Subject: What the Duck happened to Youtube?

It's probably old...


But I just clicked a link to youtube (hadn't been on for a while) and it has changed. Why? Whaddaya think about it.

Besides the white canvas on the right, I lie it.

I preferred the old layout.

not saying I don't like it.. I want to know what you think.

"It is the cruelest fate, to have written words that meant well and see them made wicked and unwise. What was meant to encourage life, used instead to justify taking it."

The change was unnecessary. I want a default option to have my YouTube link take me to a feed of subscription uploads only. No recommendations, no "[PersonISubscribedTo] liked [video]", just subscription uploads (If there's a way to do this, PLEASE tell me!).

And I'd like to be informed if someone replies to my comments.

Don't care.

Break the windowsill

Youtube always tries to fix what isn't broken, but then makes it worse

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

The new layout is a tad confusing and the rearrangement of icons doesn't make too much sense, but the overall theme is more consistent with Google's vision and suite of services. It just takes some getting used to.

I'm very disappointed, but not surprised in the slightest.

Marley: next time try to be a little for inconspicuous.
John: What do you mean?
Marley: John, we grow lots of gear, right?
John: Yeah loads...
Marley: So try not to come back with a wasted girl and a packet of fertilizer!

The only things that bug me are the white background, that's just too bright a colour for me, I preferred the grey-ish color but that's just personal taste. Second, I can't figure out how to tick the box that emails when a subscriber uploads a new video. Aside from that I really couldn't care less although it does bother me slightly that they're trying to fix things that really weren't broken and they haven't exactly made a huge leap in terms of usability, it strikes me that they should've waited until they had something really impressive to make our viewing experience better

I think you can. When you select a channel, and then it shows all the stupid crap you don't want, above it it should say "Uploads Only". And it'll do exactly that.

I'm glad you cared to look at this box with letters. Lets hang out sometime! :D

You can change it to view your subscriptions uploads. But it's a pain in the ass doing it every time you go to the homepage.

It'll take time, but it'll be worth it. Thanks! But it would still be nice if they actually listed the uploads from most recent to oldest. It gets confusing seeing something uploaded a week ago above something uploaded 2 days ago. Brilliant setup on their part.

I hate that it doesn't fill up the entire page. Feels weird.

It's modern, clean and stylish. Anything that's nice looking, the Flood hates.

It's not that. They changed the default feed to be filled with whatever our subscriptions liked or commented on, plus pointless recommendations. We want a clean feed of our subscriptions' most recent uploads, nothing more. Plus we'd like to know if someone replied to our comments right off the bat, as opposed to having to check our inboxes every 10 minutes.

Easter Egg Hunter. Apprentice Tricker/Glitcher (learning from Grumpy and Sliding Ghost).

Trying to get Waypoint to update Halo 3 stats in detail like here. Now no one can see that my Halo 3 Spartan no longer looks like my Reach Spartan.

Really want to be a Heroic member or have a title. :/

It updated again. For some reason they feel like making it uglier and uglier each update.
