New YouTube layout is complete shit

L Psy Kongroo·8/30/2017, 8:36:44 PM·97 votes·6,838 views

Is there any way to get the old one back? Willing to give someone happy smiley fun time, because this new one looks disgusting.

EDIT: For those wondering: Click your portrait in the top right, all the way at the bottom of the menu that shows up is an option to revert it to the old layout.

Thanks to @Engelin for pointing this out.

You mean modern UI design emphasizes change for the sake of change over usability?

Shocking news!

(90% of the time websites or programs radically change their UI these days, it's a shit change that makes everything worse, but they insist is better purely on the basis of being new.)

The worst part about it is that my Youtube Dark extension hasn't been updated for it yet so youtube is back to being blinding

Click on your logo and on the bottom there is a button called something like "Change to old"

Sad that the mobile version got hit, too. From warm red with splashes of white to vicious fields of blinding white to a few splashes of red. Major white with minor red colour scheme never looks good.

You click on your account and there's an option to change back and state that the reason is that "it looks like complete shit".

I hate how the shuffle feature works in the new one.

I agree but we need to tell them that not here. The logo looks off, when you visit a user's videos it listed them in the middle leaving off white space either side of a 4 video grids, it's weird, just align it left like normal. Placing views and other things in different places as well is just needless.

... classic 'why change what isn't broken' comes to mind.

I mean, it looks clean and minimalistic and all. It seems nearly every website is following this trend. But personally, I'm not fond of that style. I like webpages to have a bit of character, instead of everything being spaced out and white space everywhere and bright colored circles/boxes with abstract symbols that I don't understand, etc.

I think it looks great. "omg shit layout" is what everyone said for every layout.

New YT layout is complete shit. Is there any way to get the old one back?

It isn't. It's better than the old one. Although i never had a problem with the old one and with how things were organized there, the biggest complaint was when i wasn't being able to track my comments unless i was on G+. That was not something i used ever and keeping track of where i left comments was impossible unless i saw a response to the comment thread on a specific video. Now i have 3 histories, which greatly help me in how i interact with youtube.

On the side note, why the hell is GD boards used in a manner to discuss anything unrelated to League? Where are the mods?

So this is why my other post got downvoted. Because I said I like the new layout.

lol :D

It has a dark mode now which I like but the fact that it has so much wasted blank space annoys me though.
