.

  • It's youtube related so why wouldn't they ask for your opinion?

  • the only people upset are the ones who stalk peoples friends lists.. thats my opinion.

  • Make a brony vid?

    ....

    No.

  • I used "Add as a Friend" as a bit of a promotion tool. It was a way to nudge someone to your channel without spamming and shouting "LOOKATME!!!"

  • @PogieJoe You can still add friends if they have the old channel design!

  • Best intro yet!

  • People are tired of YouTube constantly changing things and even removing features.

  • they got it out?...i didn't even notice it...

  • They better not delete all the stagnant accounts. My buddy Bores's sub count would drop 30,000. :/

  • 99% of the people that friend others are bots that use it to spam their shitty videos...I don't see the problem with removing it.

  • hey arch have you ever played uncharted? any of them?

  • Friends lists got continuously more pointless, and now I've seen that YouTube was trying to phase it out. Thank you YouTube.

  • Please tell me where you got that shirt Arch, I want one =)

  • if they get rid of stagnat accounts... my troll(hundreds of channels) will die

  • seriously youtube... just fuck you... i mean it... fucking fuck you, you fucking fuckers

  • Forever alone....

  • I have to agree... I also did not notice and wouldn't have if not for Archfiend.

  • nice way to redeem yourself after your crappy YouTube homepage rant

  • Most of the friend requests i got were from wannabe musicians (like SEVENTEENCINEMA said) or little kids doing skits. Dont really care too much.

  • I know this channel where one of his friends was a hooker with a big butt on her background in her channel. Well now it's gone and I didn't write the name down cause I was expecting the link on the friends list to be there! STUPID YOUTUBE!

  • So much for wannabe musicians sending random friend requests...what a heartbreaker...

  • @SEVENTEENCINEMA LOL yeah!! i get like 5 a week.

  • I never noticed or really used it anyway...

  • What was the purpose of the friends list anyway?

  • Youtube had a friends list?

    After all these years I have not once used it. I really don't give to shits about it.

  • @secondghost *two

  • @JimmytheCommunist

    Awesome, thanks random YouTube grammar Nazi. I can now sleep better tonight knowing you fixed a simple typo I made. You do a great service to mankind fixing the world one typo at a time. Somebody should make a statue in your memory and then dress it with rose pedals. The plaque at the bottom should read: "In loving memory of random YouTube grammar Nazi #3745. You have bestowed a better knowledge and wisdom for the peoples of this earth and we thank you."

  • Who really keeps track of as many as hundreds of friends anyway? If you do, you have a lot of time on your hands.

  • So we all have no friends now? hahahhahahahahahahahhahahahaha­hahahaah

  • omg I have no friends now! Ahhhhh!!

  • Dude, where the fuck did you get that tshirt? Seriously, I want one so bad...

  • Your shirt.

    Do want.

  • If they're a friend I subscribe to them. Simple. Glad it's gone.

  • @RorizonHadar

    Exactly. No point in having both lists when you can just subscribe to them.

  • no more friends list?

    /foreveralone

  • Get on IGSRJ and make him do more videos.

  • I agree the friends list has no point

  • FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UU

  • Hi Leroy... oooooy

  • Way I see it you don't need no friends list having them wasn't a problem it wasn't bad I admit but seriously who out of all you guys needs it to use YouTube if you really want friends apart from going out in the real world and meeting them just use Facebook or some shit

  • Friendslist - I found many good channels, because I got an invitation. If you have friends, your channel is on their page, others find your channel and your videos get more views, they also subscribe to your channel. If there is no such thing as friendslist, you get crapload of spam PMs and spammers also going to spam your channel's comment box too. There was another option, "only friends can PM me". If there is no friends list, spammers PM you.

  • I honestly didn't even know it was gone until I saw this.

  • Shut up about CorpTube and start telling your fans to follow your rants on BlipTV, DM, Veoh or something. You have loyal fans, they might give sites that aren't sellouts a chance. But nooooo, YT users are freaking masochists. Stop being carried away by the corporate mainstream and go somewhere where google hasn't targeted for termination.

  • The Friends List saved my life! That's what it did for me.

  • My friend's list was the handful of people (about a dozen) that reached out to me on numerous occasions, interacted with me, and made content that I truly loved. It was not a list made for others to see, but it was something I enjoyed for myself. It was list of people on this website whom I trusted implicitly.

    It's like the "about me" (which will be the next feature to go). It's a feature each individual benefits from in their own way, rather than the collective hivemind.

    I'm sad to see it go.

  • @abjuron But you still have those people added. It's not like those people disapeared from you for ever.

  • so.. this means i don't have any friends anymore ;_____; *forever alone

  • People only added people so they could spam others with the share button.

  • They are wiping out the accounts that remain unused as in the user doesn't upload videos they only comment on videos, or the user doesn't comment or upload videos?

  • oh no if they remove people who havent logged on for a long time then so many videos on youtube will be gone and if that happens thats it im done with youtube and i hope that the creators can burn in hell if there is a hell

  • @Wasserrauschen I wouldn't be surprised if that were true! :)

  • Nice shirt Arch other than that a video I guess you had no choice but to make personally I hate the friends option all together I just need the channels I'm subbed to and thats all

  • I guess people enjoy your videos, and wanted to watch you rant about something. I don't think they're that upset.

  • so how bad does the other guy look? lol:)

  • Yea I don't understand why people got angry about this

  • *destructive hug*

  • Please I think the most important point I would make about this video, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SHIRT

  • nooooooooooooo i had like 100 or something

  • Removing users who havent uploaded for a long time? That sounds like a bad idea. Funny lol videos that have millions of views will die! NAO!

  • I am happy that the freinds list is gone, it was pointless and stupid.

  • I think its good they got rid of friends list personally, as many people used that instead of subscribers. If you like someone's videos and/or if you are their friend, you should SUBSCRIBE to them, not FRIEND them. I know someone in particular that had about 200+ friends but only subscribed to a few channels, and almost all of them were channels that didnt need any more subscribers (more than most) but his friends with only a few dozen, hundred, or thousand subs, didnt subscribe to any of them.

  • The Archfiend is sexy

  • do you have a black eye?

  • @blake3one6

    I said the same exact thing when I watched this video back. It's just the lighting and a shadow. I don't get why it would be different this time as I am sitting in the same spot and using the same amount of lighting. Oh well.

  • At least he still has chicken

  • The only way friends list are useful is because it's like being mutually subscribed to somebody unlike subscriptions which work one way. It's useful to little channels more.

  • god dammit leeroy...

  • I still get video and comment updates from my added friends... They must be listed somewhere.

  • What I don't get is that why do they give us the option to have Contacts, but then completely do nothing to show them or do anything with them. I did like the friends with to see people I didn't want to sub to, but want to see vids they like.

    And I heard about the account purging as well. I heard it was going to happen on the 12th. If they do do it, I applaud them. If they do it and leave the accounts subbed to the top whores, I won't be surprised.

  • no disrespect or anything but are you a jew archfiend - (the headgear)

  • @TheSmegOps no he's just ugly.

  • @CUNTMUTILATOR i just had a closer look and its a cap baseball cap i think

  • ya i couldnt give 2 shits bout my friends list

  • There's severe functionality lost. A lot of my friends I talk to through YouTube, and now scrolling through them is a major pain. Instead of seeing their icons, you see their names in a long list (which is a major thing to sort through when you have over 200 friends-I-mean-contacts).

  • @CUNTMUTILATOR hey not to rude but your really boring have little rights to crap about someone you know little about.

    great comment tho :)

  • @Chris6570 you know what else is boring? videos of someone playing really shitty old video games with shitty music in the background.

  • @CUNTMUTILATOR wow you went to my channel to define me i make those videos out of bordom its you choice to watch them or not dumbass >_>

    now to block you before troll me too

  • The friends list is completely pointless. But I don't see why people hate the new layout - it's far superior to that horrible excuse for an interface they had before. The "full" Cosmic Panda was a bit of a nightmare, though. Slow, Confusing to navigate and ugly.

  • youtube is becoming ridiculous! whenever we comment on a video or Like a video, all of our subscribers can see it on their homepage! wtf that is a major invasion of privacy and i hope more people will notice this and tell youtube to remove it. i cant even disagree or hate on anything now cause i'm afraid my subscribers will frikin attack me and un-sub,(on my main account)

  • @jammy2600 you can disable all of that stuff by clicking the top right and select settings then sharing. I think they should be disabled by default and youtube ask if we want to enable it, not the other way around, but it can totally be disabled if you choose.

  • The intro had me dying. xD

  • honestly i was expecting the entire video to be nothing but the ten seconds intros people have sent you and then the last 2 seconds would be "u mad"

  • This will greatly hinder my search for vampire porn!!! Its useless get rid of it.

  • What a gay shirt

  • i cryed when i seen my freinds list gone it was like a cake thats been eaten my mind is now destroyed lmfeo

  • best intro ever!

  • Comment removed

  • I am personly glad that they got rid of the friends list... getting spammed with so many F requestst every time I log into youtube -.-
