Link to original post: The new Youtube layout




WHAT​



No, seriously. I honestly I was able to put up with Pootube's other so-called "updates"(Hell, I even didn't mind the Beta channel) but Jesus Christ, I cannot think of anything positive about this cluster****. The new rating system is bullcrap, the comment system has now de-evolved a confusing and crappier version of twitter with horrible organization and indentation, ****ing BUTTONS EVERYWHERE, it loads slower, everything's made way to complicated to do, F*CK, everything about it is AWFUL.


I would go complain to Google about this, but let's face it: Google has their head jammed way to far up their arses to care about what their users actually think. They're not going to give a sh*t now, and they never will. Sad, isn't it.

Also, this post made me realize how much I hate the censorship policy here. Mother****ing **** ****s.

Doesn't really matter now, since it just crashed.



And it just came back. Hmmm. Go figure.

Don't self censor.

It's pretty obvious that ****ing is an f-bomb anyway.

I have hated all the updates they've made lately, though the new channels less-so because they were optional.
What the hell is this ****.

That picture was funny.

The update really hit me by surprise, but I'll get used to it (I hope).

First things that sucks is that I don't know how to find my home page.

With as glitchy as the comments section was (not to mention eye-sore, but meh I'm a masochist), it was simple to keep up with and it just took a matter of seconds to get around the messed up parts (assuming your internet connection speed isn't crap).

Now it just... meh... I hope I can get used to this...

Youtube wouldn't change the format unless they tested it and found it was better.

Change happens; move on.

And by "better", they mean, "better for their advertising revenue."

With this new rating system, it's much harder to weed through the crap, meaning ****y sponsor videos can get more attention now that people won't be turned away by it's obvious 1-2 star rating.

I could also probably think of a good related reason for messing up the comments section, but really, the most likely reason is because it looks kinda like Facebook and Twitter (BECAUSE THOSE ARE ALL POPULAR WITH THE KIDDIES AND SUCH RIGHT LOL.) but complete crap.

♣ Color poster. <3 ♥

♣ Only thing I like in Youtube now would be the rating system, other than that I can't handle how they got the new layout. I didn't think they needed a change. ♥

Does anyone know of a good alternative to Youtube? I am ready to migrate to another site. :}

I thought is was a joke at first...

I hated it but it's grown on me quite quickly. Now I kind of like the new layout :/

@Kinzer: That's another thing I hate about the new layout. They force you to go through every page just to look at a comment you want to reply to or laugh at. No 500 post per page that we used to get by a click of a button.

@Skrlx: What about Dailymotion? I have an accont there under the name supersmashbrosfan1994.

perhaps... maybe my mk64 vids while simultaneously playing the latest mainstream music will get some love there hah

P.S. is it just me or when viewing a video, after it's over, ALL buttons on the page are locked? As in you click them and nothing happens. Also, when I go to type a comment it lags like crazy.

Not going to lie, i did a major eye-roll when i saw the update (since most of the last facebook changes have annoyed me), but i LOVE the new layout.
Things i like the most:
-now able to play next in favorites without navigating multiple pages
-Auto-play option (ALWAYS wanted this, very handy for long study nights)

Overall i think it just looks much cleaner
