  • what is beta!? never even heard of it...

  • Everyone! If you want the old layout, go to Zippcast.com, it has it! spread the word, and leave youtube and join zippcast, lets make google pay!

    copy and paste! do your part

  • YT are sneaky monopolist autocratic shits that keep changing everything to suit themselves. I'm sick of it, but I've noticed how addictive it's become. How do you get away from it, even when you've other things in your life? Anything you want to hunt down from your past : " YouTube will have it ".

    And you'll never forget your first buzz on discovering it, too. I was a kid in a toy shop, but I hate them now.

  • ahh it feels so good listen ur words so much trueness

  • Adsense won't even approve accounts anymore unless your website brings in thousands of hits a day and your pr rated a 3 or more.

  • The newest channels BLOW.

  • I don't know what you guys are talking about, youtube has looked the same for me for the last 2 years. lol

  • Pretty much everyone is switched over now. Among the last to switch over were Crackle and ESPN.

  • The new channel cocked up my backround.

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

  • but the youtuber Crackle didnt change that lucky bastard xD

  • youtube was awesome before google bought it fuck the google im going yahoo

  • theres so much fucking glitches on this beta shit they should just switch it back.

    Thank U YouTube 4 ruining my channel may the devil be with u.

  • i hate the damn glitches in the channel i cant scroll down the videos /favorite due to the damn channel making the videos dissapear

  • That problem of the vids / favs dissapearing when you scroll was happening for me i was using internet explorer 8, switched over to fire fox and the prob was completely gone, try firefox!

  • The beta channels are so glitched!

  • They've forced us. They suck. They don't listen to the people who are involved (us).

    Kind of like Naziism isn't it?

  • Supporting on Godwin's law you fail..

    Still I hate the beta channels.

  • check out my channel for a guide to play playlists in a different window like the old way :D

  • Protest it. Everyone, protest beta channels.

  • I wish nothing but the worst of luck to the youtube staff for fucking up my channel....

  • Their just fuckng faggots, lmao I go switched on the 14th and I am not a partner, but I have 5,015 subs so I dont know lmao. I am really pissed.

  • i got like a heart attack when saw the abomination my channel has become

  • that is so fuckin not fair~~~~ fuk youtube!!!

  • seig heil youtube

  • it not called THIERtube its called YOUtube witch means it Y"OUR" website

  • fuck you youtube, i fucking hate you assholes! Why the fuck would you let us not pick our channels. the new channel is a fucking fail. oh my fucking god i just want to kill them all.

  • I thought they should give people the choice also, but.......that is just too easy......there would be nothing to complain about, and people love to complain....so they made it possible, to do so.

    I'm just glad we have this service, for free...

    Be well, and Happy... LouisaMayC' '..

  • I hear you and I have been content with my Beta channel and have had it set up like this since July. None of what you said however excuses the fact that this was FORCED upon us.

    The lack of choice for older channels is the big issue. Make the new channels beta and let the older channels that got used to how their channels look keep beta. That's a win-win situation for both sides.

  • Thank you :D As for myself, I freaked whenever I saw that my channel got changed because I had practically no idea that it was gonna happen. (I don't go on their blog much) So I looked up YouTube Channels Beta/whatever, found your videos, and I just wanted to say thanks soooo much for the information. 'Course, I wish I would have checked the blog sooner, but oh well.

  • @TheArchfiend by new or old channels you mean user's channels right?

  • I would just go to daily motion if there was no youtube, there are other non raped sites out there.

  • Hi, Thanks for that info...I am...very new to the internet....I got my first computer, about a year ago.....so I am still finding new sites, all the time.

    If you know other sites, as well could you also tell me about them ???... Other people might like to know about it too...Have a nice day......

  • You sir, are the worlds biggest fucking retard. These channels look like shit, are confusing as hell, and everyone hates them. We can fight this. Everyone send this video to all contacts! Our Only Hope is to make this a featured video!

  • Scratch that. We need to find a better video to make featured to show our hatred!

  • I think it's time to fucking SUE Google for this!!!! Who's with me?? All who are with me, Show me you are with me!

    VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!! TIME TO TAKE THE BETA CHANNELS DOWN FOR GOOD!!!!

  • i'll meet you there

  • Thanks pal. DOWN WITH THE BETA CHANNELS ONCE AND FOR ALL!!! :D

  • @LoggotyroX32 i'd rather have free sex :D

  • @LoggotyroX32 Not very successful, were you?

  • No0o0o0o0o

  • where can we find teh pones responsible 4 this shit? gonna bust their asses

  • they just switched mine...and they screwed up all my playlists...I HAD TO GO BACK AND PUT EVERYTHING BACK IN ORDER, IN PLAYLISTS, AND ADD THE INFO AGAIN. i wouldnt have been so mad if all that crap didnt happen

  • Fuckballs, i haz a beta channel.

  • Yo, I figured out how to make the boxes transparent. You can't read shit now, but at least they're are no more big orange boxes cluttering up shit.. I have most of my old page back. I still feel like I'm drinkin a Corona everyime I look at it. :)

  • I just got changed

    *tear*

  • youtube changed my channel :(

  • People, protest the fuck out of this change. That's only way we get want we want. This is just ignoring basically what we want, than what they want.

    Youtube basically could do anything they want on their site...and it's sucks.

  • In 2005 and 2006 Youtube was Shooting for the stars and moon. Now, in 2008 and 2009, Youtube is shooting for a black hole or the sun.

  • Youtube changed my channel earlier today (just like Darkspy946, the person below me).

  • I got betalized earlier today.

  • I just got switched over today. I hate it. It's ridiculous.

  • i just got beta

    i want my old 1 back

  • They changed my channel! I want the classic version!!

    Why can't they let us choose between the old style and the new? whats the point in forcing it on us? What's the big deal?

    We should all make a complaint to YT about this.

  • I want my old channel back, GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!

  • Fuck, Spain was changed to beta today

  • I reckon everyone who defends the new beta channels our one of those people who are getting money from youtube

  • these channels are so fucking gay...

  • the beta isn't even compatible with my PS3 browser .. :(

  • Machinima (a gaming channel and partners of youtube) have been switched over, they have banners and over 670,000 subscribers, they now have the beta channel.

    Why cant we have something left without YouTube changing it for the worst?

  • hehe my isnt changed yet =D

  • it hasent happend to uerope yet and uk my friend told me

  • Dude it's not all about YOU. Calm the fuck down.

  • K. What video did you just watch?

  • Yours, I just didn't need all the Itoljasos or the "deal with it or go away".

  • Oct 14? Mine got changed TODAY!

  • They just did it for me

  • Me too.. I hate it

  • No beta yet! trying to enjoy what I gots while I have what I gots.

  • Damn that sucks, and you were right from day one :X

  • hello archfiend, always like your stuff, but it seems like you are getting very stressed out lately. is your hair going gray?.. or Grey? depending on which part of the world you are from. hope you're still healthy and continue to make more great videos in the future. bye

  • Your voice sounds hilarious!!!!!!!!!

  • who cares..its thiertube they let u come on the site 4 free so shut up dumbasses! nice vid Arch

  • scary!

  • Google bought YouTube, and have been slowly turning it into...well...THIS! The crap we have now! Google had the rights to buy it, but, as almost everyone has been finding out, selling YouTube to Google was a big mistake on YouTube's part. If only a miracle would happen to get the original owners back. Then we might not have these problems. But, that will have to remain as a dream. R.I.P, YouTube 2006 - 2007...

  • If Google hadn't bought youtube, it probably would have gone extinct by now. Youtube is losing A LOT of money on bandwidth, certainly a lot more than what a couple of Paypal employees can afford.

  • why force us? I hate beta chans!

  • And yes the new channels are mehh ok but i still prefer the old ones...

  • I still have the old channel with alot of Subs Rofl = iWin!!!!!!!!!

  • please sign the petiton agianst the beta channels!

    The link is in my description!

  • A petition won't do anything.

  • I already have beta so why would i care.

  • l

    l

    V hi BF. lol

    I know right? I tried telling people they weren't stopping it, but NOOO one listens to us! I'm still pissed...but...I'll be ok...*sighs*

  • beta confuses the hell out of me -3- dont fix something that isn't broken jackasses

  • beta channels are not so bad now, they have fixed most of the bugs with it. So now the beta channels will be ok. Actually, my channel is on beta right now, one reason is that its not so bad anymore. Another reason is there is no way of stopping them, like you said its going to happen.

  • I swichet to the beta a while ago so im used to it now

  • Beta channels suck ass!

  • Even i already design my beta channel i still go back to my old version kinda sucks co'z my comp freeze in the new beta.

    Well if they decided to switch off all old version fine i'm just a member.

  • I knew it was gonna happen eventually as well.

    I too think Youtube shouldn't force their users to switch, especially without giving a reason.

    I have PMed their channel "Youtube" on this issue and didn't get a responce back. They should at least give us a reason.

  • Well, when I became a member, I was forced into Beta, so I'm stuck either way. It does suck, but I've got no choice in the matter, it seems... :(

  • it kinda of ok but i still dont like the beta channels as much the old is way easier

  • I ll get as pissed off as

    I want

  • i like the new channels i mean you'll be able to watch everything from your channel witch is really cool, and so what if they are trying to make everything more organized,so sweet.

    and blah and good work and yata yata oodles of noodles and pizza pie..and(fades away into nothing)

  • Beta Channels are awful!

  • what is beta

  • FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK

  • shit

  • Well, the ONLY thing I DO NOT like about this switch is that the BETA channels have a teensy-tiny picture of whatever your accounts default picture is,and if you drew something with text,some people might DEFNATELYNOT be able to read that text :(

  • FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU­-

  • GODDAMNIT!!!!!!!!

  • I knew that it was going to happen.

  • BAYTAAAAH!!!

  • 30th september is my birthday

  • wow...great birthday present

    my b-days on the 15th of october

  • I really like how people always swear every other word. Yeah, it's just grand. It's also extremely un-necessary. I fully understand why people do it in reality. When they get real mad, they might slip. But this is A WEBSITE! YOU AREN'T TALKING, YOU'RE TYPING! AND UNLESS YOU'RE DRUNK, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU TYPE BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONE TYPING IT! SO TECHNICALLY YOU'RE DOING IT ON PURPOSE! That's just sad. Really, really sad.

  • Of course I'm doing it on purpose, why wouldn't I?

    I find the swearing enhancing my point in the most delicate and beautiful way. I write alot of poems with swearings in them, it's part of the language and it's just silly to reject it as a bad thing.

  • beta sucks: it sucks: it never works: it always fails at loading videos: and grid view is even worse:

  • @deathisonmyside: that would be your computer that sucks.

  • no my cpu is fine

  • youtube= nazi punks

  • I'm not a huge fan of the new channel format. You can't see when videos were uploaded and sometimes my browser crashes.

    They said the same thing a few months ago, though, set a date and everything, but I was eventually able to switch back to the old format after the first switch. I don't know what to believe anymore. Youtube's administration needs to get it's head out of its fucking ass.

  • Beta channels SUCK

  • Youtube fucking sucks. HAVEN'T THEY EVEN BEEN READING THE FUCKING COMMENTS ON THEIR VIDEO!?

  • Eh, I switched over to the beta months ago as well.

    I never really experienced any glitches. :/

    There honestly not that bad.

    I do think they should make it optional, but whatever.

  • To me it was not a matter of IT but a matter of WHEN YouTube was finally going to push everyone to the new beta. I'm getting used to the beta to be honest so its not as bad as it once was when it started. Still could be better but its not horrible either.

    PS - Archfiend Is Still God!

  • how bad is the beta channels anyway

  • NOOOOO!!!!! MY 310blue013 CHANNEL IS GONNA BE FUCKED UP!! NOOOOO!!!!! FUCK YOU BRIAN GLICK!! FUUUUUUCCKK!!!!!

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa­aaaa......!!!

    *runs off screaming*

  • YouTube 2.0 Beta Channels. They Suck. I'm A YouTube Partner That Isn't Afraid To Say So! Are You?

    Ahem?

  • Yeah, and?

    When they were packed with glitches they sucked as I demonstrated in that video. Now they got the glitches fixed and it is a totally workable channel format. Still doesn't change the fact that I like the old style better though.

  • Good point......

  • Arch, if you hate what youtube is doing all the time, why do you continue to stay on it?

  • All the time? Explain what you mean by that.

    I don't even hate the new Beta channels. I've been saying that all along.

  • Comment removed

  • FUCK YOURSELF! WE CARE. so you like them. we fucking HATE THEM STFU AND GO AWAY

  • Wow. You have to be one of the stupidest fucking people ever.

    I like the new channels, you hate them.

    Great.

    But you just have to be an asshole.

    Get a life.

  • your the one being an asshole. we want a choice, you dont want us to have one. if you would just say "i like the new channels, id thumbs down you and be over it. but to say who cares, is ignoring thousands and thousands.

  • what if mine is already switched?

  • what do you think then?

  • Sad but true.

  • Oh well, all good things must come to an end.

  • personally i prefer the old channel design, but if this is inevitable, then oh well, it could be worse

  • I hate that they won't let us stay upgraded to the 1.0 design.

  • People are getting pissed off?

    Who cares.

  • its scary how much u look like my dad :S

  • I have something to tell you...

  • what is that then lol XD

  • This is exactly the same as the change in Arch's picture conflict. We are you used to the old channels, so thats why we like them better than the beta channels. If the beta channels had been first, and they were going to change it to the original design, we all would be bitching about it all the same.

  • Well, all I can say is that I hope these beta channels don't work like shit for me.

    Either way, I wonder how many people will actually leave yt and never come back again.

  • I think the biggest deal that people had with the BETA channel was the way it LOOKED. Like myself I'm crazy on designing all my pages like myspace and youtube so I was really upset with the channel BEFORE. But they have really improved. At this point there is transperancy and all the bugs that it had are gone. Trust me that a lot of people that switched to BETA once the changes were made have some of the awesomest looking channels right now! Quit complaining! It's really not bad at all...

  • Youtube: Broadcast yourself, our way. Nazis.

  • why would youtube care, what difference does it make to them if all the channels are beta?

  • That's a good question that YouTube has never come clean with and answered.

    They really should explain why these channels have to be FORCED to change. Clearly the majority doesn't like them so there must be a motive to MAKE you change.

  • well i suppose so, im just not sure what that motive could possibly be

  • Agreed. I understand why they want to change this. At the least they can make new channels mandatory beta and give the old accounts the choice.

  • i don't know why some people have to bitch oh the beta channel sucks well i like the beta channel u lot who keep bitching just accept it or leave and stop crying like a schoolgirl

  • It may sound a bit late, and has been asked a million times by now

    But why exactly do they force the Beta channels on us? Are they bad for the website or something?

  • well, at least they work now

  • GOD Dammit this fucking sucks I hate the god dam beta

  • meh. beta is better than the original channels imo. but i guess people are just afraid of change.

  • I don't blame people for being pissed. No matter how you slice this, it is uncalled for that YouTube is FORCING this change. That's my only real gripe at this point.

  • yea i agree. i do like the beta channels, but forcing people to have them isn't right.

  • People listen, but really they aren't. You can tell them exactly whats going on and they still act surprised when it actually happens. I have way too many examples of this, online and off.

  • Beta sucks.

    bbl Revver.

  • dammit

  • ... i didnt really care that much for your video last week because i didnt see any official announcment by google so i kind of just forgot about it :P

  • Tsk tsk. Never doubt my words for I am a god among men. Or something or other.

  • Meh, I've been on beta for over a month anyways... not going to be any different for me.

  • I've gotten used to design, but I feel bad for those who don't like it.

  • What I recommend is for you to just go beta now, and set up your channel beforehand.

  • Exactly.

    There is literally NO POINT to keep the old style. Might as well just get your fans up to speed with what it is going to look like no matter what now.

  • Yup....To all the people complaining...Deal with it.  Switch now, set up your background or whatever, and just get used to it.

  • i knew it would it happen, im not happy about it but i wont complain about it
