[QUOTE=_NewBee;33539001]The new design is way better.
This is how it always goes with everything.
A new update comes out, people bitch about how it will be the end of the world and all.[/QUOTE]
People don't bitch about things just because they're new. People bitch about things because they suck. Saying "oh you just don't like it because it's new" is just ignorant.

Not everything that is new is dumb, but people still bitch about it.
This is the first time I've actually liked a Youtube change. It looks fantastic.
I like it but it's fucking cluttered.
I don't know what you guys are talking about, the new design is fucking great
The old YouTube was fucking horrific, I had no clue WHAT was going on, and the front page was absolutely useless. For some reason they thought it was a better idea to show me RayWilliamJohnson's new uploads rather than my fucking subscriptions and friends, now they've sorted everything properly and made the front page useful again.
I also like how someone in the thread acted like they're an authority on the matter because they're a web developer. As [i]another[/i] professional web developer, I say the site looks nice.
Surprise surprise, the redesign really fuckin sucks. Will people ever stop trying to fix what isn't broken?
[quote]But I like it - it feels fresher and more up to date and the shift to channels helps YouTube move towards professional programming to create a more TV like service.[/quote]
I use youtube because it's [i]not[/i] like a TV service. TV services are shit.

No, people are complaining because the layout fucking sucks. Just because you like it doesn't mean you can dismiss otherpeople's opinions a 'bitching'. Especially when it seems to be the majority of people who dislike it.

It looks incredibly sensible and easy to navigate. And it looks like it's easier to find good videos.
I absolutely hate this UI.
It looks claustrophobic in some places while it has tons of wasted space in others.
You can't remove subscription videos you watched.
It's fixed width and very narrow.
It has this weird black and white color scheme where it can't decide if it wants to be a light or a dark theme.
Overall I don't see why they would change the past UI. Or atleast I hope they fix this one. Each new UI so far has sacrificed more and more usability.
Why didn't they fix the comments instead? It's so annoying to see someone reply but you don't know what they replied to. Make it so that when you press the @ you can see the original post.
Ok, rather than just saying it sucks, why don't I explain why I think it sucks.
Left side, that's actually fine. Cool, it's well organized and all that.
The middle, holy jesus. Individual videos take up waaaay too much space. Picture is too big, we don't need the description, why can't it just be like on the right. You'll show us way more videos with way less scrolling and clutter. Besides that, I liked my subscirptions organized by who uploaded them, not by when they were uploaded. It means some place that uploads like 20 videos a day has complete control of what I see and I miss videos from more infrequent uploaders.
The right side is the worst. Recommended videos rarely if ever have anything good, it doesn't deserve it's own side of the webpage. Also I can no longer see why it's recommended. I get sent a lot of bad videos through forums and IMs and such, so chances are the reason this video is recommended is because it's a crappy video related to another crappy video.
Would be cool if it were designed for 1080p :downs:

Cool hypocrisy yo
Both Facebook and Youtube have a problem understanding the phrase "If it ain't broke, [B]don't fix it[/B]."

it's a good thing I guess
Thread title should be "youtube rolls out shite redesign"
I just hate how I can't get rid of videos on the front page anymore, they don't go away when watched and there is no [x] anymore...
I [I]hate[/I] that your favorites autoplay and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
Hey Youtube, I want to watch just one of my favorites, not my entire fucking playlist of 1000+. Stupid cunts.
What exactly is wrong with the new site design? I have never used the front page for anything, and I never will. It's always been full of shit I don't want to see. So I don't have an opinion on that, but I think the video page is quite nice.
ITS SHIT !
[QUOTE]A channel is a curated list of video clips chosen by a specific YouTube member or celebrity.[/QUOTE]
No. No it isn't.
The homepage looks great now, it all looks pretty clean, and sorted out. Everything is accessible from there now.
But the channel layout? No. Just no.
They turned YouTube into a vlog-site. 4 out of the 5 layouts you can choose from almost REQUIRE you to sort ALL your videos into playlists. The last one turns ALL your videos into a giant preview, and if the video is low res, it's going to look HORRIBLE in the preview. They're pretty much the "perfect size" for vloggers, is what I'm saying.
And then there's the lack of customization. The only thing you can change now is your background image. Everything else is stuck on that disgusting grey-black combination. You can't make the layout as you wish anymore. Accessing channel comments is a pain, finding the right video is a pain. When they made this layout they thought of it as user-friendly. Yeah, maybe for people who are NEW to the internet, but to the people who frequent YouTube and constantly upload content this is a NIGHTMARE. It's HELL.
Sadly we all know Google and YouTubes staff never listens to their community. This has happened 4 times already (if not more), and it's going to happen again. This "Beta-testing" is just nicer way to say "Try our shit out before we force it on you".
If I ever were to meet the lead designer for YouTubes layout in real life, I would kick him so hard in the nuts his [I]grandchildren[/I] would become sterile.
I like it. Except for the compressed Subscriptions box. And the inability to remove videos from it. And the new channel design. And the pointlessly space-wasting right side of the front page.
Okay maybe I don't like it. Still, probably one of the prettiest updates since they killed the original layout.

Agreed, when you've subscribed to almost 600 channels like me, it's a total mess.
Why did they feel the need to stop listing videos under channel names, and then say it's "easier to find new videos in subscriptions"?
Why cant they make it toggle-able? Myspace did that for a bit? It seems like it would be in everyone's best interest.
look at this shit
