Hahano. It can BURN. Seriously, for some reason i one day got something so similar to that new layout before it was even RELEASED. And i can tell you it did, and it still does, run so damn slow on my computer. Why not just keep the old system? OR EVEN LET US CHOOSE WHICH TO USE!? I mean, its bad enough that in some cases the video buffer would say its much more ahead than it really was, and thus continously stop. But now 3/4's of the videos i watch won't even LOAD. Not only that, i can't favorite it a video because the damn "Save to" option doesn't actually do anything at all. youtubes been failing so much since google took over. I can deal with the layout itself, and the autoplay since you can toggle it on or off, but the fact that i can't even save to favorites is just bull.

I doubt it's an april fool's joke. They've had a beta out for it for months. They randomly selected users (of which I was one) and forced them to use the new layout. I've been putting up with it since February.
Oh sweet baby JuiceBox.
You mean we're stuck with this...
This thing?!

4. What if i Like this person's work and want to see more, before I -might- subscribe?
Above the video is the person's username and next to it is a button that expands with his other videos.
Oh, thanks ;_;

Oh damn, that's permanent now?

I guess it's alright, rather confusing but I'll adapt.

*EDIT* Oh god nevermind, this is awful.

Meh.
Why'd they have to alter it anyway? Worked fine the way it was.
I'll adapt to the new layout, but I don't see why this was necessary...

I really don't like auto-play. I have a bad habit of opening links without looking at them so it always scares the crap out of me when a video suddenly starts playing. It does look like they still sort of have the more from this user though. At the top, right above the video, it gives the users name and number of videos. You then you click on the arrow (next to the number of videos) to expand and see their other vids.

I really don't care though. I like the old layout more, but I don't see much point in getting angry over a site where 50% of the videos I watch are songs I like and the other 50% are videos of people acting like morons.

That's what it looks like from where I'm standing.
Hopefully they'll make a setting to switch it back eventually...

It is not the worst thing ever but it is pretty horrible. I voted to kill it with fire, much like the fools who actually decide what gets changed. Why do they degrade everything? It was perfect the way it was and once again they ruin it. I am tired of this nonsense, I saw the update and thought my computer wasn't loading the page properly because it looked so awful. Whats next maybe they will make the videos smaller and take away the expand feature so they can shove more adds in or perhaps more white background with black letters. Yea that's fun to look at... Anyone know why they got rid of the rating system? Was it so perfect the way it was they changed it to be garbage for fun? Someone needs to take the computers away from these people and tell them to go sit in a corner and feel bad about themselves.

That's my rant of the day.

Where's the option for 'I don't care'?

Because I don't. So long as I can use it, I don't give two shits.


I still wish they'd change the theme of youtube, though.



Funny thing about this though, I've actually seen this before:
I was on youtube at about 4 AM and it just randomly switched on me. I'm guessing they were testing it at a time they thought nobody would be around.

Every mother***ing time I get used to the new youtube layout, BOOM! A new one takes place.

Youtube, if you are viewing this thread, please, give each layout at least 6 months for viewing pleasure.

There have been slight problems with YouTube for awhile now. I couldn't delete subscriptions videos, there were plenty that I'd already watched coming back, it was taking ages to load... And I had dealt with this before. I tried it on FireFox, it was shit then, it's shit now. I'd completely stop going on YouTube now, if it weren't for the fact that that is where every single one of my friends on the internet is.

The new layout is awful. Some of the placement is akward and I cannot access all the features I could before.

Also, while I do not mind the philosophy "simple is better" (I use Chrome as my browser), I think the new video page goes too far in that aspect and it just comes off as bland and boring rather then practical.

A sad, sad attempt at being more "streamlined" and "simple" like facebook and twitter.
Half the page is a boring white void.
The other half is a cluster of other videos I don't care about.

KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE, AND AXES, AND SPECIALLY WITH FLAMETHROWERS!


Now seriously, I hate it, Why in hell they needed to change it? It was perfectly fine like 4 layouts behind, why they need to keep changing? I haven't seen the Escapist change their layout since episode 101 of ZP (I actually knew about the Escapist thanks to ZP).
