Poll: The new Youtube layout!

[Caligulove]

It works. And I think it makes the viewing easier and more immediate. Better for playlists.

People always will complain about YouTube though. How it should be one way or another. But come on... It's still free. Suck it up and learn to roll with the punches

Youtube shitty new design flaws:

*Hover over comments to report spam, like, dislike comment. (thanks for making me do more work, assholes)
*Comments section looks ridiculous with 0 boarder. Welcome back to 1997 html coding.
*Like or Dislike a video? Jesus, I didn't know I could only love it or leave it.
*Not having a windowed mode for the video selections anymore period? Bad call.
*Mandatory "Featured Video" presense on homepage? Thanks you Nazi dicks. I didn't want my choice anyway
*Inability to easily find a way to favorite a video? Nope, not on YOUtube.
*Make any page harder to navigate while throwing more ads on the screen? Check.
*Make all searches irrelavent to topic serached for? No problem, Fred is directly related to my search for "MLK I Have a Dream Speech"
*Ability to have an entire internet hate you? Well, they got this one right, they dirty cockbags.

Fuck Youtube, and fuck google. I go to Vimeo now.

Three words.

I, too, thought it was an April Fools joke. On April Fools day I actually texted a friend "LOL Youtube changed their layout to look like it's the '90s". Little did I know the horrible truth...

Has anyone noticed that EVERY SINGLE TIME a major website changes layouts people hate it? I recall when the escapist changed layouts and people freaked the fuck out for a while. Bet most don't even know/remember the differance.
In the end it doesn't really matter you'll get used to it.

Seeing as how the only thing I do with YouTube is search for music videos and/or funnies, the layout is inconsequential to me.

I care not the model of car the delivery man drives, only the delicious pizza contained within.

An excellent analogy. You should order yourself a pizza as a reward.

This guy does a lot of ODD videos. This is one of his many (I personally enjoy his affiliation with gorgeous tiny chicken machine show). Oddity asside, it's commentary on the layout.

Holy God, I love that guy. Nice find. I'll be watching his other vids now.

For such a mainstream and popular website, it has some seriously shitty deisgning. Normally popularity=how polished a service is, but in the case of youtube it seems to be quite the contrary.

 

[Danik93]

I've had the new layout for about 2 weeks... I'm starting to get used to it.

 

[Aeshi]

It's bloody hideous and a pain to navigate to boot.

You can go back to the old layout by deleting your cookies for the site though!

 

[hazabaza1]

Eh. I don't find it awful, but I do miss some stuff, like the 5 star rating system. Seriously Youtube, what the fudge-buckets?

 

[Sieni]

It's terrible, and difficult to manage. They should atleast add an option to change it back.

 

[Razvex]

There is probably already a facebook group demanding the return to the old system if they can muster a million members.

Incidentally, yeah its atrocious. I dislike it.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

I don't find it that big of a deal. Yes, I'd prefer the old layout over this one, but I could live with the new one.

 

[BakaSmurf]

It's certainly a ***** to navigate now, and it's ugly to boot, but I only ever use YouTube for music (and very, very rarely old cartoons and anime), so until they start to remove those things, I could really care less about what they do to the interface.

 

[oppp7]

Doesn't really seem like that big of a deal. Normally I let the stars a video is given to decide if a video is good.

 

[Geamo]

I'm not too fussed. The only thing I really hate is the "auto-play" function, which after searching for a video, finding it and watching it to the end thinks "hey, he wants to watch the next one in the list!".

Luckily, I managed to turn it off. Apart from that, it doesn't really matter. It just seems a bit more...open-plan.

 

[Ghostkai]

So.... Bland.

I miss the old one now.

 

[Private Custard]

I absolutely fucking detest it. But not as much as something else that a lot of sites need to sort out.........wasted space on widescreen monitors.

I've marked in red a few examples of this annoyance.

Spoiler

Call me petty, but I thought this was the year 2010. Even the shittiest of TV channels have worked out that widescreen is dominant, and have even worked out how to send both 4:3 and 16:9 signals depending on who's watching.

When does the technical marvel that is the web catch up eh?

 

[AlphaOmega]

It is horrible, no more out-foldout menu's things in weird spots I could go on but yeah.

+1 style -10 user friendlyness

 

[AWAR]

I remember making a thread about this a while back. But I'm no nazi so I don't care But yeah, I hatehateHATE the new youtube layout. It's so A)Douchey and B)Undeniably difficult to manage. What the hell happened to the favourite button?

Apparently it appears when you press that "save to" button.. So inconvenient...
