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

Does this mean we're going to see RWJ's comments on everything since he whores himself on youtube? Oh I'm a popular personality here, I bet the most popular. So if I just get a bot to comment on all these videos 24/7 more people will see and migrate to me!

Comments don't even load for me but then again I could never see them due to the huge player size.

[QUOTE=TheJoker;42782846]Comments don't even load for me but then again I could never see them due to the huge player size.[/QUOTE] See my earlier reply, Adblock Plus blocks the comment section from loading somehow. Hopefully they'll fix it if possible. That's what it is for me anyway.

There's no way google is going to stick with this, I mean past youtube updates have received negative responses but not as much as this.

[t]http://u.cubeupload.com/TheJoker/LiXhgq.png[/t] This is all I see when I view videos on Youtube. Sorry for the video... just picked a random one.

Wow, people hate it so much they've made a petition to make google change it back. [url]https://www.change.org/petitions/google-change-the-youtube-comment-section-back-to-its-original-form#share[/url] It's only been like four hours.

I don't even see the big deal, you can keep your username and still sort comments by newest if you want

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;42782877]There's no way google is going to stick with this, I mean past youtube updates have received negative responses but not as much as this.[/QUOTE] They don't change much when they roll out an update. The last thing I remember being added and then removed was the whole "Response" thing where you would respond to a video with things like "WTF", "LMAO", and things.

[QUOTE=Furnost;42781763]just use [url=http://www.youtube.com/feather_beta]feather[/url][/QUOTE] Holy shit this is so nice.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;42782895]I don't even see the big deal, you can keep your username and still sort comments by newest if you want[/QUOTE] They completely removed top comments and uploader responses, and any comments that were posted before the update can no longer be replied to or rated.

am I being dumb? I cant see where you can reply to comments now

All I see is a blank space where the comment section used to be, how do I get it back? [editline].[/editline] Wow, I disabled ad-block and then the comments appeared. Great. Wtf.

[QUOTE=mokkan;42781799]The box to link g+ and youtube wouldn't go away, so I did it with a name change at the same time, and what it really did was create a youtube account for my gmail account and deleted access to my youtube. It took me forever to get access to my account back. I'm a youtube parter, a small one, but still a partner, so I guess support where more willing to suck my dick a bit, god help you if you aren't. I wish it happened to a massive personality so there was more outrage about it.[/QUOTE] If you delete your Gmail when its connected to a youtube account, it'll scramble your password. IIRC

Youtube just keeps getting shittier each year.

I honestly can't even recognize the site when I disable that youtube center addon That new hashtag stuff is pulling comments directly from google+ more than anything else with this new comment system, so if you mention anything like #yogscast or whatever the hell, it drops that onto a random yogscast video like it would a twitter mention in your direction, [U][I][B]and half of the comments are from people who haven't even watched the damn video because of this.[/B][/I][/U] links are now a thing that can just be dropped in, again thanks to taking the framework from g+, and i've never seen more spambots in my entire youtube history than I have in the few hours since this "feature" launched Not even to mention if I want to comment on anything, it pulls up that damn box telling me to create a g+ page, even though I've dismissed the thing and even received the "we'll ask you again later" message, and I can't fucking comment on my own videos anymore. Don't try to tell me that I should just "create a g+ page" and get it over with, because last time I did that, [B]it hid all of my videos from public view making the channel essentially nonexistent[/B], giving me two separate 'channels' for both my youtube account and my g+ account. I basically lost access to my entire account for 2 whole days, until I managed to figure out the backwards ass unlinking method that seems to change for everyone depending on their country. Youtube has been like the only place I've been able to upload stuff I've enjoyed creating, and both as a reason to create things and learn about visual effects, it is responsible for how much I know about video editing. It's becoming unusable now, and I really, really do not want to see it die.

We need a #fuckyoutubeupdates and #hastagssuck. Hopefully that will get Youtube to stop adding this shit. If I wanted to use Google+, I'd go to Google+ not Youtube.

Welp, good thing adblock can just block the comments section from loading.

Also the comment display button will not work in Steam browser so I cannot make it display most recent comments.

I feel like they are purposely trying as hard as they possibly can to make YouTube worse in each update. When was the last time they actually improved something?

Well my script that removes the comment section worked wonders, and I'll continue to never read the comments on anything ever, weee

People are putting the new "links inside of comments" feature to good use, it seems. [t]http://i.imgur.com/ncgZopq.png[/t] Also, more spam bots [t]http://i.imgur.com/Zej1M0H.png[/t] This one is just what the fuck.

wtf so i decided to break down and choose an option to rename my username, and now i have like two new google+ pages not to count the one that's connected to my gmail account that's connected to my youtube holy shit what a clusterfuck

This may or may not be a good thing: When you click on a time in a comment ("2:25 was great!") it opens it in a new tab now.

Why the heck does adblock block the comments section.

[QUOTE=Uber_Tofu;42783142]Why the heck does adblock block the comments section.[/QUOTE] Here's a fix that worked for me. Go to your adblock options and in the "filters list" tab and press "Update Now".

Eh I only have a YouTube account to subscribe to channels, comment section is always a shitstorm anyway. The whole "you have a youtube account? get google+ now! oh you don't want it? we'll ask you again later!" is infinitely more annoying than the comments change.

I try to switch to the G+ version of my channel and it's just has everything removed. My subs are gone, my likes/playlists are gone, everything. Is there an import button i'm just missing?
