I agree with the video. The new layout really sucks if e.g. you have lots of subscriptions. First, I would like to see more videos at the same time. I don't really care about the video thumbnail, and now it's bigger than before... Second, I would like to see some grouping happening with my subscription videos in the front page, that I could easily spot the really interesting ones from other subscription videos.
It used to be much easier going through who uploaded what. If one user uploaded several videos in a short period of time they'd all be grouped together, now all videos are shown individually making it take ALOT longer time going through uploads. Also, I used to be able to see if one of my subs liked or fav'd a good video made by someone I wasn't subbed to. I've subbed to many users due to others liking or faving their vids (devchelle2 included). Now I have to go through all comments my subs wrot
I never used the home page because I never liked it, it always shoved recommendations down my throat. I don't like that I can't remove a video from the list, but I'm seeing more content than I was.
I don't like how hard they make it to get to channel comments on the new channel layouts, you basically have to comment before you get the option to see other people's comments.
I'm glad the fixed the problem where "create a video response" wasn't showing up.
I agreel with AssRapingHC! This is just plain impractical and cumbersome. I can't see why I have to look at every video maker's new video in my subs list and then still see it hanging around for days even if I have already viewed it. Why did they wreck an already perfectly functional layout? Makes no sense. Someone at Youtube who came up with this without giving us the option of going back to the old way, those people should be fired.
I really enjoy your slideshow videos complete with musical accompaniment. But I have to be frank here. I just lost a ton of respect for you. All this time I thought you had a passion for larger issues, really IMPORTANT issues — but here you are bitching and crying about the æsthetics of a fucking website? I had no idea you were so petty and shallow.
Don't worry, I won't be back to thumb up your videos anymore.
@Try2MakeSenseOrSTFU goodbye. I guess you didnt know I once deleted 1,370 subscribers. I am not here for subscribers. I was always on youtube for ME. If you unsubscribe... I dont give a shit. You will not be missed.
This new layout makes me angry just looking at it. I dont use google+ because of the way it looks... I dont use myspace because of the way it looks... now youtube is in the same category.
@chthonios its a MAJOR difference to me. I dont wanna be bombarded with chunky blocks of primary colors its uncomfortable on the eyes and makes me feel like I'm using lego blocks made for 5 year old kids.
i come home from work and it was one of the first things I saw on my browser. Looks like YT's Cosmic Panda (new layout) is living up to all its horrid hype....
Can someone tell me if there's a way to give Youtube "feedback" about the new layout? Yes, I know about the small blue tab in the bottom right, but I hit the x by accident.
@KyuubiDragon4 I have found YouTube very difficult to contact by any medium (internet, telephone or mail) & any form of genuine 2 way communication with YouTube impossible.
So no more video responses huh? That sucks! I agree the new layout looks and acts annoying, I tried the new channel layout and it reminded me of Facebook (that kept pissing me off so I changed it back)
Half of my screen is now entirely unused, and of that half that is used, only the central strip of that contains what I typically want to see -- IE, the vids of those that I'm subscribed to. And even then, occasionally there's a vid I don't want to see (or already have) -- how the heck do I get rid of them??
@goxster no we dont. I have a google+ account but dont use it because I HATE the way it looks. The format is awful and now youtube looks just like it... time for me to close my channel i think.
Zaunstar, not only do I not see no X, I also get multiple copies if one person I subscribe to makes multiple comments on a video.... speaking of which, if you reply to this tomorrow (or possibly in a few hours), your subscribers will get this video in their list again.
@JustAnotherMutant What? Really? Holy crap, this is annoying... I do LIKE some of the new analytics and stuff, and the front page would be tolerable if it everything didn't take up so much space and I could X out videos.
With this new layout, if I want to see what friends have favorited, or given thumbs up to, I don't have to wade through a lot of unsolicited YouTube recommendations to do so... that's a huge improvement as far as I'm concerned.
@devchelle2 It's frustrating. I was already cynical enough about the already large amount of problems with the functionality of Youtube's site layout.
They need to simplify this goddamn thing. It's cluttered. Youtube's layout is never something you learn to use because in order to use it you have to find out how to manipulate it and work around it constantly.
Then debating people, you have to go into fucking detective mode to try to find the comment you were responding to.
@markdzima On the minus side, you do have to wade through every single comment anyone has made, including when someone replies to a comment on their own video. For example, everyone of my subs and friends will unnecessarily see a reply I might give to a comment on one of my videos. They will also see this reply to you, which even I think is rather boring. Otherwise you're right.
@deepashtray That feature is fortunate for my channel, though, because the comments and replies there are often interesting enough to deserve wider attention than they were getting under the old format.
This new layout is basically like the old one... but less functional (no 'cancel' button for comments) and less well grouped (all vids together rather than by loader).
So it's like the old layout... just not as good... and in office grey to show us how boring the people at YT are.
I'll get used to the front page but I don't like not seeing notifications of comments and messages on my main page. When I log into Youtube I want to be told right away if I have a message or comments.
It especially sucks for partners. It removes some of the best things about being a partner... like the banner at the top of the page, the extra image ad you could have and a lot of the interactive stuff. It's just gone. Now, the only thing that makes being a partner good is posting ads to your video... which I almost never did. I liked being a partner for the profile perks... which they remove if your profile is switched to the new style.
@TheAlphaChurch No I wont. Fuck youtube. I hate this new look with a passion, I dont use google pluys because of the format and now those dumb asses have gone made youtube look the same way.
I never said it doesn't suck nor did I say getting used to it would make it better. It's like there's going to be a significant amount of people that will just suddenly stop making youtube videos just because of the new layout so it's whatever.
@Trips1103 Why the malice? I did not criticize the change, I merely suggested something that would make it work. I suspect you didn't even read what I wrote.
