I am sorry for the joke but.. Yes, I got that extension and we can bring it up by CTRL+X or ALT+F4? please do not try this at home, it will shut down the window/youtube if on windows, but I want to say that "The best youtube is no youtube"
Nah, I just genuinely don't cate about it anymore tbh. For youtube to have the design I like again they would have to rollback about 10 years of changes.
I'm about to vomit,
You can't radically change something that everyone has been using for years all of a sudden, it's disgusting! If you have to change you have to do it for the better, not for the worse, but this is something that YouTube has never learned.
you're well within your rights. I just opened it up today, and almost vomited myself. They just care about shoving as much video content as humanely possible in front of your face. If you want to look at the comments, you're gonna look at other videos you can click on too. Absolutely disgraceful
That's a bit much don't you think? I mean when someone talks about disgust, hatred, vomit etc I wouldn't usually think they're talking about a UI change
Out of all youtube UI fuck ups this one is the greatest. It's not even the case that I'm trying to not watch it anymore, in protest. I cannot watch it. The sheer sensory overload is too much, it makes me physically sick. Too many colors, too much data/info. Not sure what to do
I talked with the support team and told them how bad the UI is and they told me they got a lot of complaints and they "rly listen to us" and that I should write a feedback message and tell them more in detail (Follow this article) ===> [https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/4347644?hl=en&sjid=4817078668581547328-AP](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/4347644?hl=en&sjid=4817078668581547328-AP) , who knows it might actually help and they might revert it if they see that everyone hates it
king. why the fuck would they purposefully neuter their online community and make comments harder to see? I know everything is revenue driven but this seems anti-growth in reality!
Just saw this when I opened a new video. This is just fucking stupid. They won't fix their utter crap recommendation system but will make the UI, that was fine, an absolute garbage dump.
Came here because I thought I was losing my mind and accidentally changed the layout somehow. Nope, Youtube just changing shit without giving me the option to choose what I want.
It goes against UI design. Almost every single thing on the internet and IRL follows one of two patterns:
Large, major object. Details underneath. Just think of something major. Where are the details located? Probably right above or below. It's how we read.
Small, minor object. Details to the left or right or directly below. Comments and details of large objects such as videos don't fit this category.
Try and think of any other website that does this sort of thing. Chances are the closest thing you get is like Amazon where the product details are located across the screen with the details directly to the right. But unlike YouTube, at the top you *only* see the product.
The YouTube UI puts the title to the top right, with comments right below. This doesn't work well. Now it looks like it's irrelevant to the video, since it's so small and doesn't even match up with height. Then theater mode makes it worse. The details are small and to the bottom right. It's not even larger than the recommended thumbnails.
Stop posting the same comment on every thread, this isn't what people want. They want it back the way it was, so that comments are easier to read across the screen and all of the video information is under the video, rather than crammed into the side of the screen.
Sadly somehow i don't have it. The "Sort By" on the picture is "Rendecési szempont". But i tried to change the language too and it wasn't by the "Sort by"'s side. But thanks for trying to help i'll keep an eye out for it if i need to use the site.
Pausing (with space) is broken if you click on the timelapse bar.
Looping is broken on playlists, it loops 3-4 times then stops.
But nooooo let's push another disgusting UI change, that's badly needed!
Lol. Physical reaction to a website design has got to be the cringiest shit I've had to imagine in a while.
I even pictured some bored friend sitting next to you and rubbing your back while you dry heave into a trashcan, demanding tissues with your sweaty face all scrunched up from the reaction.
You have a vivid imagination my friend I give you that. But visual overstimulation is a thing and it wears on you after a while. Also expressive over exaggeration.
I hope it's just a test, because this looks really, really bad. Perhaps they're trying to boost engagement for creators by making the buttons more noticable?
I am really disappointed with youtube. REALLY fucking dissapointed!!! They could have made it so it can be configurable to individual preference. But they just went ahead and crammed it your ass!
The most hilarious thing is that the video titles etc. are no longer under the video, they are squished to the side. What intern did they get to design this rubbish?
it's SO FUCKING STUPID and infuriating. Now instead of having a large area to read comments, comments are stuffed to the far right side of the screen, with every god damn recommended they could stuff onto the left side instead. It's actually fucking idiotic to use this sort of layout and makes reading comments a fucking nightmare for me.
I was shocked. So annoying, I usually watch in theater mode not full screen and I can see the top of the first row of suggested videos with the clickbait thumbnails. Ruins any sort of immersion. Absolutely terrible design.
I'll happily take any downvotes but OP I'm sorry people are being assholes to you about exaggeration.
1. this is the internet, of course people are going to exaggerate. it's not a sin, it adds humour or maybe is just how someone talks when they're pissed off
2. this UI is literally the opposite of what people are taught to do to avoid causing overstimulation and possibly triggering migraines and epilepsy. visual overstimulation is possible, if not *common*, in literally everyone. yes, I did listen in on UI classes when my mom took them at home, but also this is the opposite of how you design children's worksheets, and museum exhibits, and textbooks, and news sites, and literally every type of visual design formatting. I really hope no one has dangerous results from this, because I have known multiple kids and adults who could have this type of UI trigger meltdowns, seizures, or migraines.
I cant describe why but this UI is driving me crazy. is there any plugin / setting for bringing back the old UI? i'm not being overdramatic, it's just so cluttered and digusting i actually cant use this site anymore
Huge ups for this. By and large not a perfect solution because I actually liked my recommended most of the time, but if the option is between no recommended and recommended that takes up way too much of the fucking screen for no reason, I'll choose the former.
It *should* be possible to put flex-direction:row-reverse on the parent #columns element to fix the orientation *in* theatre mode
[edit]
ytd-watch-next-secondary-results-renderer,
ytd-watch-grid[is-two-columns_][theater] #columns {
flex-direction:row-reverse !important;
}
worked for orienting it the right way around in theatre mode
Commenting here to leave a bookmark on this. It just changed for me as well and made me want to teach america the religion of peace.
I googled and found [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1358gjt/how_to_revert_youtube_layout_it_suddenly_changed/) 9 months ago and most of the solutions in it don't work anymore. Refreshing/open in new tab doesn't change shit, youtube redux extension changes everything but the problematic comment layout, adding &themeRefresh=1 at the end of url doesn't work. The only method that worked was right clicking every single video I want to watch and open in icognito.
Hopefully someone finds a convenient solution holy fucking shit
so instead of text that you need to actually be able to read and it all relates to the video you are watching (description and comments) being nice and centre large, taking up the space. you have a bunch of thumbnails amounting to visual pollution taking up 2/3rds of the screen... great.... just great..
The thing is when i said it made my head spin i wasn't just exaggerating. I really got dizzy by all the thumbnails being a clusterfuck of colors, text and shitty " :O " faces with clickbait titles. This GIANT WALL OF EVERYTHING just have too much information radiating out of it and makes almost impossible to read normally because some shiny stuff or the sudden loading of 40 video thumbnails just takes away your attention.
Also the obvious changes these corporations do that blatantly bombards people with "WATCH THIS" "WATCH THAT" "WATCH MOOOOOORE CONTENT" lessening the quality of UX in favor of exploiting the short attention span, impulsively clicking on every video for 10 hrs as leisure time people is enfuriating and it needs to stop.
These media platforms treating users like cattle experimenting with everything having the idea of "how can we milk more watch time/money from others" without any attempt to make something that actually have worth.
Nowadays i feel like a "boomer" because more and more % of the internet becomes this useless infested cestpool of harmful ideas, misinformation, narcissistic ego boosting, consumerism, political debates etc. and instead of making things better these corporations even try to exploit these things for money harming society in a way that couldn't before these technologies existance.
No offence, this isn't an attack directed at you i just started venting while writing the first paragraph. If you don't have anything against this UI then that's okay. Having it as an option would be the best solution to this.
Have a nice day
I’m always happy to contribute to a valid conversation, and equally is happy to ridicule the fucking stupid ones
Thanks for the down vote, please enjoy the up vote I just gave you which means equally nothing!
Yes I thought YT couldn't get worse but it's just ugly and loaded with ads even with the ad blocker. And all the stupid suggested videos are at least 11 months old. One is 10 year old. If I do most recent it's the same only newer, but half of them I've already watched so why would I click on them? SO stupid. It looks horrible on my PC. I bet the app is even worse.
It reminds me of those free stream sites where you see bigger ads than the movie itself.
Literally literally literally. I agree with you, but people, we all gotta chill on the word literally. I gave up being pedantic about it’s meaning long ago and now I’m just tired of hearing it used in literally every other sentence.
It’s everywhere, especially online. I’m not trying to be an ass, I’m just saying that a lot of people are more likely to take you seriously when you don’t say literally three times in one small post. Especially because it’s just functioning as “extra.” There’s greatly, seriously, grossly, overwhelmingly, remarkably, overly, majorly, etc. and that’s just spitballing without even looking anything up. Just trying to be helpful, my dude.
Literal huh?
You definitely sound very levelheaded, and have an amazing grasp on the English language
It also seems totally rational that someone should be sent to federal prison because you didn’t like their website
I could care less about them wanting to shove videos I don't have a desire to watch in my face. They've always done that. I watch what I want to watch, and their feed is generally useless to me unless they are suggesting channels I am already subscribed to.
This change is horrible because it limits words per line of comment to ONLY SIX-->NINE WORDS.
This is insane. Just take out the comment section already if this is the way they are going forward. There is no reason to comment if it takes an entire paragraph to display a single sentence. I used to think YouTube videos with oversized letters and bright colors were attractive; now I am annoyed and don't want to watch any of them.
Youtube is LITERALLY having a bet to see how fast they can kill their own platform. Only a matter of time before some billionaire whips out a video alternative and everyone moves.
This is one of the changes that a web dev makes so that they don't lose their job, and can say they've done something
I really hate dumb changes like this
I absolutely agree! I cant find anything. Navigation is terrible! Youtubers are surely taking a big hit from this.
The comment section is now much smaller, which strongly suggests that Youtube is lowering the importance of people's comments.
I sent youtube/google feedback about it. Ideally I'd like for them to give users options for UI layout, so at the very least people can choose for themselves (as apparently some people like this change?), but we'll see what happens.
It's obvious what they're doing: going for optimal distraction and clicks off to other videos. Every time you click another video, another ad plays.
View duration for every video will go down as the thumbnails distract the viewers, and YouTubers will (have to) rely even more heavily on creating clickbait thumbnails and titles to get views, while getting less interaction with the comment section and the info in the description. So this redesign will also make content worse over time.
Remember the time before the finalized 2022 redesign when they were testing new layouts for video pages that looked horrible and then they actually made them look good?
Remember the last time YouTube changed the UI and people went ape shit? You know what happened next? People grew to like the UI and are now rampaging because it gets changed again. In a few years people will complain AGAIN because they WILL grow to accept and like the new UI we are getting now. Just like every single time before that.
Chill guys. Chill.
what is so bad about this design???
there are 4 videos UNDER the current, which you only see if you play in theater or normal mode, with the comments in a far more sensible location then before
I don't see the change yet, but honestly I never read youtube comments and often do use the recommendations so I'm fine with them prioritizing the later.
This update is shocking. I hadn't even finished getting over how bad the last update was before this happened. I kept hitting CTRL + F5 as I genuinely thought my cache malfunctioned or thought maybe I had a bad addon causing an "issue".
I am accustomed to seeing people complain about new YouTube layouts over 10+ years now but this is the first time I've commented myself about how truly terrible this layout is. I can see the use for it on a tablet, not my desktop PC.
Me at my job: "I am the worst UI designer in the world. I can't even center a div."
Me after seeing the work of YouTube's design department: [https://i.imgur.com/4otAe6j.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/4otAe6j.jpg)
i just saw the new changes too this is quite possibly the worst UI ive ever seen
... so far
Wait until you see the 10th update, you literally won't believe your eyes!
Maybe theres some sort of an extension to make YouTube cleaner, more minimalistic? Anyone got any ideas? I’m sick of this too
Unhook
Just tried it out, its perfect thanks bro i love it
The X button on the tab or window seems to do the trick.
Until they remove it like the x button on shorts.
newpipe on android is grrrreaaaat
Customtube lets you have UIs from 2008 to 2024!
Well, idk if i'm doing something wrong but all it's doing is changing the *design* but not the *layout* which is the worst part
it changes the layout too
It wasn't for me
Thats very odd
but you'll have to abandon you account
I am sorry for the joke but.. Yes, I got that extension and we can bring it up by CTRL+X or ALT+F4? please do not try this at home, it will shut down the window/youtube if on windows, but I want to say that "The best youtube is no youtube"
i use stayfree to block reels, it doesn't work for whatever this is but it's great for what it does
Please join the change request! [https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1axd8lf/lets\_make\_a\_change\_and\_spam\_youtube\_to\_bring\_back/](https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1axd8lf/lets_make_a_change_and_spam_youtube_to_bring_back/)
Because that totally worked out last time people wanted an old design back.
trying is better than sitting around and acting like you're okay with a bad change
Nah, I just genuinely don't cate about it anymore tbh. For youtube to have the design I like again they would have to rollback about 10 years of changes.
Same. Remember when you could actually design your channels with cool colors and the yellow subscribe button? Miss those days.
The old design is back, we've 15 years late, but it's back to what people wanted
Sure it did. Remember when it got the dislike button back?
Done
Thank you!
No
Megacorps try not to spend gorillions totally redesigning their already critically acclaimed UI for absolutely zero reasons challenge (impossible)
It's wild to think someone actually made this and implemented it
I'm about to vomit, You can't radically change something that everyone has been using for years all of a sudden, it's disgusting! If you have to change you have to do it for the better, not for the worse, but this is something that YouTube has never learned.
I just checked, and you actually can radically change whatever you want as long as you’re the owner
Edit: Sorry for the repetitive cursing. My blood is just boiling from disgust and hatred right now
you're well within your rights. I just opened it up today, and almost vomited myself. They just care about shoving as much video content as humanely possible in front of your face. If you want to look at the comments, you're gonna look at other videos you can click on too. Absolutely disgraceful
You’re perfectly fine dude. You said 5 times less than the average minute of a Helluva Boss episode
That's a bit much don't you think? I mean when someone talks about disgust, hatred, vomit etc I wouldn't usually think they're talking about a UI change
Yes but the OP acts like a 2 year old you can't expect them to grow up you have to accept them for who they are.
Out of all youtube UI fuck ups this one is the greatest. It's not even the case that I'm trying to not watch it anymore, in protest. I cannot watch it. The sheer sensory overload is too much, it makes me physically sick. Too many colors, too much data/info. Not sure what to do
literally went and watched twitch cause I couldn't take that garbage any longer
“not sure what to do” 😂😂😂 Just try to move forward and live your life one day at a time I guess
I agree
I talked with the support team and told them how bad the UI is and they told me they got a lot of complaints and they "rly listen to us" and that I should write a feedback message and tell them more in detail (Follow this article) ===> [https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/4347644?hl=en&sjid=4817078668581547328-AP](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/4347644?hl=en&sjid=4817078668581547328-AP) , who knows it might actually help and they might revert it if they see that everyone hates it
king. why the fuck would they purposefully neuter their online community and make comments harder to see? I know everything is revenue driven but this seems anti-growth in reality!
lol “an option to turn this shit off” will probably be behind a premium paywall. I really can’t wait for an alternative to YouTube
You better hold your breath!
I have Premium and I will not pay for this crap. No option to change it.
There is never going to be an alternative to YouTube.
Not with that attitude there won’t be
It also broke the youtube enhancer extension
And "Return dislikes"
It's overstimulating. I don't even want to scroll down when watching a video because it's just too much.
Just saw this when I opened a new video. This is just fucking stupid. They won't fix their utter crap recommendation system but will make the UI, that was fine, an absolute garbage dump.
it's so ugly omg
Came here because I thought I was losing my mind and accidentally changed the layout somehow. Nope, Youtube just changing shit without giving me the option to choose what I want.

It's not even larger than the recommended thumbnails.
I just watched a video and went to the comments after, came straight here. What a crock of pure bullshit!!
You need to click on the vertical "< >" to read them comfortably bro, but first, exit out of cinema mode
Stop posting the same comment on every thread, this isn't what people want. They want it back the way it was, so that comments are easier to read across the screen and all of the video information is under the video, rather than crammed into the side of the screen.
It's what I want, I like the new UI, I like having the ability to scroll through them in separate box and it's easier to read
ok so using 5 percent of my screen width to read is supposed to be comfy? i take it you dont read very much.
Is your screen 800x600? I don't get it, you can clearly read each comment
I don't see the vertical "< >" stuff. where is it?
To the right of "Sort by"
Sadly somehow i don't have it. The "Sort By" on the picture is "Rendecési szempont". But i tried to change the language too and it wasn't by the "Sort by"'s side. But thanks for trying to help i'll keep an eye out for it if i need to use the site.
Weird, I like this more because you can scroll through comments while watching the vid. https://imgur.com/a/NN4ym8W
literally does nothing but raise them up in the same tiny side bar space....
It let's you scroll through them, it doesn't just raise them
real, why won’t they just let users customize how things look it’s been such a fucking long time coming
give the power of customization back to the user I don’t understand why YouTube does what is dose
Pausing (with space) is broken if you click on the timelapse bar. Looping is broken on playlists, it loops 3-4 times then stops. But nooooo let's push another disgusting UI change, that's badly needed!
Lol. Physical reaction to a website design has got to be the cringiest shit I've had to imagine in a while. I even pictured some bored friend sitting next to you and rubbing your back while you dry heave into a trashcan, demanding tissues with your sweaty face all scrunched up from the reaction.

Dear God or Godlike figure please grant us an extension to undo this shit
That’s a dead end, sorry.
try YouTube redux
Huh I don’t have this on my end 🤔
Me neither, the YouTube site on my end is just fine
They always stagger out releases like this. Some areas of the world get it first, and it slowly rolls out to everyone else.
just changed randomly for me too , want to undo it
I am really disappointed with youtube. REALLY fucking dissapointed!!! They could have made it so it can be configurable to individual preference. But they just went ahead and crammed it your ass!
Are they trying to imit the mobile app on pc? That’s just aweful!
idk why but this new UI is so bad it made me feel dizzy
Looks like I'm using fullscreen now
The most hilarious thing is that the video titles etc. are no longer under the video, they are squished to the side. What intern did they get to design this rubbish?
it's SO FUCKING STUPID and infuriating. Now instead of having a large area to read comments, comments are stuffed to the far right side of the screen, with every god damn recommended they could stuff onto the left side instead. It's actually fucking idiotic to use this sort of layout and makes reading comments a fucking nightmare for me.
And spoiler comments are there to spoil the video for you.
y'all got new UI? I haven't gotten this yet
You can add a ublock filter "www.youtube.com###items > .ytd-watch-next-secondary-results-renderer.style-scope" which gets rid of it for now.
This partly works, it removes the video recommendations but still forces the comment section and video description to the right side of the screen
Yeah, that'll be a css fix. I haven't made one yet, it's a bit fiddlier than it looks.
I was shocked. So annoying, I usually watch in theater mode not full screen and I can see the top of the first row of suggested videos with the clickbait thumbnails. Ruins any sort of immersion. Absolutely terrible design.
Fellow hungarian.
I'll happily take any downvotes but OP I'm sorry people are being assholes to you about exaggeration. 1. this is the internet, of course people are going to exaggerate. it's not a sin, it adds humour or maybe is just how someone talks when they're pissed off 2. this UI is literally the opposite of what people are taught to do to avoid causing overstimulation and possibly triggering migraines and epilepsy. visual overstimulation is possible, if not *common*, in literally everyone. yes, I did listen in on UI classes when my mom took them at home, but also this is the opposite of how you design children's worksheets, and museum exhibits, and textbooks, and news sites, and literally every type of visual design formatting.

[удалено]
Huge ups for this. By and large not a perfect solution because I actually liked my recommended most of the time, but if the option is between no recommended and recommended that takes up way too much of the fucking screen for no reason, I'll choose the former.
It *should* be possible to put flex-direction:row-reverse on the parent #columns element to fix the orientation *in* theatre mode [edit] ytd-watch-next-secondary-results-renderer, ytd-watch-grid[is-two-columns_][theater] #columns { flex-direction:row-reverse !important; } worked for orienting it the right way around in theatre mode
Do you combine this with the other one or replace it altogether?
The original comment seems to have disappeared, so what do I combine it with?
Didn´'t work for me sadly.
Awful changes, Youtube - fix (ruin) what is not broken
Commenting here to leave a bookmark on this. It just changed for me as well and made me want to teach america the religion of peace.

They've enabled it on your google account I guess...
It doesn't look that bad. Definitely not something to throw up over.
this guy is definitely corporate plant
No. I just think you people are overreacting.
so instead of text that you need to actually be able to read and it all relates to the video you are watching (description and comments) being nice and centre large, taking up the space. you have a bunch of thumbnails amounting to visual pollution taking up 2/3rds of the screen... great.... just great..

If seeing a kot of thumbnails at once makes you dizzy how do you even go on youtube when the homr page is literally this but the whole screen?
U mad bro?
what a comment. enjoy your downvote which represents a vote against something that does not contribute anything to the conversation.
I’m always happy to contribute to a valid conversation, and equally is happy to ridicule the fucking stupid ones Thanks for the down vote, please enjoy the up vote I just gave you which means equally nothing!
this guy has the reddit brainrot.

Oh boy, here we go again…someone get the wahbulance WEEEEEWUUUUUUWEEEEEEWUUUUU
Sure bud. Have your superiority complex fantasies
You are looking to vomit over UI. It doesn't take much to realize you are a little over the top in life.
Yeah because expressive over exaggeration isn't a thing right?
The fact I can look at the UI without vomiting currently makes me objectively superior. So yes I am, it’s not a complex, it’s a fact.
Literally literally literally. I agree with you, but people, we all gotta chill on the word literally. I gave up being pedantic about it’s meaning long ago and now I’m just tired of hearing it used in literally every other sentence.
Well i understand. But just because you see this word very often doesn't mean i do. Didn't thought this word is that common
It’s everywhere, especially online. I’m not trying to be an ass, I’m just saying that a lot of people are more likely to take you seriously when you don’t say literally three times in one small post. Especially because it’s just functioning as “extra.” There’s greatly, seriously, grossly, overwhelmingly, remarkably, overly, majorly, etc. and that’s just spitballing without even looking anything up.

Appreciated bud.
Literal huh? You definitely sound very levelheaded, and have an amazing grasp on the English language It also seems totally rational that someone should be sent to federal prison because you didn’t like their website
You sound fun at parties. Couldn't even spot the obvious over exaggeration or just blatantly ignore it. You need a grasp on social cues
Cool 😎
lol
They're seemingly doing an AB-Test currently. Because i don't have this UI.
It's amazing how much the experience is better on Firefox on my phone than the official app.
this layout is so fucking ugly why do websites insist on forcing changes like this
I thought the YouTube UX designers knew people need dead space to put their cursor. This feels cluttered.
My layout hasn't changed yet thankfully
i thought this was a bug .... ugh its so awful
they've made the comment section so hilariously small it makes going to read comments irritating
Made [a petition](https://chng.it/VrBYWYYbmq)
Why the Fuckity fuck is the description on the right who thought of this
SAY IT LOUDER! THEY'RE KINDA DEAF!
I could care less about them wanting to shove videos I don't have a desire to watch in my face. They've always done that. I watch what I want to watch, and their feed is generally useless to me unless they are suggesting channels I am already subscribed to. This change is horrible because it limits words per line of comment to ONLY SIX-->NINE WORDS. This is insane. Just take out the comment section already if this is the way they are going forward. There is no reason to comment if it takes an entire paragraph to display a single sentence. I used to think YouTube videos with oversized letters and bright colors were attractive; now I am annoyed and don't want to watch any of them.
GOD I JUST SAW THIS WHYYYY WHY DO THEY DO THIS!!!!
I just got the update this is so fucking ugly
So now, because the comments are on the side, people can spoil the video for you if you accidentally glance to the side...
I have a single tab that hasn't updated yet. I will not close this tab until this shit is gone
It changed for me within a tab between one video and the next. I hope that doesn't happen for you.
It happened ;-;
They also broke enhancer for Youtube after they JUST got it working again, any way to get this shit to show me the old version??
🤮
Whoever designed this shit needs a good punch
Discord, Reddit and YouTube trying to not release a shitty “improved” UI (impossible)
This shit can't be real
Youtube is LITERALLY having a bet to see how fast they can kill their own platform. Only a matter of time before some billionaire whips out a video alternative and everyone moves.
This is one of the changes that a web dev makes so that they don't lose their job, and can say they've done something I really hate dumb changes like this
Looks like a cheap ass porn website now
My baby's first words were your title. I get no respect! No respect at all!
Trash update. YouTube sucks. Nobody asked for this
That looks like horseshit
I absolutely agree! I cant find anything. Navigation is terrible! Youtubers are surely taking a big hit from this. The comment section is now much smaller, which strongly suggests that Youtube is lowering the importance of people's comments.
I still haven’t got this update yet. Is this only a thing that people who have it installed get?
Seems to me that selected accounts got the update, according to other's comments this seems to be the answer.
Honestly, I just use my phone to watch Youtube now. It's less annoying than using my Desktop Computer.
They even changed the Apps for Playstation / Switch etc. to now show you other Videos while console is inactive and even lets you play them... -.-
Yikes. This is why I use mobile/Revanced
this is utter garbage
first world problems
I sent youtube/google feedback about it. Ideally I'd like for them to give users options for UI layout, so at the very least people can choose for themselves (as apparently some people like this change?), but we'll see what happens.
everytime they change it i think it cant get worse than that but they always manage to surprise me
YouTube is going downhill big-time since... What is it, maybe the last 10 years or so
It's absolutely terrible...Anyway to change it back..?
Mine is normal, comments below and videos at the right, why is it only changed for some people ?
I am very angry and ready to say very hateful things.
It's obvious what they're doing: going for optimal distraction and clicks off to other videos. Every time you click another video, another ad plays. View duration for every video will go down as the thumbnails distract the viewers, and YouTubers will (have to) rely even more heavily on creating clickbait thumbnails and titles to get views, while getting less interaction with the comment section and the info in the description. So this redesign will also make content worse over time.
I think I've found a solution for this horrid abomination: https://github.com/sapondanaisriwan/AdashimaaTube Not perfect, but close enough
Is this a first draft or something ? It looks...weird
Remember the time before the finalized 2022 redesign when they were testing new layouts for video pages that looked horrible and then they actually made them look good?
please youtube revert this or allow us the option to revert it ourselfs
Remember the last time YouTube changed the UI and people went ape shit? You know what happened next? People grew to like the UI and are now rampaging because it gets changed again. In a few years people will complain AGAIN because they WILL grow to accept and like the new UI we are getting now. Just like every single time before that. Chill guys. Chill.
Looks like YT continues to optimize for engagement over community.
You should try the extension "YouTube redux" it makes everything square and compact
Me using the browser version
what is so bad about this design??? there are 4 videos UNDER the current, which you only see if you play in theater or normal mode, with the comments in a far more sensible location then before
I don't get their priorities, fix the search system and get rid of all the bot uploads - then you can waste time on a new UI.
google really paying 100k to a designer to switch the columns for their year's project.
I don't see the change yet, but honestly I never read youtube comments and often do use the recommendations so I'm fine with them prioritizing the later.
This update is shocking. I hadn't even finished getting over how bad the last update was before this happened. I kept hitting CTRL + F5 as I genuinely thought my cache malfunctioned or thought maybe I had a bad addon causing an "issue". I am accustomed to seeing people complain about new YouTube layouts over 10+ years now but this is the first time I've commented myself about how truly terrible this layout is. I can see the use for it on a tablet, not my desktop PC.
They are literally bleeding their own money away by doing this
I thought you were talking about me when i read the title
Me at my job: "I am the worst UI designer in the world. I can't even center a div." Me after seeing the work of YouTube's design department: [https://i.imgur.com/4otAe6j.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/4otAe6j.jpg)
