On 8th October 2009, my channel and the channels of many others were forcibly changed over to the new Beta design without our consent or prior knowledge. This was an extremely shady and underhand tactic by YouTube, and I am not happy with it.
Regardless of whether you like the Beta designs or not, you must understand that it is VERY, VERY WRONG for YouTube to just force us to change without listening to our opinions. We should have the choice of whether we want to use them or not.
Please do everything you can to get this message out to the public and get the message out that we, the users of YouTube, will not tolerate being forced into using a design that we do not want to us.
I am not saying that the new channels are the worst thing since Satan, I am simply saying that it is wrong for us to be forced into using them. Quality doesn't come into it. I personally prefer the old channels, but that's an entirely different matter.
We should not be forced into this.
Please leave a video response, a comment, or contact YouTube directly by posting on their blog, sending their staff an email, or even phoning them up.
We need to let it be known that we will not tolerate having something that not everybody wants being forced upon us. Please do whatever you can to get the word out.

You can send a message to their official YouTube channel (yeah, they have one... Kinda lolworthy if you ask me). I'll post the rest of the contact details up on this vid. once I get them.
Oh man, I feel so lucky they haven't changed mine yet. I hope youtube will actually let people choose, I love the original design much much more than this new one. =(
Nothing will get done if we just complain about it, though. We need to spread the word: numbers always count for something, and the more people we have commenting, messaging and leaving responses the more we can show YouTube that we will not stand for their dictatorial policies.

Howcome youtube has picked only SOME channels to go in beta while the rest still have the old one. THATS SO UNFAIR!
if anyone knows how to messege youtube please tell me.
I don't like being forced into it.
Myspace made their 2.0 optional why can't youtube do that.

Anyway, I totally agree man. That's why I say we need to do what we can to get in touch with YouTube and make them listen to us.
