Thanks Youtube!

I am so happy that you changed your layout without any heads up! I so enjoy the new convoluted navigation scheme and the things that I used to be able to do that I can't anymore. And thanks for no new functionality.

Good job! Keep it up! You've surpassed Facebook in unwarranted updates!

Leave Facebook out of this! Maybe you don't care what your second cousin twice removed had for dinner three nights ago, but that's not the case for all of us!

Yup I agree - the "improvement" is annoying :no:

So much white space..I'd hate to see how it looks on my 32".

Now I need to find my laptop and check this out.. I'm so use to only using my phone to do everything that most of these updates don't effect me.

All the white space! I hate it.

Whoa that does look kinda weird raptor lol

That was on my laptop, by the way which has a 1440x900 resolution.

You should see it on 1920 x 1080.

Where'd the recommended videos go?

I'm tempted to snag an HDMI cable from the other room and see how it looks on my 32".

They changes it while I was on YouTube. I was tripping . But yeah the updates are beyond annoying and they don't even deliver what the people want (likes and dislikes in the thumbnail)

I was wondering about this cause I built my new ivy bridge rig with windows 8 one night and then I go to youtube and it's massively different than it was hours before lol...

It's not obvious. There is no main link for them. But in the main video feed are subscriptions and recommended. It's will say something like "Recommended for you because you watched " and you can click on "Recommended" to get all the Recommended videos.

Any change to anything will anger some people. Same thing with the new iPhone and using a new plug. Change happens, roll with it! If you get mad over the layout of YouTube, I would hate to see you when you get in a car accident or a favourite restaurant closes.

Youtube has changed a hundred times and every time people freak out. And every time they say "why didnt you leave it how it was." And every time they survive. I don't hear anyone saying "take youtube back to what it looked like before the first update" ...I wonder why that is.

I have sensitive eyes. Many times when going outside, where other people can see fine, I'm blinded and in pain. Certain color schemes for websites do the same, and one of these schemes is a large amount of white. I'm also looking at things from the perspective of a webpage designer. It just looks tacky to have that much wasted white space. Not to mention, it's very, very easy to put in a tag or two that causes the web[age to stretch, or condense to fit whatever the user's resolution is. As it stands, it looks like it was designed for someone who uses 800x600. Most people use widescreen.

Also, of course I'd be upset if I was in a car accident, who in their right mind wouldn't? It's a massive headache. Not only do you have to deal with a damaged vehicle (and repairs if their minor enough), if the damage is severe enough, not only do you have to get a new vehicle, you get to do something with the totaled vehicle. To top things off, there's dealing with insurances, finding out who was liable for the accident, removing the old vehicle, adding the new one, dealing with potential price hikes. I'm ignoring the potential for injury and the resulting problems with that.

Let me just say that I am definitely not one to complain about changes made. I was the one making fun of all those people whining about the Facebook Timeline.

That has changed though. Both YouTube and Facebook have changed their layouts only to make more money... like they need it.

For instance, facebook now puts an advertisement to the right of nearly every damn picture. And this new youtube layout requires many more page clicks to do what should be immediately available. This is all just a money scheme. It's ugly, wordy, difficult to navigate, etc.

Ugh.

If you don't like the white there are ways to change your colour schemes with add-ons for Firefox.
Just a thought :)
I happen to like the changes! ESPECIALLY when you are watching a playlist.. the bottom bar was annoying.
It's much cleaner and crisp.

Given that the layout just changes, it's going to take a few days for the addons to catch up.

It's not just the fact that it changed. I work in IT. Changes happen all the time. But changing stuff just for kicks is bad. Likes it's not obvious to see your recommended vids. And it took a day of randomly clicking on things to find the Top Viewed list and now I forgot what I did to get to it. Changes should happen because the user(s) requested it not just because someone at the company thought it might be a good idea.

It is now easier to navigate YT from my Xbox than it is from my browser.

Change doesn't always equate to improvement. You're supposed to complain if you don't like the new layout and if you love it you're supposed to express that too. How else are developers supposed to know what works for their fan base?
