YouTube Layout History

[cboy4001]

Sigh, might as well just cancel my account then. Things probably aren't going to change for the better -___-

[up3left4]

the latest layout was the best...until google fucked up everything I'm gonna miss my old channel:'(

[deadlyNytshayd]

signed up 2007

signed off 2012

[BeastFRAME]

2007 was best, with the 1-5 rating systems. I'd say it was at it's best spot back then with no VEVO and shit. After that it has just been going down hill.

[MrKARproductions8]

2005-2007 were my favorite.

[SebiStudios2]

It was best in '06 and '07. Before the Beta channels and the 3.0 design, before the annoying ads, before cosmic panda, before Google, before the site was currupted by corperations.

[PYROxASSASSIN]

2005, 2007

[MsKiana2001]

i loved 2009.

[shihtzupup98]

2007 was the best of all.....

[TheProdigyofArt]

[ThePidgeottosNest]

[Agui007]

[thecomputerman12121]

@RayWiIIamJohns0n Yeah pretty much... I hacked mine 2 have old layout but Google is gonna patch it D:

[TheAlsalaam]

[TheCassidy94]

@TheCassidy94 and 2007

[trappeddark1]

Erhem. Hate advertisements on Youtube videos? No problem! Ad-Block Plus will get rid of them for good! Now, shut the fuck up.

[MrMikeKule]

2009 was the best year of youtube.

[Danielt104]

2007

[0oDarkLordRevano0]

2007 YouTube was EPIC D:

[happysour420]

[Sunlilly2]

2007 was my absolute favorite... I still miss star ratings...

[BillKillerz]

you should make a n updated video my good sir because there's a new layout, oh great michealw352, and im complimenting you because apparently we need to get our comment approved now...

[Riushinn]

I like the new youtube layout...

[sailornaruto39]

ok, the old layout were fine, a little surprising and took sometime to get use to....but this layout takes the cake. And iam usually not the one to complain!

[Atticusmitchellfan]

i was on youtube on 2008 but yotube cancelled my channel so this is my new one 2008 

[WooLfeR2HoT]

2010 BEST youtube!!

[michaelw352]

@1999fordescort Thank you for pointing that out, sir.

[mangareader299]

[yeayeawateva1]

THAT IS JUST IT!!! i thought i wasn't gunna get anymore harassing comment from this vid but ta hell with it!!! I'M FUKING 13 YR OLD GIRL!!! STOP CRITIZING MEH!!!!

[benbenalen]

A iToast Too the future of YouTube

LIKE THIS IF YOU IF YOU WANT YOUTUBE TO CONTINUE FOREVER!!

[benbenalen]

YouTube to launch 100 online TV channels next month

[klappinsounds]

I don't know if I'm the only one, but not only do I hate trolls, but I hate the word "troll", especially its use on youtube. I remember when youtube was a place where we watched videos, gave our opinion, and weren't called "trolls" for it. Also, I hate going to a video but it's been removed for copyright infringement. I thought this was Youtube. YOU tube... not Vevo tube. haha

[michaelw352]

@klappinsounds I don't like the word troll either even though I have to use it sometimes and if you have to give your opinion online and be called a troll, then I guess that makes everyone that's ever been online since 2000, a troll.Most people that like to use words like "UMADBRO" or "TROLL" spend way too much time on a computer.

[klappinsounds]

@michaelw352 Agreed. I'll use it when I really really have to. "UMADBRO?" is just very annoying. Of course we're mad, kids are being little pricks. :)

[M4rkh0lm]

Wow man, a tip for next time... SPEED UP THE TEXT, jesus christ. I feel like I'm waiting for a snail to cross the sahara.

[SieghartzBR]

TIME TO USE THE MUTE BUTTOM AGAIN

[michaelw352]

@SieghartzBR I'm sorry if you don't like the song,but I guess I didn't have much of a choice.

[francisgaribayABC]

Remember when there were no whores asking for thumbs up?

[captainmo24480]

I don't care about the new layout is bothers everyone at first but then you get used to it and you don't care and forget the previous layout. I also think the like and reactions things are pretty cool. Plus do you think youtube cares whether or not a few people miss the old youtube? Not really because this one is probably better.

[aala12]

A good video, but crappy fucking ear-raping music to go along with it. PUT SOME DUBSTEP ON THIS SHIT!!!

[Sk8onURown]

@aala12 you, sir, suck ass at music taste. yes, dubstep is the shit, but this is very non-ear raping. in fact, this be amazin'.

[aala12]

@Sk8onURown I would reply back very nastily, but as so. The reason why I said this was ear-raping is because I am now sickened of it as it is now overly used in videos. I thought DubStep at the moment would be a proper solution to this audio as I have just takin' a liking to DubStep. I hope this is a good reply, and my music taste does not 'suck ass', I use to like this song track very much, but came to disliking it due to it's over-popularity. Thanks you sir, have a nice day.

[filmfreakout]

you forgot the youporn like timebar

[aivil0livia]

haha, i was listening to the song paralyzer when i thought, what did youtube used to look like? and i googled it and this vid came up and guess what song was playing with it? what a coincidence...!

[michaelw352]

@yeayeawateva1 Thanks for adding that comment.

[benry200]

@yeayeawateva1 Remember what AdBlock plus is?

Why does it matter who uploaded the video?

Who gives a shit where the info is?

The 1-5 star system sucks?

Who gives a shit what color the subscribe button is?

i do agree on the users control the sigh thing but yeah

[yeayeawateva1]

@benry200 rememeber wen i gave a shit

[fidle89]

@yeayeawateva1 The only thing I disagree with is the vevo and ads part, without them we would have to pay for our music / videos. It would turn into Vimeo...

Do you want that?

[Fugitive292]

@yeayeawateva1 those so called corporations are the ones that give you a free youtube sir

[yeayeawateva1]

@Fugitive292 few things...1.its a FREAKING RE-POST!! 2.i'm not a sir, in fact my parents don't even count me as a teenager!! so lay of i'm a kid and don't put all this on me there are tons of people that re-post this,so did this kid make a point....?

[Fugitive292]

@yeayeawateva1 hey man chill, everything is cool, no need to get mad :D

[yeayeawateva1]

@Fugitive292 srry i've been gettin' hated on and personally i dont like it the comments are not a drama show. :)

[benbenalen]

@yeayeawateva1

No way, why go back into the past, now is the future, we want more not less

[benbenalen]

@yeayeawateva1

We dont want the old one back, LIKE IF YOU AGREE!!! Old one had nothing but crap, today we can watch TV on here

[yeayeawateva1]

@benbenalen Theres a thing for that i think its called tele...television....TELE-FUCK­ING-VISION!!! get a fuking life. do you enjoy arguing witha fuking 13 yr old girl!!!

[benbenalen]

@yeayeawateva1

@yeayeawateva1

Hi, Excuse me. How was I meant to know your a 13 year old girl, i dont have magic powers to tell age. I dont harras people over YouTube specially little girls, who do you think I am. I have 4 kids for gods sake. I was just expressing the future of YouTube. That is all. Theres no need for that kind of language. SORRY.

[Riushinn]

@yeayeawateva1 I'm 17, a 13 year old shouldn't use that kind of vocabulary, grow up.

[cas123321]

@yeayeawateva1 seriously? a youtube revolution? grow up kid. we're lucky to even be able to watch free videos. retard.

[michaelw352]

@cas123321 I agree with you on that one, but I believe what he posted is a chain message going around YouTube.

[cas123321]

@michaelw352 I know but you're not forced to repost them

[yeayeawateva1]

@cas123321 its just a repost :(

[cas123321]

@yeayeawateva1 Well don't because they're idiotic.

[michaelw352]

@cas123321 I blocked her from commenting her so you wouldn't have to put up with her anymore. Your Welcome.

[cas123321]

@michaelw352 Thank you

[Acetittylicka]

@cas123321 shutup you know google has fucked up youtube.

now im fine with ads and shit but the layouts are getting terrible and commericals?

Really fuck that shit.

just have 3 little ads like it use to.

I dont want any tv commericals or layout fuck ups.

[cas123321]

@Acetittylicka Calm down. The only thing I agree with you on is the TV ads before the video. Other than that I don't care about the layout, it's not affecting my ability to watch a video. I don't care about the ads next to the video as long as they don't flash or distract me. If you hate the new YouTube layout so much why don't you go and create your own video sharing website and see if it's more appreciated by the public. YouTube still has millions of accounts and more are coming

[Davidgon100]

Remember when you could shut the fuck up

[schnockerface]

I want old youtube!! there should be an option to switch to older versions of youtube, like on twitter with the "switch to old twitter" button!

[TECfan1]

now its black.

[michaelw352]

I remember when you could actually comment on a video.When you give your opinion on a video,you get cussed at back and then you get trolled.YouTube needs to remove the reply button.

[thebestanthe3rd]

@michaelw352 i think its convenient

[xThizu]

cosmic panda is soo gay

[michaelw352]

@xThizu It does,especially the new channel remake.

[xThizu]

@michaelw352 indeed, when it changed to this layout alot of people complained, because they didnt know what to do with it, how to use it and stuff, but at the end, it only gave us more options, but cosmic panda is not like that, I dont hate it becuase its new and i need to get used to it, i hate it because it gives u less options, and it forces you to do certain things, like I never use playlist, but cosmic panda makes that a special part, you cant decide what you want yourself with cosmic panda

[Astronautical123]

they have just changed it in July of 2011!!!

[michaelw352]

@Astronautical123 Agreed.

[corey596]

@Astronautical123 didt have thumbs up in the old youtube

[michaelw352]

@corey596 nope,there were negative and positive numbers based on how many people voted on a comment.

[ENDORPHINSAM]

@Astronautical123 Youtube. The biggest video-sharing website to my knowledge. They need money to support Youtube to keep it fast. VEVO. If it wasn't for vevo music developers could Sue Youtube for being liable for users uploading copy-righted material. Oh wow, the info, it's on the bottom now, MAN SUCH A DRASTIC CHANGE. Uhm, it's a button. It has almost no meaning except for videos directed to your Youtube's HOMEPAGE. Users? controlled the site? Haha, Youtube has always been controlled by C.O.'s

[flimflabber]

@Astronautical123

Remember when faggots didn't copy and paste meaningless spam?

[MrJordanreed386]

@Astronautical123 u are a fuking dumbass stop your bitchy ass whining

[michaelw352]

@MrJordanreed386 Hey,calm down. Please leave nice comments ;D

[zuck956]

@Astronautical123 YES! we remember but without the commercials youtube could not pay for the website. The only reason they're uploaded by vevo is because of some copyright shit. I like the info on the bottom now its better. Its just stars besides you can thumbs up. What are you talking about? go on someones channel and see the subscribe bar is yellow but on vids its not. Its just a color GTFover it. Now people who post this comment STFU and deal with the fact that Youtube isnt gonna change back!

[fidle89]

@Astronautical123 The only thing I disagree with is the vevo and ads part, without them we would have to pay for our music / videos. It would turn into Vimeo...

Do you want that?

[TheSimsy95]

@fidle89 yes its better than watching vevo and ads

[Sabelaxx]

@Astronautical123 i miss the old youtube but the good thing about vevo is that vevo makes youtube free if it wasnt for vevo we would have to pay 5 bocks a month to watch videos thats why they put vevo commercials

[sparkybigptalkshow]

2008-2009 was the best

[thewhitegirlblues]

In my personal opinion, late 2008-early 2009 ws the best.

[michaelw352]

That's the way back machine.I have used it in the past and it's a great resource.

[qwerts619]

in my opinion, 2007's youtube was the best. even though I first saw YouTube in 2006. But I liked the 2007 one.

[xXhorizonXx97]

on ur iTunes :)

[SkaterboarderTapsu]

tutorial how to see any website in the past

/watch?v=pHtsNTA5qiA

[alexmonte21]

dont forget one thing about you tube the most importent thing about you tube bordcast yourself i cant belive no one has mentioned that the most importent thing about you tube was bordcast yourself sign they need that back as well

[Jakex09]

I saw youtube when i was in 2005 way back then. I was young and had no idea how to signup until 2007 on a different account, and it was weird cause the first video i saw was some girl reinacting pokemon theme song. lol.

[Howtotutorialz1]

2010 was the best i hate as it is now...when i click on my nick pop up nev window and this i hate :( can i get it back ?

[SkateborderX12]

2011.ITS CRAP.

[Howtotutorialz1]

@SkateborderX12 Yes i heta it also..

[myelim]

i have screen caps from my youtube layout in 2005. i might upload pictures

[michaelw352]

@myelim we'd love to see them here!

[CRYOmine]

2011. even worse.

[Alphahumphrey2011]

10 years later we will discuss how much we miss the 2011 layout

[scoles47]

@Alphahumphrey2011

more like 3 yrs

lol

[scoles47]

Thumbs up if the only thing bad on current youtube (as of may 28,2011) is the advertisements

[Jaws2blood1]

what's wrong with new youtube, besides ads?

[topotoonoon]

That must be the early 2007 layout. I discovered Youtube in late 2007 and it looked nothing like that.

[AlexGRFan97]

@topotoonoon Yeah they changed it alot during 2007. Trust me, i remember it vividly because 2007 was the year when YT peaked and took over Google Videos as the top video sharing site.

[Genocide2242]

youtube really let itself go...

[justin12399]

2005 layout was the best.

[DoctorWhoFan891]

I remember seeing the star ratings dont you that is what made YouTube it was so original but now its not its looking like Facebook and others dont you agree. And when YouTube was YouTube they didn't have VEVO and all other websites on there taking over. Its was uploaded by users thats why it was call You Tube you tube the video through now its just not as it used to be

[proFielders]

Remember:

when you could have your own music in your own vids, fuck off VEVO!

the famous yellow Subscribe! button

5 stars ratings

old layout

The only new thing that is good, is HD

[Noahmoody1999]

i kinda like it now

[gfcff]

2007 was my fav

[sparkybigptalkshow]

2007 #FTW

[sparkybigptalkshow]

2007 #FTW

[thegoodboysize1]

i wonder what it will look like in late 2011 or 2012



[xxCometbejerknxx]

new youtue is dumb as fuck

[Jmspud]

the new youtube has been shitty

[matrixfan127]

Hey guys, If you want to see stared video, I hope you havent updated your Ipod since 2009! or 2010... I cant remember...

[Cdinkha]

May 3rd,2010 ruined my life!

[marcsman229]

There were CNN youtube debates back then? Couldn't remember that

[INFORISISY]

The old layout was really small and cluttered.

Do you really want that back?

Though i do miss some of the features such as star ratings and such.

[NotoriousRID94]

People really want that ugly ass old layout back?

[BlondishTony]

it would be awesome if youtube change to their old layouts for one week :)

[Ragmaster1]

I miss the 2009 layout. Stars and everything precious. I miss the old youtube :(

[muffybear64]

ugh...please stop complaining about the layout ppl! at least youtube isn't an expired website! jus go with the flo!

[chriscicoria]

i joined in 2006

[huskyclaw]

current is the best. its more... slim (?)

[DarkFalcon732]

2007 & 2005

[xeleanorx123]

the layout is terrible now i want the old thumbs back:(

[FearAnEnd]

2007 for me. It's too much to do just to find the most views or stuff like that now. too many clicks.

[daredevil49937]

2005 is the best, and awsome song

[sparkybigptalkshow]

2007

[onturn7]

if anything they need to at least make a meh button like you didn't like it or hate it but 5 stars was the best

[bioshock901]

2008
