I'm not very good at writing formal letters, and I dont want to come off as a whiner, but there are certain changes that have recently been made to this website that I dont favor.

The first of which I would like to address being that now, instead of having your inbox conveniently laid out for you on the main page, YouTubers now loose an extra step, and have to click on their username, which instead of taking them to their profile as one would expect, now gives a list of options which once upon a time were conveniently displayed at the top of the page.

Another recent update that I dont see the point in is that the video responses are now being mixed in with the comments. It used to be that the video responses, and the text comments were segregated into two sections, making it easier to find a certain video response that you, or someone else made. But now that the video responses have been thrown into the text comments section, being that there are normally more comments than there are video responses, the videos become lost in a sea of words.

As far as the like and dislike thing goes, I dont see much of a problem here. But it still seems that YouTube is obsessively changing itself simply for the sake of change. Is YouTube trying to become the new Facebook?

I know that in six months or so, YouTube will most likely change yet again for better or for worse. However, I hope that the brain behind YouTube will take this letter into consideration for the good of the website. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Me

P.S.
I do dig the new logo, but dont be surprised if you one day find me popping up on LiveLeak.

  • What would be funny is if when you woke up this morning it all changed back to normal with a big APRIL FOOLS on the front of the website.

  • @CosmosOfBeauty That really would have made my day, even though we're not supposed to have a sunny day for the next two weeks or so. I hope we get some sunshine soon, so that the plants can grow, even though I'm still just tilling the land right now. The rototiller broke, so I have to do it the old fashion way now, which I guess isn't too bad, being that we used to do it that way all the time.

  • @CosmosOfBeauty It gives you something to live for for awhile. You can wake up at three am, and say "hey! I don't have to go back to bed! I've got a garden to till!!!" In the words of Neil Young, "Homegrown's alright with me/Homegrown is the way it should be/Homegrown is a good thing/Plant that bell, and let it rain".

  • I'd probably post a video called "Another Open Letter to the YouTube Administration" complaining of how the "APRIL FOOLS" message is blocking my view, and distracting me, and then mow the lawn, or something like that.

  • Funny. The only new thing on this website I liked was the new logo, which is the only thing that they changed back to normal. The YouTube Administration is out to get me.
