The WORST DESIGN for YOUTUBE ever. I DESPISE IT, I DESPISE IT, I DESPISE IT. VERY confusing & UGLY AS HELL. Can't even have a nice picture for a background to TRULY CUSTOMIZE. & can't make the UGLY GRAY change to opaque as we did for the previous design. WHERE ARE MY FRIENDS CHANNEL FEATURES!!!!!!!! WHERE ARE MY SUBSCRIBERS for other people to see!!!!!
Recently now when a subscription finishes playing i get only 4 unassociated video suggestions, what is happening to youtube, are they trying to drive me away? I am not into looking at news about justin beaver
Yeah, the new format is a big FU to the users. But get it straight: the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" maxim does not apply here. The old format WAS broken in that it facilitated a synergistic free speech community for the people. THAT had to be fixed. Hence the design overhaul returning us to being isolated consumers rather than cooperative participants.
Its not broke Youtube Dont "fix" it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hate this new design and really?? I have no choice?? I might be done with the tube cause this dammit !
Dear Youtube Technitions and Meddlers, Why, THE HELL, do you feel the need to change the format around? Was there something wrong with the old format? I have an idea, why don't you let people who like the new layout use it, and let those of us you FRIGEN HATE the new layout use the old one?.. Is that to extreme of an idea? Thanks you kindly for not giving a DAMN what many of us want...
omfg why the hell change it? was there anyone complaining about the old style? i dont think so. damn i don't like my page at all looking like that -.-
Youtube belong to Google and there is a fight between Google and Apple. They are changing the format because many people is using iPad to navigate in YouTube and this device doesn't use de flash player which now is required to whatch videos in youtube
I just hate this layout. It is confusing Like you said I have to go all over the place looking for comments or videos, I just hate it... I clicked to see what it looked like, now I cant get out, I feel like a rat in a maze. My Page now looks like everyone else's....
I haven't heard from one person who likes these new layouts. They are bleak, austere, and I predict that Youtube will lose many of their members, due to these dictatorial changes. What is the point of remaining a member when your freedom of creative expression is gone? I also predict that another video-sharing community will soon emerge to replace this empire of fools.
Dutch, or anyone else... dont let this take us down... They want to try to shit on us with this " new " layout? screw them!.. Revolution can neither be made or stopped
well.. this isht went into effect.. its looks terrible on the main page.. cannot see through the background anymore.. just grey white and black.. used to be able to see the background image.. now half of it is totally blocked by the "function boxes".. this main chat NOT ALLOWED on main page?? wth?? its uber lame... I MEAN THIS REALLY SUCKS.. no offense to those who developed it.. obviously they don't use main chat, or care about images on the main page , and don't care about HUGE icons.. dumb!
@dutchsinse this is not an accident. its all a plan. all the major social networking sites have become(or have always been) intelligence gathering platforms- big brother any one?
@littlegirlj they don't care what it looks like OR our input: it's "like it or lump it" ! ... in many ways its A DOWNGRADE from being convenient and inter-active. ... I think probably 80 to 90% of users do NOT like this "new format".
@lenbenhear NO. ITS NOT... not 80% its the 99%. The 1% are only new users who doesnt care of this... we need an app to see old channels! it would be not difficult, just download and extract some things on HTML file so replace it and show as old... i will try it because YT will do nothing on this...
They already know the old channel design is better, so there's no point repeating this. Reduced functionality is the whole purpose of the change. YouTube as a free-speech platform was getting out of hand, so they're making it less useful as an on-message news aggregation blog. A big hint is how visitors now must leave your channel page to watch videos you reference. Likewise, they're making it ugly, etc. Google is undoing a people-empowering oops and sending us back to better controlled sources.
and just now i read the message :07.03.2012 there will be no more old channel layout at all..no disrespect,but...is the youtube staff out of its minds?
You Tube screwed up big-time. The new channel is dysfunctional. And where's transparency so that your background can be seen, and colors so that you can customize the channel? Does it have that stuff??. Being able to customize the look of your channel is what makes it "You Tube" Now it's corporate tube.
COMPLETELY RUINING YOU TUBE!! THIS SEPARATES US! I LOGGED IN ONE DAY TO FIND THAT OVER 800+ FRIEND 'S WERE DELETED BY YOU TUBE! WITHOUT AN OPTION FOR THE NEW DESIGN MOST OF US ARE LEAVING, YOUTUBE NOW HAS NO BIO ABOUT US..NOTHING-RUINING THE WAY WE KEPT IN TOUCH -YOU TUBE THINKS ITS FACEBOOK NOW! THANKS GOOGLE PLUS FOR RUINING ARTISTIC FREEDOM!! THANKS FOR NOTHING!!!!
@freedom2beus NO DOUBT YOU TUBE WILL DELETE MY COMMENTS AS THEY HAVE IN THE PAST SO WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER? BECAUSE " ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE US A CHANCE" THAT AND PEACE!
So as someone who runs a channel my goal is to keep people on my channel so they watch my videos and my content. This new version has the goal of moving people away from my channel and You Tube is trying to prevent channels from hoarding viewers.
Have you noticed that when someone clicks on one of your videos shown below your main viewing window it takes them to that video and away from your channel? Your other videos no longer play in the main window. It's a big FU to those with channels.
@cbradiomagazine - Also how crappy is it that to even see my other videos people have to scroll down so they can no longer see the video they are watching? This is one of the most popular features of the old style.
Along with my other 50 complaints about the new layout all I can say is that You Tube is making a "Netflix" type mistake here that is going to piss off everyone and they are going to have to backtrack quickly once they make the new style mandatory in March. Watch out!
I've made complaints to Youtube personally about forcing this, but they don't seem to care. We don't mean anything to them, we are just dollar signs to them. FUCK YOUTUBE. Soon as this new channel design is forced down my throat, I'm going to jump ship and find a new video sharing site.
old channel: everything in one page and lets you watch the videos there without going to another page and you scroll the videos there without scrolling the whole page, comments are below and you click post comment and it appears automatically
new channel: click here click there click click, you post a comment and have to click view all comments in order to view your own comment, you click a video and it takes you to another page, have to scroll all the way down to find the video you want
IT IS FUCKING GAY, I CAN'T CHANGE WHAT PAGE THE COMMENTS ARE ON OMFG FUCK YOU GOOGLE PEACE OF SHIT. IT IS SO FUCKING GAY YOUTUBE WAS FINE NOW IT'S GAYER!
..and where is the info about the channel owner? It's great to see where they are from, what they are about, how long they have been a YT subscriber, etc., etc... All the info that makes this about people connecting with people seems to be gone... boo you tube!
Another change to the format of the "browse" page today. It gets worse with every "upgrade". I really wish that when an "upgrade" was released, we had an option to view youtube in some sort of "classic" mode. The site worked perfect when it was bought by Google. No changes were needed to the UI. Please stop "improving" the site. Please.
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW TO DISPLAY A VIDEO ON THE NEW CHANNEL DESIGN SO WHEN SOMEBODY CLICKS ON YOUR CHANNEL THE VIDEO IS AUTOMATICALLY PLAYING......someone help me.
@1viciousguy i TRY FOR A WEEK TO FIND A WAY TO DISPLAY AND AUTOMATIC PLAY MY VIDeo It was too nice gesture to have that Youtube destroy It His new concept sucks. Why when everything works fine Youtube has to destroy it
When Rupert Murdoch bought Myspace he removed blogging rankings and categories so that blogging was destroyed. THAT is why YOUTUBE is being changed. Alternative info is under attack from the media monopolists. They do not buy out Myspace to profit from it. They buy it to destroy both competition and alternative sourced info.
If Murdoch says the sky is green, all media MUST agree.
plus with this new layout it makes the background looks bad i wont even see my background anymore if this comes out they needs transparency option for it again or is it going to be like we dont care what you guys say your not a youtube partner thing again it shore sounds like there saying that behind are backs
I can't believe they're forcing this on us. Youtube channels had a sense of personalization to them. You could re-arrange the look of your channel, the colour scheme, and decide what showed, what didn't and how many things you actually wanted up.
This new format is awful, boring, and makes everyone's page look identical. 4 templates to choose from - 3 of which are completely useless. Hidden channel comments, and having to switch between confusing tabs to check in on things is ridiculous.
The new design is the biggest crap. Every channel will look the same - boring white! And what's the point of tiny grey font that is hardly readable on white? And who needs these huge thumbnails that are just a waste of space (you have to scroll down forever!). The navigation is sooo impractical and you can't see friends, subscribers nor subscriptions anymore!!! It's all hideous AND totally useless!
The old look had the channel comments right on the main page. You don't have to find them. This is a big drawback. It is so nice to see comments right there. This is what interactive media should be all about. The new format makes it less interactive. So whose needs are being met by this change? Is there a youtube mailing address where these comments can also be addressed? Will you forward these comments to them?
I am having trouble wth the new format too. The old one allows one to find what they want to get into at a glance. I am used to it. The new one is tricky because it has the features on multiple tabs, and it takes a few clicks to search. It would be nice if we could have a choice bettween formats, instead of being forced into the new one next March. BTW That is a cool wallpaper. Mine is pretty boring now, but I think I can fix it.
I really dislike the new design because ithe comments people leave are not shown on main page and my background pic has to be so small in order to see it. Is there a way of making the channel BG bigger?
Do not want the " New Look" It dont fit what Utube is about ?? Why you hiding the features we most use?? Thing really is against free-done of speech, Do not give us something we don't want!
Please go back to channel comments on featured page and leave the chat function. Show how many comments you have and what they are. Otherwise the new look is not bad but I like the old format. You should be able to turn off how many subscribers you have.
ALL I WANT IS THIS.... A CHOICE!! EITHER THE OLD OR NEW THE NEW Design is totally F--ed up! Ruins our community, ruins friendships ruins our Faves Playlist, Primarily it could be simple..Make everyone who joins After the new design have the new..and let me decide HOW My BG looks and my Bios!
The new layout is less responsive to the youtube community and it is so visually boring that it makes me want to poor acid in my eye. No color, no cool, no class.
no one likes the new format....truly it just does not make sense thus it is difficult to use so ppl know aren't watching due to frustration and are saying forget youtube.
Hate going to someones channel and its the new design.and you see they joined 2010.I just leave .As soon as you click one of there videos your off to another page and i dont bother going back to see the rest of there vids.
they should leave it the way it was ..simple...i dont like the new one at all...so guys from YouTube if you see this video and all the comments it should tell you that there are lots of complains on here from a lot of YouTubers ...and if you guys aint doing nothing about it you sure will lose a lot of these people here ..cause everyone is here to get noticed and have a great profile too but not the way it looks now and functions ..not helping us by that..so change it plz thank you very much :)
This just shows you the stupidity of website designers who fuck with things that originally were intuitive and simple. channels are plain. There are no comments no favorites no info about the person. They have deleted everything. There is no point even clicking on a member and finding out anything about them. Who are the dumb asses at Google who let these jerkwads change the format.
@videoclipits YES I agree..HOW CAN We see a Bio..or info and likes and things about people? INCLUDING OURSELVES??? I choose my friends by their Bio!! Y T Has starting recommending Contacts for me that I would not have a person like that on my friends list, which by the way, i came to log in one day, and I had over 800 + Friends that took YEARS to make and they were all GONE! GIVE US A CHOICE OF OLD AND NEW>? THIS SUX
@TheBeatNickMan I hope Youtube is listening to us, after all, we are their bread winner youtube makes money by the number of channel's advertizement, few in the future will be less attracted to this horrible display
Yeah, I agree. Power to the people a stupid concept for our "civil "society. Big Corporations owned by the elite, know what's best for us little people.
do not like it. people are getting their channel credited for posting MY videos. I'm not talking about them getting viewcount, I mean that the video does not link back to my page. how can original youtube content makers expand their fanbase if the videos they make no longer get credited and linked back to them when someone else autoplays it
it's ridiculous. if you auto play my video it should AT LEAST link back to mine
I noticed now that anyone can send a private message. I liked it when only my friends could send a message. They really need to fix this glitch for sure.
Thanks for deleting my friends list, and extra special thanks for not giving me the courtesy of warning me first. I love having all my friends deleted so that I cant talk to them anymore.
I suggest everyone who dislikes the new design to send feedback directly to google (through the 'send feedback' button in the bottom right). Making videos is alright but I doubt that google watches them.
@bklyn909 It is time for a new genious to create a better with a new name than youtube We will all goe to his format created on Youtube old format and design
The new channels look more like a social network then a video channel! And it's such a stupid way to find channel comments! Most people won't even bother trying to find the channel comments if it's that stupid! Gah! Damn you YouTube!
Looks like megavideo might actually become youtubes rival like they claim they are if this change stays. I didn't like the previous but that's because I wasn't used to it. This design is just plain bad with dead ends everywhere. I can't view other people's subscriptions, friends,. That's how I found users with talent that aren't total douches like Ray William Faggot. I think they may have done this intentionally just for that reason.
12/14/2011 because what you have now is a bunch of Dipshit young morons working at GOOGLE / YOU TUBE who are brainless fuckin retards, who can't design jack diddly fuckin shit and get it right ! Imagine if these same Bozo's were building Airplanes how fucked up those aircraft would be !!! YOU TUBE ruined my Profile page today with their boring plain Dull Gray look, nobody can leave comments anymore or see them or see any information about me - soon YOU TUBE will be nomore - just like MYSPACE !
Has anyone at YouTube given an explanation as to why they thought this mess of a set-up was better? Like you said, it was pretty much perfect before--you could see a little of everything at once--your videos, favorites, comments, etc., or it was at least easy to get to in one click.
I really hate this new freaking layout. The YouTube designers were probably thinking, "oh well, I need to look busy doing my job, and they will get used to it, just like how they didn't like the old designs initially". But honestly, I don't see this new channel design catching on. The new YouTube designers have poor taste!
This new Youtube look was apparantly thought up by people who think that beige is a really vivid color, unflavored gelatin is 5 star cuisine and that everybody else thinks along their clone-like lines. I used to have a couple of hundred friends, now that's gone too. Also not interested in the slightest way about Youtube "suggesting" what videos and channels I should watch. Like most people here, I choose to march to my own drumbeat, not one foisted on me by boring computer geeks. LEAVE IT ALONE
This is suicide throwing away things that worked well. What a huge step backwards. The YT activity is going to plummet because of this channel change. This is like removing cruise control, intermittent wipers, and electonic doors on cars. You don't get rid of things people actively use, or make it harder to use!! Idiotic.

Or

plus with this new layout it makes the background looks bad i wont even see my background anymore if this comes out they needs transparency option for it again or is it going to be like we dont care what you guys say your not a youtube partner thing again it shore sounds like there saying that behind are backs

I can't believe they're forcing this on us. Youtube channels had a sense of personalization to them. You could re-arrange the look of your channel, the colour scheme, and decide what showed, what didn't and how many things you actually wanted up.
This new format is awful, boring, and makes everyone's page look identical. 4 templates to choose from - 3 of which are completely useless. Hidden channel comments, and having to switch between confusing tabs to check in on things is ridiculous.

The new design is the biggest crap. Every channel will look the same - boring white! And what's the point of tiny grey font that is hardly readable on white? And who needs these huge thumbnails that are just a waste of space (you have to scroll down forever!). The navigation is sooo impractical and you can't see friends, subscribers nor subscriptions anymore!!! It's all hideous AND totally useless!

The old look had the channel comments right on the main page. You don't have to find them. This is a big drawback. It is so nice to see comments right there. This is what interactive media should be all about. The new format makes it less interactive. So whose needs are being met by this change? Is there a youtube mailing address where these comments can also be addressed? Will you forward these comments to them?

I am having trouble wth the new format too. The old one allows one to find what they want to get into at a glance. I am used to it. The new one is tricky because it has the features on multiple tabs, and it takes a few clicks to search. It would be nice if we could have a choice bettween formats, instead of being forced into the new one next March. BTW That is a cool wallpaper. Mine is pretty boring now, but I think I can fix it.

Please go back to channel comments on featured page and leave the chat function. Show how many comments you have and what they are. Otherwise the new look is not bad but I like the old format. You should be able to turn off how many subscribers you have.

This just shows you the stupidity of website designers who fuck with things that originally were intuitive and simple. channels are plain. There are no comments no favorites no info about the person. They have deleted everything. There is no point even clicking on a member and finding out anything about them. Who are the dumb asses at Google who let these jerkwads change the format.

Looks like megavideo might actually become youtubes rival like they claim they are if this change stays. I didn't like the previous but that's because I wasn't used to it. This design is just plain bad with dead ends everywhere. I can't view other people's subscriptions, friends,. That's how I found users with talent that aren't total douches like Ray William Faggot. I think they may have done this intentionally just for that reason.

Has anyone at YouTube given an explanation as to why they thought this mess of a set-up was better? Like you said, it was pretty much perfect before--you could see a little of everything at once--your videos, favorites, comments, etc., or it was at least easy to get to in one click.

Yes, you can see your Channel Comments under Feed/View, but only you can see them!
If you go to another user's channel, you have no FeedView to see the channel Comments on their channel.
Similarly nobody can see your Channel Comments on your channel except yourself!

This new Youtube look was apparantly thought up by people who think that beige is a really vivid color, unflavored gelatin is 5 star cuisine and that everybody else thinks along their clone-like lines. I used to have a couple of hundred friends, now that's gone too. Also not interested in the slightest way about Youtube "suggesting" what videos and channels I should watch. Like most people here, I choose to march to my own drumbeat, not one foisted on me by boring computer geeks. LEAVE IT ALONE

This is suicide throwing away things that worked well. What a huge step backwards. The YT activity is going to plummet because of this channel change. This is like removing cruise control, intermittent wipers, and electonic doors on cars. You don't get rid of things people actively use, or make it harder to use!! Idiotic.
