  • The beta channels are OK not gay or really bad but, I don't like how they FORCE you to use them.

  • I am use to them now, but yeah i didnt like how they forced us to us them, that was my main beef.

  • there are alot of stupid things on youtube i hate the time limits but in a way i see why they did it but its still stupid

  • man you are are right

    i want back the old youtube

  • yeah me too, i admit I have gotten much more use to beta channels now, but there are still things that confuse me at times -_-

    I don't know how to change my background at all.

  • me too it sucks

  • YouTube, the corporate fiasco.

  • i was forced :((

  • I'm wondering now if it's to do with having videos up on the page, so they converted it into the vid page we see since they altered that a while back. If it were due to this, why not remove the ability of viewability and have them as a link like the searches, rather showing them. We don't need that smaller squinty screen for blogs up or even the featured vid actually watchable. It could be a blow up of an icon, but then it takes you to the page screen.

  • LOL I remember that one!

  • Bullitens were gone because of spam.

  • and sometimes i go to people who are usin this CHANNEL AND IT DONT EVEN WORK WHEN I CLICK ON MORE VIDEOS IT SEENS LIKE IT WORKS SOMETIMES AND MOT OTHERS DO YOU EVER HAVE THIS HAPPEN?

  • I know I'm a little late to post this opinion on your video. But I think youtube just likes to force change. I think they look at this as people bitch about anything that changes, such as the widescreen change, or the bulletin change

    So they force it whether we like it or not because nobody likes changes.

    But I think in this case, they made youtube beta down right harder to navigate through videos.

    With the non beta, I don't even have to press anything I can see the person's 9 favorited vids

  • I feel ya on that Youtube started off well but now they're going down the shittter they don't fix what they should instead they mess with what everyone is comfortable with to begin with.

  • agreed. i don't find it fair to youtubers who've gained a custom to their original channels, are now forced to a beta channel.

  • yeah I like my channel the way it is, been using it like for two years, and i don't really want to get use to anything new.

  • i like the beta channels but it shouldn't be mandatory.

  • thats all I ask, that it shouldn't be mandatory!

  • why youtube!?! why did you fuck up the worst way NOW!!?

    soon they will be telling us we can't watch videos or comment wah!!!

  • yeah i wouldn't be suprised, pretty soon they will probably start charging us to watch videos and make accounts.

  • Uh, I can change and I'm not a partner. :P

  • Youtube has not changed that yet, we still have the option to change back as of now, but later youtube is making us all use the beta type channel, and not giving us the option to switch back to the old design.

  • waht gets me mad is why can there partners choose but not us tht seens like there being commies or how ever you spell it dont you agree i hate the new one i tryed it but wasnt easy for me

  • Good job, overall, it is just a preference, but the problem is when it comes making it mandatory.

  • agreed, it shouldn't be mandatory!

  • you are standing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111­11oneone11!!! Not UNECCESARY CHANGE@@@!!!@!@#WE!E@EE! ROBOT HOUSE

  • weeii ohhh weeeeeeee

  • wah wuh wuh wah

  • I'm cumming!

  • It's a net and it's tiny!

  • give em them stick, don't give em the stick!

  • Great video! Good rant Jared.

  • Yes, youtube is dying. Infact it is dead! Youtube has turned into a zombie to make us miserable and make us want to just plead that we are not existing! D:<

  • I wouldn't say its that bad O.o

    I only have feuds with the strict copyright rules, the WMG removing music, and the channel designs.

  • it's half a zombie then. XD

  • I agree it's stupid to force us to change our channels if we're happy with the channels we have. I hope someone important in youtube sees this video and changes it so we can choose our channel.

  • nice of you to check out another rant, and get away from the IG and AVGN drama.

  • anything to get away from that I do like most of both of them but since most of it is coming from the Irate Gamer's videos I'm not sure that I will continue watching him particularly since he slowed down with his videos. Anyway I starting to find your videos intriguing maybe a subscriber but I haven't made my decision yet =/

  • I can actually agree with you there, Irategamer has gotten stale, but I think AVGN has gotten stale as well, I think they were both at there funniest when they were first starting out. My favorite game reviewer right now is probably the IGSRJ.

    I am most notable for my rants, and some of my game reviews, those are the videos people like the most, so feel free to check those out if you do decide to check more of my videos.

  • I think part of the reason they have started getting stale is all the popularity they get, then because they have so many viewers they just keep trying too harder to impress everyone perhaps too hard and when that happens people usually change their style and some of their older fans might not like it

    I will check out the other videos though

  • It does feel like an unnecessary change. I enjoy the new design. However, It shouldn't be a forced changed.

  • I agree, it should be left how it is, we have a choice whether we want to use it or not, in all honesty I am getting more use to the channels, as a lot of people use them now, so I am pretty much forced to have to navigate through it, I can figure it out for the most part, but still I like the way my channel looks and I do not want to be forced to change my design.

    Also I think youtube should be focusing on other issues besides new channel designs.

  • I myself am neutral with the beta (even though I use it myself). It's not perfect by any means, but I have no major problems with it once I figure things out. Sure, there's the loading issue and the glitches, but that only dampers it a little.

    And I agree with the comment approval. I have it on my videos and channel for the reasons that non-friends may have some pointers. However, you DO make a point about damage being done once a troll or hater comes around.

  • Adding to that last comment, I PERSONALLY think that YouTube needs to get rid of the 5-star rating systems. IMO, it's been abused to death, and it's getting harder to find what's worthwhile to watch and what's... well, not.

    There's also the issues with flagging, but I think I've said enough.

  • yeah your right, there are people that abuse ratings bigtime, literally the same person will just keep rating videos 1 star, day after day.

  • Hello, my friend .. :-) Nice to see you again .. Nice rant!

  • You bet they are, a lot of my friends wanted to post weightlifting related videos, but they see what kind of haters me and my friends get then they close there accounts because they don't want to be hated on.

  • i favorited this kared ;) however i dont think that the only friends comment is really a good idea. i mean i like when new people comment me, and f a hater comments me then kjust block them. once you block the bad users then thats basically like only having who you want to comment your videos.

  • well my idea was not to force those kind of options, but be able to choose when enabling who can comment on videos, some people can take the haters, some can't, in our case we usually just block them if there disrespectful and mean. But stevethepowerman for example, was thinking of uploading videos, but then he closed his account, I thought he was a cool dude, and I remember him always saying he was afraid to upload videos because of the haters me and you got.

  • Awesome rant,Jared! I think YouTube should give us the option of switching back to the old channel or the new beta channel.

  • One thing I really hate is that the new channels don't work on Safari on my iPod Touch...and I use it a lot...

  • Personally I do not care about the beta channels...not a big deal imo

  • well like I said we probably will adapt, I just like my channel how it is, and do not want to change it.

  • meh, i looked at both and its okay, only problme is the background and how i want itto be invisible, but meh

    you look different though

  • I think it's okay, the beta's not that bad.

  • well I am sure we will all get use to it, if we use it enough, but I think we should at least have a choice, we shouldn't be forced to use these designs, but it still annoys me that youtube worries about channel designs, when there are probably other issues that need more improvement then new channel designs.

  • True. I can change my channel back if I wanted to but since I use the new design more then the old I could care less really. People do have rights. Partners are the same as you and me. We have options too.

  • ive tried to get used to it for about 2 weeks and now i can honestly say, THEY SUCK ASS! and i heard that theyre actually giving us a choice. but if any user joined on June 24, 2009 or after, they were automatically switched over. thats bullshit.

    it maybe a beta but its gonna be the same thing just with tweaks when the final version is released.

  • same here I have tried navigating peoples channels with beta channels, the playlists seem confusing, sometimes when I want to browse through videos it says playlist not found, then it won;t let me scroll though other videos. I also do not know where the heck there favorites list is, they are just messy in my opinion.

  • I prefer this new design but i definately seem to be in the minority.

    I guess its the Liberal in me that too open to change again ;P

  • well like I said we all will get use to it probably, but why should we?

    Its like trying to make yourself cool due to warm weather, you have two options air conditioning or fans, either way it makes you cooler, but you get a choice, and your not forced to us one option.

  • The point of changing the channels is to get there site not to work with IE6 anymore and IE6 is an old and outdated browser.

  • what the heck is IE6? I never heard of this O.o

  • It's Internet Explorer 6 which is an old shitty browser that was created in 2001 and Websites like Youtube, Facebook and Twitter are trying to phase it out. And IE6 doesn't work with the new channels.

  • You're right on this Jared. But one day, youtube will realize this unnecessary change and will allow us to make an option.

  • youtube wastes time with pointless stuff like new channel designs, when there are plenty of other flaws that need work on.

  • Yeah exactly, they need to be the way they used to, to where we can upload videos with unlimited time AKA 50 minutes for ex.

  • exactly thank you, I forgot all about time limits, give us more time youtube, screw new channel designs give us more friggin time, its annoying to make multi part videos!

  • Amen! I hate these new channels hard to get used to a new interface.

  • i completly agree

  • Great Video! I rated 5 stars and yeah- i dont like beta!

  • Not to drag off topic, but is that a hotel?

  • Thats my room actually, I felt like doing a camcorder rant in another part of the house.

  • Agreed beta channels are terrible they load like shit, freeze half the time, and you can't go full screen or see all the comments on the profile videos. Although I don't think partners get to choose because i saw a video where one partner was complaining about it, yet his own profile was the beta channel.

  • I regret not going over many of the flaws they have, but sometimes when I try to click uploads for more videos it says this playlist can't be found, and then I can;t find other videos -_-

  • Yes that happens to me all the time. The Beta channels were suppose to become mandatory a few weeks ago but youtube postponed it because of all the bugs. But even if they do fix all of them a lot of problems will still exist.

  • probably, youtube has much worse issues then channels though, thats what annoys me there are far worse problems on youtube like haters and trolls, yet youtube focuses on channel designs??

    Give me a break!

  • Well no matter what you do you can never get rid of trolls. Even if youtube did have a way to stop them, the clever ones will either make their own account just to bash you, or they will hack your account and delete everything. The only way to stop a troll is too not acknowledge them, or better yet laugh when they make a comment bashing you. They will leave you alone if they see that it doesn't bother you. Trust me, I've dealt with a lot of trolls.

  • Well my plan was IP bans on trolls, ban there IP and they usually won't come back.

    I have dealt with lots of trolls as well, I am still here aren't I :P

    I been for almost two years, I will usually ignore and block them myself, but sometimes there are people who just can;t stand them, especially younger users.

    Youtube lets trolls run around and keep coming back, youtube should ban there IPs that will usually keep them off youtube for good!

  • Well that's a good idea for some of the average trolls. But that won't do crap against half the trolls at say ED (although i don't think you've gotten that much attention yet). They can easily change their IP address or hack you.

  • I agree the new Beta2.0 channels are bull-shit. Do you think that Youtube will focus all there attention on the partners & & delete non-partner channels one day.

  • 4:05

    They do have that feature for the comments: "Allow friends' comments automatically, all others with approval only"

    Youtube's changes are becoming sloppy. I do like how they improve the video quality but when it comes to channels, it's just a mess. I agree with you.

  • I meant that for videos though, only friends can comment on videos, not channel comment or personal messages.

  • Ahy I see.

  • yeah they still do not have only friends can comment on videos, that option is just for channel comments and personal messages.

  • They have that option for videos NOTchannels nor PMs. Do you know what I'm saying,dwag?

  • you sure? So only friends can comment on videos now? not just channel comments and videos now? Because i have never seen that option when I edit my videos.

  • Okay to find.

    "Allow friends' comments automatically, all others with approval only" for videos Go to

    Edit video>Comment. You'll see that option for videos. I think channels have that to.

  • its still not the same though, even with comment approval you still see the comment, the user sees it, once he sees the comment the damage is done whether its approved or not.

  • I understand now.

  • Great video

    I think Youtube should go with you can pick two channels that you want to use,the beta channels or the old channels.

  • I like how it is now, they should just keep it how it is right now, a choice.

  • Are you growing a mullet?

  • I am not sure exactly how it resembles a mullet, it just simply long right now, but I will probably get a haircut soon, I just simply let it grow.

  • Jared Oz the offer of the mullet is tempting me not to give a shit, keep your hair growing like that. I wanna see what you look like.

  • probably not gonna happen dude, I am getting annoyed with my long hair and probably let it grow out to long.

  • Why not you've got a mullet LOL?

  • ohhh and i forgot to mention i like the new channels because it (in theory) is easier to use and personaly i think its more attractive but its all personal opinion and i personaly couldnt give a damn as long as i can watch and upload videos

  • agreed! Like I said we probably will eventually get use to them but whats the point?

    Youtube worries about channel designs when there are far worse things they could be working on to improve, out of things there worried about channel designs -_-

  • well along with the design changes are some other changes to formatting and some other crap... basicaly they say its to i want to say make the channels take up less memory or something along those lines but in all reality its to show off more stuff for partners because it allows a large portion of the profile to go to sponsors/adds/ and promotions and makes it easier to view the persons video witout having to change pages so basicaly it isnt a change thats needed its just to make more money

  • it only seems to benefit them to make more money, but does not seem to benefit many users it seems.

  • well its a buisness and you cant hate them for wanting to make more money and its not like they are "hurting" us

  • Thank you for making a rant about this, I was waiting for It and I agree with you.

  • i like them...but im not asking everyone els to convert and the point is google sucks asssssssss

  • I have no problem if it a choice like it is now, but from my knowledge youtube is going to make all channels beta, that is not cool, I like my channel how it is!

  • exactly and it should be up to you

  • YT isn't owned by Google any more.

  • seince when?

  • "Seince" Hulu bought it months ago. Keep up.

  • I wasn't even aware they bought it lol.

    So there the ones responsible for these beta channels eh??

    I am so going to pee in there cereal for this HA!

  • No, It's still owned by google.

  • thats one way of capping the competition

  • No, It's still owned by Google It Says it According to Wikipedia.

  • Lolwikipedia. Get a credible source kid.

  • Where Did you get your source out of your ass ?

  • Description to NEWS ARTICLES; watch?v=V025E_b5I4g

  • It says in the video that it was going to look more like hulu ( which never happen ) but it wasn't bought by hulu and hulu is owned by four corporations.

  • Kind of funny (or maybe not)

    They said back in mid July, 15th or something that they'd make the change

    NEVER HAPPENED

  • End of summer because they were too glitchy.

  • I hope it stays that way, I want to keep my channel the way it is.
