  • Youtube was my best Running Website!!(was). If they change it to this new Stubid Layout i will definitly Quit youtube.

  • 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.

  • Everyone it is a big leap but stop bitching, This happened in 06 as well.

  • @TiredTigerCAG

    Leap? Yes , it is a leap from independent-self- expression --/--  to: Zombie-advertising-Drone. If they do this I AM OUTTA HERE.

  • @foamulator This happened in 06 mate, YouTube has been like this for a good while.

  • 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.

  • @CeIebrityGamer or maybe let us turn of inbox

  • I too am not happy with the mandatory change. :-/

  • 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!

  • i do not mind the channel layout but i have a huge problem with my new video manager, it is so difficult to manage video the way i want to now,

  • 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.

    The youtube wrote it

  • THEY SHOULDN'T HAVETHE RIGHT TO DO THIS TO US

  • The new layout is, quite honestly, just a pile of shit. It's plain, it's ugly, it's limited. What the fuck are you doing, Youtube.

    I want Youtube circa 2009.

  • Have you caught the news of YT loosing 25 million users?

    The number is not true, but it shows (as well as Alexa shows) that YT is on the decline.

    Source: updowner.com [ slash ] youtubecom [ slash ] youtube.com

  • 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

  • Oh no, a site that lets us upload, share and watch videos for free has changed their layout!

  • why are you all getting mad for something your not paying for?

  • @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?

  • I have been using the NEW YOUTUBE LAYOUT since day one and LOVE IT!

  • I like the new design.

  • MAKE A PAGE AGAINST THE LAYOUT EVERYONE WHO SUBS IS AGAINST THATS A GOOD IDEA :D

  • Make a difference watch?v=HPWE5ZJzxYA

  • I don't know ANYONE that likes it. It really does suck.

  • Comment removed

  • Time to find a new site...a new forum of self expression.

  • FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • 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.

  • They changed AGAIN! but slightly.

  • Comment removed

  • with permission of Teisuka (teiska123), I make mine, all his/her words.

    forgive me for my english..

  • 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.

    This YT new look is a crop!

    very mad about this....

  • @SHINYamAHA21

    We are being conditioned, compressed and therefore processed, our videos stacked in the eye-frying white of You Tube's refrigerator and those margins will possibly contain unwanted advertising (dazzling diversions directing us to the corporate)........our visual identities cheerfully discarded, protest pushed aside , yet "the You Tube team" pretend to care. ("We’ve taken your feedback to heart")

  • @Westonelm

    Isn't this terrible?

    Profile photos on the channels are WHITE GHOST.

    YT,whoever is doing this....low low very low

    Immature, misleading non-professional ITs....

    Disapointment.

    What's wrong with YT?

  • Practically everybody I know on Youtube fucking hates the new upcoming forced layout! It's a fucking lie that feedback shows people love it! The new layout fucking sucks, it sucking fucks, it's a piece of shit and I don't like it.

  • JOIN ZIPPCAST! the next best thing to Youtube

  • @AlliedWaste76

    yes, let's meet every one there!

  • the new layout is cool

  • VEVO injured youtube. the new channel design assassinated youtube. R.I.P youtube February, 14th, 2005-March, 7th, 2012

  • I HAVE THE ANSWER WE GO TO WAR WE TAKE EM OUT GRAB YOUR MOUSES KEYBORDS 360'S PS3's AND KILL THEM GAY LORDS

  • 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

  • maybe if we start a petition against the change they won't do it. (anyone know how to start a petition online? because i don't

  • 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

  • YouTube is now dead.

    The change means it is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SITE.

    'They' have NO RIGHT to call it 'You' Tube anymore.

    It's not about 'You' anymore.

    It's all about . .

    Guess what??

    MONEY.

  • @key2kingdom like this people

  • @key2kingdom they should call it "their" tube haha

  • 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!

  • You sir, just earned a subscriber! I HATE THE NEW YOUTUBE!!!

  • YouTube can go fuck itself.

  • 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?

  • great vid! I will close if I have to go gray... gray greed by yt.. is them with IQ's of -4 at YT.

  • sadly we'll probably have to quit youtube and lose our communities.

  • 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.

  • NEW HOME FOR ALL! ZIPPCAST.COM

    ZIPPCAST.COM/user/sensinzen 

  • 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. 

  • thay chang the date to march 7th

  • The new layout is crap.

  • FUCK I DONT CHANGE NEW DESIGN !!! OLD THE BEST!!! fuck youtube plase NO Must be change all design!

  • I agree mate, I'm staying Old School, I don't like The New Design WhatSoEver !!!

    There Got to be a way to STOP this,----> somehow someway & Rationally...

  • 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.

  • March 1st 2012 End of World!!!!

  • Mine's already on it and won't change back

    and it's not even march 1st

    it makes me mad!

    I miss the old youtube.

  • Idea: Create an online petition, and get as many people to sign it before March 1st.

  • I HATE the new youtube layout i wish i could do somthing about it

  • 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.

  • Totally agree, gr8 vid :)

  • great video

  • youtube is BULLSHIT AND ARE CHEAP BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT TO PAY FOR MORE BANDWIDTH!

  • WE can all SAVE the old youtube layout by signing this petition!

    petitionspot. com/ petitions/ wewantyoutubeback (just remove the spaces and the link will work)

  • petitionspot. com/ petitions/ wewantyoutubeback

  • thank u 4 making this !!

  • 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!

    

  • i subscribed because this vid was awesome and funny

  • Let's make a petition!!

  • We HATE the new design!

    We DON'T want it!

    We want to KEEP our old layout........

  • 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

  • DUDE YOU MAKE GREAT VIDEOS AND IM SUBBING YOU...

    ```

    i HEAR PEOPLE ARE MAKING PRIVATE ALL THERE VIDEOS ON SUNDAYS ```

    ```

    IM SHUTTING OFF 600 VIDEOS ...IN PROTEST THATS AN IDEA ~ !

    ```

    & I MADE TWO {{ new channel sucks videos 1 above tagge to your channel }}

  • 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..

  • now youtube is gonna be assholes saying we like the new design

  • I have the best channel on YT and no-one watches !!

    Ok, maybe not the best channel.. But anyway..

    The new channel layout sucks.. Look at the comment section on the new layout... It's really bad... YT is becoming Myspace..and we all left that.

    Great vid !!

    That YT bloke lookes shifty. The eyes...

    Rethink YT... It's called 'You'tube for Gawd's sake.....

  • 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.

  • On March 1st... We all will die because of this dumb and pointless change T_T.

  • With the new layout, how the hell can you add someone as friend!!!

  • 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.

  • @42Sparky13 I will close my channel on the 1st of March. I will not be a clone. I am defo against it.

  • Personally I like it ):

  • Welcome to Corporate America, the United Corporations of America.

  • SIMPLE, REALISTIC IDEA - Give the option of using the old or the new. Fucking solved.

  • @bigmasterman exactly.

  • 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.

  • @tardz13 you got it.

  • PROTEST

    

  • 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.

  • all i can say is this video is brilliant and true!

  • 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.

  • awesome video!

  • @361MRclips =)

  • @Nosensefornonsense i subscribed

  • 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.

  • @pinkfreud62 very true =(

    i believe the interactivity is the most important aspect on youtube. Take that away and you might aswell watch tv or just read blogs

  • @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.

  • i dont like the new design but it dont matter to me

  • Make youtube videos, protesting the new layout, by the millions!!!

  • FUCK YOU YOUTUBE GOOGLE CUNTS!

  • why not just move somewhere were we can upload comment and sub.

    There is a place called yourdailymedia its even got moving icons.

  • Nice job with the video! You're a funny one!

    Personally, I hate the new layout! -_-

  • Great video! I hate the new design and do not wanna change it!

  • Cool video. I hate the new design too :-(

  • youtube sucks as bad as facebook now

  • fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu youtube sucks ass!!!!!!!

  • this is bullllllll!!!

    motherfather!

    so gayyyyyYYY!

    i hate how lame youtube is becomething!!!

    dammmmmit!!!

  • Anonymous Must Shut Down Youtube! It's about Time...

  • 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

  • fuk, just look at that koksux mouth on that godam YT manager...what a scumfugg....obviously hes suckin hard from the NWO

  • well the YT skummbags are definitely playing the "fuk u " game.....what a bunch of friggn used tampons run this shithole they turning it into.....

    too much WAR had gone to their brains...or whats left....we will be sailing a battleGrey ship on YT BattleGrey Shit...

  • 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

  • Fucking bullshit cunts dont give a fuck

  • @TheUnicyclePanda .... couldnt say it better......

  • myspace did this huge change too and i dont go on it anymore cuz of it

  • 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!!

  • 2 people should get off of YT

  • 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.

  • IT'S OVER FOR YOUTUBE AND IT'S OVER FOR US

  • THE REAL YOUTUBE IS OVER HERE: AeroTube(dot)webs(dot)com

  • this is some BS! So made at youtube.

  • i'm moving to zippcast.

  • MARCH THE FIRST WILL BE THE DAY I DIE! ;(

  • 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.

  • I WISH YOUTUBE WOULD WAKE UP FROM THIS DEEP SLEEP THE CLEARLY ARE ALL IN AT THE MOMENT

  • 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.

  • GET ANONYMOUS TO HACK YOUTUBE and change the layouts fuck yeah

  • 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.

  • People said this exact same thing last time. Now the current design (not the one in in the video) is extremely popular!

  • 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...
