I'm afraid that the change will happen. I don't believe they are listening to our concerns. There really is no alternative out their so were getting screwed with getting a kiss.
I've been on YouTube practically since it began, I've had my fair share of frustration with this site, but this is definitely the most frustrating thing they've ever done. Changing the layout when it isn't even needed, or wanted, for that matter. To me the new design is such a step down. It's grey, plain and uncustomizable, but the thing that frustrates me the most is that YouTube could care less about OUR opinion. Even if we are the "You" in YouTube. Might as well call it ShitTube.
There is nothing we can do , just hope YT gives us an option to let us customize our pages more, that's all i really want is to have options plenty of options to change the design and page colors, wrapper.
There is really no other place to go, dailymotion doesnt give us options to change anything either.
Hopefully the backlash from users will be similar to what Netflix encountered... hopefully YT will have to rethink the new design. Seems to me the new design is more about the casual user who comes on YT to look up a video not about the YT community that have time and passion invested in their channels!
As we shared in December, we want you to have more options for how you organize and showcase your content on your YouTube Channel so you can continue to grow your audience.
If you haven’t already, you can opt in by clicking the blue “Try the new design” button on the top of your Channel page. You may also switch back to the old Channels design repeatedly before March 7 by clicking the “Switch Back” button in the appearance tab of the Edit Channel menu on your new Channel.
as long as the majority of YT subscribers dont complain about it. say over 60%. Youtube is not going to care that you dont like it. i agree with raziel722. you are not paying for it anyways. the advertisements are paying for it. facebook acts this way too
@raziel722 I spend time on it. I put my energy into my Channel. I look for the best to put on utube. I put my personality into my Channel. That is pretty much disappearing. It is like institutional grey in the old schools I went to. You didn't even know what school it was if you were in an area without windows. Originally it was set up for individuality & to make contacts & friends. Now that is being taken away, bit by bit. I usually don't reply to comments like this but I wanted to.
I say we just boycott Youtube. I mean it is a far-fetched idea, but if youtube sees a significant amount of users leaving because of the freedom they took away from us, then maybe they'd liste, yeah?
It is coming! March 7th is the magic day. Your channel and my channel and everyone channel would be the exact same. Wow, let's celebrate. we are equally ugly now.
This is BS. The new channel design sucks. It's bland, it's ugly, you can no longer view all comments and you can't even change the colour. And the fact that YouTube is forcing it on us when it's clearly obvious that people aren't happy with it is completely ridiculous. It just goes to show how much they care about their community. They can go to hell.
*ZippCAST* is the NEW ~ *old version* You Tube with more features + friends :) ZC is upgrading at the moment for ALL the Youtube Refugees...So bear with!

they've pushed the date back to March 7th now, i hope they cancel it altogether. the new layout is very generic and stupid, and takes longer to find stuff on your channel
Nooooo!!!! My channel is in 3D!!!!! dont change the channels youtube!!! why does every site has to go stereotypical like myspace, facebook, twitter, all of them, they all started cool and now they're shit!!! don't do the same youtube!!!!! don't ruin my channel please!!!!!!! >:o
This is all about Google and YouTube impeding your rights to privacy. Have you heard what Google wants to do? They want to profile you based on your searches. They say this will make searching easier, I say it violates privacy. imagine your friends searching Sarah Palin on your comp and finding Sarah Palin porn as the first option. Profiling searches is an invasion of privacy. Thank god Google is replaceable, but YouTube is not. We need an alternate viral video site to boycott YouTube fast!
How big are the chances anyway that youtube will stop this change?Youtube doesn't seem to care about any feedback from the users and in this case I guess 95%+ of all youtube users are against this new channel layout yet youtube is going to force us anyway to use it?
So Against The New Lay Out! I'll Be Deleting My Page March 7th! I Joined Zippcast. It's A Bit Buggy But So Was YouTube When It First Started Out. I'm Sure It Will Improve.
I like the new layout. It is the same reason I liked facebook more than Myspace. I like a minimal, universal, look, and feel to my experiences.
I am not a fan of the "forced change" so longer after the option was given. If they had forced the change when it was released, one could say it was the same thing as the switch between Aero and Metro.
Ugh, so right. I don't like it either, I only changed mine so I could get used to it sooner because I figured they would force it. Not to mention groups have been ruined as well.
Google doesn't care; people have been griping about the new look for quite a while now before they decided to make it mandatory. A quick look over at the YouTube Feedback & Suggestions forum shows that the Google employees could care less what anyone thinks about it, and trust me, there is nary a positive word about it.
The only way to send a message at this point is to close your account entirely by March 1st and just don't use YT at all if you can keep from it. That's what I'll be doing.
I agree! I really hate the new layout! A lot of the information on the channels is no longer visible like the comments, the information about yourself etc. It really makes YouTube less personal and harder to interact with people. I think they're going the wrong way about making YouTube a better website. All the people on here will leave and it will be such a shame that they didn't actually listen to what the people want.
The new layout is awful. Youtube is going backward when it should be going forward. Even the way videos are uploaded and sent to the homepage is worse then ever. Views were at their best before they incorporated these stupid lists and all videos were in one box. They really need to fire their development team and find competent designers to do their jobs. That's my opinion on the subject.
Hi there! I agree. My immediate reaction when I first saw the new layout was: WTF is this supposed to be? Some new virtual Berlin wall?
Not sure what can be done about it (my guess: Not much).
Although my YT channel is relatively new, I've seen many more or less 'brilliant' changes over the last decades in the 'internet-world' - as many of us 'oldies' have ;D.
Also liked your first video on the subject + all the other ones.
What a great video! Many thanks for sharing this! I agree everything what you say. What to do? Well, I think we can only "bomb" the YouTube with our messages, like: "We all hate the new design. We don't want it" (you can find YouTube's official channel, username is simple YouTube). After that, if they will still force us to use new layout, we can leave this place. Yes, it's simple: close your account and just get the hell out of here! Then YouTube have a new design but no old users! ;) Teisuka
i just don't get the new design. it makes no sense, functionally or aesthetically. it's like YT just woke up one day and said "hey let's modernize YT by taking out the customization and dumbing down the interface with shiny new buttons!!"
The new channel layout sucks.. I have spent alot, ALOT time to design my channel and now I think it looks good and now Youtube is going to ruin it.. I just can't stand it..
I will close my channel on the 1st of March. This is all about money and advertising, and no longer about what is special and unique: the channels that we have designed which reflect our individuality.
Come to my channel. I've been campaigning against the creators of YT for quite some time now. I still continue to do so because millions of others aren't showing that they are against it. I am giving them that chance.
yup its why i changed to the new channel design because a friend of mine in the know told me it will be forced. i still hate the new channel design. i have noticed a drop in views since i have changed. the majority of people like the old design. it should be called TheyTube.
We should stop clicking on all ads for like 2 months and see how they like that... maybe they'd listen then. Because it's money, and that seems to be the only thing they care about anymore.
i'll probably continue to make videos despite the new layout. however if and when another site like youtube gets competition, I have no problem switching over. btw, I can't stand the new layout as well. it's terrible.
Here's my opinion, comment on the vids of all the major YouTubers telling them to make videos letting youtube know that we want to have a say in what our channel looks like, when they do that it's gonna be like when a kid is at a school where they have to wear a uniform, most people don't like uniforms and that's basically what this is going to be.
I'll probably be more quite, too. The new channel is so ugly, impersonal and half the fun of YT was being able to visit channels, readily see info, read comments at a glance, meet new friends and share art work. It was a second place to call "home". And as another pointed out - not everyone posts videos, but enjoy being part of the community. I thnk most socializing will be down to a minimum and people will no longer be interactive here. So sad.
@Nosensefornonsense NOw theyve changed it to the 7th... WHY NOT GET RID OF IT WHAT A BUNCH OF BULL SHIT BTW Congrats to partner ship and hope they stop u tube new lay out
@pinkfreud62 - I am still consumed with ironic mirth when someone said to me, an advocate of the new layout, that is is "more user friendly". Unbelievable.
Screw the new Youtube, this site completely went down the drain. They are taking the social aspect of Youtube out. Not all of us upload videos, some of us like to leave each other comments and stuff. I met so many great people on this site throughout the months. The people who run Youtube need to think of who are the ones making them rich...US. Your average user. They should at least make the new layout optional, not mandatory.
The crying's over for me. I'm going to link my videos to a social networking page like facebook and say to hell with youtube. One less set of eyes to watch their commercials. That should lose them a couple of pennies a year. Guess I showed them.
I agree. This is such a drag. I'm considering going to a diff. website too but don't know which would be best. I wanna be "brand loyal" but this is the last straw!
only solution is to all migrate...even to a shit site, just to shut YT down...although, there will b more gogsuckers who stay, than brave souls that leave...the nature of mentally weak citizens after decades of mindfuk
They WILL force it no matter WHAT!...Grey is the NWO official colour....YT and Facebook BOTH basically belongs to the BIGGEST SHareholder....The CIA....
go to the facebook dot com slash youtube page and paste the address to this video into the post box. I'm sure they'll delete it as they did mine but after a few hundred thousand they might think better of forcing the new format on us.
@nlowell1 They WILL force it no matter WHAT!...Grey is the NWO official colour....YT and Facebook BOTH basically belongs to the BIGGEST SHareholder....The CIA....
I posted your video (this video) on the youtube facebook page. As I suspected it didn't last more than one screen refresh (but I did get a picture of it :o)
Maybe if a few thousand people also post your video on the youtube facebook page they might get tired of deleting it. Maybe they'll also get the message :o)
So this is what the Mayans ment by the end of the world in 2012. FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- oh well we've been dealing with this for the past 4 years or so.
i saw this too and it made me angry, myspace changed the layout so that you couldnt change it. you cant change the layout on facebook and now youtube are doing it. lame. what are they thinking?? aside from the fact you cant customise the colours, its just a gernally bad layout design. This is awful
Thing is, we eventually grow adapted to the more modern layout and appearance. Not to say that the webpage is brilliantly designed and free from flaws...no-no! I'm STILL unable to eliminate videos I've previously enjoyed. I don't understand that. I can eliminate videos from the sidebar...but not the subscriber videos. And they just fucking changed this shit! Why now?! Why again?! Jesus!!
fuck that! lets start a website of our own! everyone go to YT's channel and spam it with shit! I worked soooo hard on getting my main channel to where it is now and i don't want to lose it! they even made it so that you can't see the friends thing! i was sooo upset. write back on this comment telling me your opinion, i'm curious here what others have to say.
Who are these testers, must their family members or low-level employee. I don't have page yet, but dammitt there better be some damn html functionality.
Send out a bulletin to all your subscribers,asking all YT partners to voice their opinions. Without us users and the advertisers there is no YT.Tell Google we are unhappy,the developers are screwing over us.YT depends on users and advertisers to exist.They need us.
It sounds as if March 1, 2012 COULD BE the beginning of the end of YouTube, for a very good reason. It might even make big news that YT had ruin their reputation and we members would be fed up and delete our accounts. All because the people in charge don't care about us. How many would remain afterwards?
If large enough group of people would make, similar Video in which they tell how they don't want this change, and call Video the same, it would get some attention.
The problem unfortunately is impossible to fix. They made these changes specifically for more advertising. Since they make quite a few bucks off those ad's they will never give a shit about what anyone has to say.
Once again the people have fallen victim to assholes corrupted by money.
YES ,DO A VIDEO AND ASK TO PEOPLE TO SIGN WITH THE CHANNEL NAME AS A PETITION AGAINST THIS BULL...,AND THEN MAKE IT VIRAL AND ASK TO MIRROR ,AND FINALLY, A DETERMINATE A DATE TO SEND (ALL VIDEO ) ON THE YOUTUBE ACCOUNT AND THE REPRESENTATIVES ,GOOGLE ECT...
Youtube was my best Running Website!!(was). If they change it to this new Stubid Layout i will definitly Quit youtube.

Hello Youtube,
I believe I am not the only one who has put efforts to design own channel and maintaining for years.
Although Youtube provides us the system, the creation of each one's channels are our own property. Therefore YouTube must not force people.
It's like a stealing of one's creation.
Some professional must talk about legal term on this issue.

I HATE the new youtube layout i wish i could do somthing about it
sk8masters1123 1 month ago
The new layout is awful. Youtube is going backward when it should be going forward. Even the way videos are uploaded and sent to the homepage is worse then ever. Views were at their best before they incorporated these stupid lists and all videos were in one box. They really need to fire their development team and find competent designers to do their jobs. That's my opinion on the subject.

Hi there! I agree. My immediate reaction when I first saw the new layout was: WTF is this supposed to be? Some new virtual Berlin wall?
Not sure what can be done about it (my guess: Not much).
Although my YT channel is relatively new, I've seen many more or less 'brilliant' changes over the last decades in the 'internet-world' - as many of us 'oldies' have ;D.
Also liked your first video on the subject + all the other ones.
THX and Cheers!

What a great video! Many thanks for sharing this! I agree everything what you say. What to do? Well, I think we can only "bomb" the YouTube with our messages, like: "We all hate the new design. We don't want it" (you can find YouTube's official channel, username is simple YouTube). After that, if they will still force us to use new layout, we can leave this place. Yes, it's simple: close your account and just get the hell out of here! Then YouTube have a new design but no old users! ;) Teisuka

We should stop clicking on all ads for like 2 months and see how they like that... maybe they'd listen then. Because it's money, and that seems to be the only thing they care about anymore.

Here's my opinion, comment on the vids of all the major YouTubers telling them to make videos letting youtube know that we want to have a say in what our channel looks like, when they do that it's gonna be like when a kid is at a school where they have to wear a uniform, most people don't like uniforms and that's basically what this is going to be.

I'll probably be more quite, too. The new channel is so ugly, impersonal and half the fun of YT was being able to visit channels, readily see info, read comments at a glance, meet new friends and share art work. It was a second place to call "home". And as another pointed out - not everyone posts videos, but enjoy being part of the community. I thnk most socializing will be down to a minimum and people will no longer be interactive here. So sad.

beowulf3075 3 weeks ago
Screw the new Youtube, this site completely went down the drain. They are taking the social aspect of Youtube out. Not all of us upload videos, some of us like to leave each other comments and stuff. I met so many great people on this site throughout the months. The people who run Youtube need to think of who are the ones making them rich...US. Your average user. They should at least make the new layout optional, not mandatory.

I posted your video (this video) on the youtube facebook page. As I suspected it didn't last more than one screen refresh (but I did get a picture of it :o)
Maybe if a few thousand people also post your video on the youtube facebook page they might get tired of deleting it. Maybe they'll also get the message :o)

Thing is, we eventually grow adapted to the more modern layout and appearance. Not to say that the webpage is brilliantly designed and free from flaws...no-no! I'm STILL unable to eliminate videos I've previously enjoyed. I don't understand that. I can eliminate videos from the sidebar...but not the subscriber videos. And they just fucking changed this shit! Why now?! Why again?! Jesus!!

It sounds as if March 1, 2012 COULD BE the beginning of the end of YouTube, for a very good reason. It might even make big news that YT had ruin their reputation and we members would be fed up and delete our accounts. All because the people in charge don't care about us. How many would remain afterwards?

The problem unfortunately is impossible to fix. They made these changes specifically for more advertising. Since they make quite a few bucks off those ad's they will never give a shit about what anyone has to say.
