Google makes youtube even more impossible to use. (comment changes) - Polidicks

[QUOTE=matt000024;42792714][url]http://www.youtube.com/t/contact_us[/url] Where do I send direct feedback to? It is like they do not want complaints so made it overly complex.[/QUOTE] they removed feedback [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaUWgOn6SIo[/media] The "Send Feedback" page has been removed basically [url]http://www.google.com/tools/feedback/intl/en/error.html[/url]

Google has been trying to force people to use its shit more and more as years go on. I.E. its pretty much impossible to use the full suite of google calendar/gmail/contacts/etc and have it actually sync up like you can do with every other service out there unless you do it directly through google/android now, even though you used to be able to do this. They also purposefully gimp programs/apps they make on other platforms that aren't android, as well occasionally witch hunt against 3rd parties that attempt to circumvent the lack of interest Google has outside of android. Google is turning into a company where unless you are using their services to its fullest (being a G+ member, having an android phone) they want to make life hell for you or as inconvenient as possible. They simply can't accept the fact that people don't want to 100% fully integrate into everything google is and does. Its so different than what they were a few years ago.

YouTube, just thanks so much for this update. I honestly felt that the comments were lacking content from a Google-circlejerk social network that no one uses. The fact that now comments are mixed in with shares and comments from Google+ makes me absolutely ecstatic. Oftentimes I feel that YouTube just needs to be less intuitive if you know that I mean! The layout is a clusterfuck already, the video player takes multiple clicks just to switch the quality, annotations are disabled by default, uploading custom thumbnails is broken on Chrome and a number of other issues exist, but we need more. I understand you need to push YouTube to it's outer limits in marketing advertisements and washed-out YouTube celebrities who receive millions of views on low quality content. So on behalf of me and nobody on the face of this fucking planet, Thanks, Go burn in hell with Buzz and Wave

Why can I only reply to this one person at the top? :v: [img]http://puu.sh/5bMbm[/img]

On this video I see the previous comment system and it got me thinking Google might have done something good and reverted their changes. [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljCj01WIZ-Y[/URL] but nope, just that video infact it seems to be fine on a lot of PC Gamer videos

Uh, I can click the Send feedback link with no problem. It's a javascript window, so maybe NoScript or ABP is blocking something, for some reason.

This playstation commercial video is still in the original format? [IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/27xl7w7.png[/IMG]

How the hell am I supposed to reply to comments now. It only shows the option for certain posts.

this is the stupidest comment system ive ever encountered.

Thank god YouTube has a feedback system. [t]http://i.imgur.com/mreTcKi.png[/t]

I seriously hate Google+. I would be totally okay with Google+ if it wasn't so strict about forcing me to display a real name rather than a nickname, or if it at least didn't automatically use my email to link itself with my youtube account to start pestering me with requests to display my real name. My real name is private info I do not feel comfortable sharing with complete strangers in an informal public environment. I do not particularly want people to connect my real name with my youtube account, and neither do I particularly want strangers to connect my youtube account to my real name. I also don't want to use my real name for Google+ as some shitty Facebook alternative, the only goddamn reason I made an account was because my friend kept nagging about the voicecall feature supposedly being better quality than skype. For now my temporary solution was simply to give my Google+ account a generic as fuck fake Swedish sounding name

I kinda like some parts of the g+ stuff, I was able to change name to my current username, neat.

GRRRR NOW I CANT TELL PEOPLE HOW FUCKING WRONG THEY ARE!

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/n8DVspr.png[/IMG] Anybody know how this work? I've only made one comment since the terrible update [editline]8th November 2013[/editline] Is it because I rated up posts or something?

Bitching won't change anything, if you don't like YouTube try an alternative. "But everyone worth watching is on YouTube" That's because everyone uses it, including you. Of course, YouTube partners are probably fucked; but with the new g+ integration they're going to get fucked either way. The truth is, YouTube as it is now is an unstable, unreliable video site that is slowly becoming a Facebook clone. Funnily enough, the path it's taking is not too dissimilar to the route MySpace took when it abandoned it's original music sharing format.
