This new shade of red needs to be incorporated into the forums redesign somehow. Maybe the default text color?

Well... Now youtube has round buttons as a logical evolution of quares with rounded corners (Adobe-Google-Apple design dogma trinity). The responsive design seems to work and look a bit smoother with the displayed content* on mobile devices (*read=featured videos and advertisements). Abstract menu buttons, which don't show, what they do. Unless you click on it (also nothing new in the Adobe-Google-Apple design dogma trinity). The #255 red is an eyesore and wants me to recalibrate my monitors again... Google has created nice UIs, but the youtube redesign maybe be not one of them.

For a moment I thought Pewtube was a youtube like created by Pewdiepie and I went in just to see what that would look like. Boy was that a wrong move. the channels are either about Nazis, communism, white power, and the occasional porn. In essence it consists of the very things that that it's supposedly created to fight against. Oh and it's not created by PewDiePie.

Also Youtube doesn't trust you to be able to read a number longer than 3 digits anymore so everything is rounded with a big fat K on the end except for the view count, which is just another example of how they're trying to make it brain-dead simple to use Youtube but in the wrong ways.

Youtube was never 'hard' to use anyways Ever Not even in its first UI incarnation. It stinks of UX dillweeds trying very hard to justify both their existence and overly fat paycheck.

The layout is bad but it's bad everytime and eventually I forget how bad it is and then I look at a screenshot of the past and I think it looked worse. Also, they have to do stuff like this because it makes things seem less stagnant, and is easier than fixing their "ad problem".

man, i never thought i'd see the day where there would be a 48 hour bitchfest about borders and colors by a collection of people who are not professional designers working for large sums of money. you'd think google killed ya'll's pets in here. e: this should not be construed as a defense of the UI change, i have no strong opinions on it one way or the other. but holy god dudes is this really how you want to spend your time and energy?

I have to admit, I don't really see the problem with Youtube's new layout other than a momentary bout of getting used to the new look. That said, I'm pretty much just some schlub that watches videos now and then, so if it's somehow made it harder for people to make a living from Youtube, then it was a genuinely lovely thing to happen. That said, from what I hear YT's not much of a good monetizing option anyway, and Patreon's a much better bet if one wants to earn a living making videos for the Internet. Again though, I'm really no expert.

My biggest complaints are that they've reduced the number of videos in the "Recently Uploaded" section from 15 to 10 (in both layouts) and that you have to specifically switch to Edit Mode to remove videos from your Watch Later list after you've watched them - which just switches you right back to the old layout anyway. It also seemed like when I hit the fullscreen button as a video started, it would take a few seconds to finish loading the page and then reload in the regular view, so I'd have to hit fullscreen again. I concede that I'm not a graphic designer, but if anyone who is can tell me why adding more clicks to access the features users use is good UI design, I will personally petition to have your license revoked.

That said, from what I hear YT's not much of a good monetizing option anyway, and Patreon's a much better bet if one wants to earn a living making videos for the Internet. the design change hasn't done anything with the monetization stuff directly; if for whatever reason it makes people less willing to watch videos on youtube by some metric (fewer minutes watched, fewer videos watched, w/e) it could turn into that. but that sort of data is mostly collected by analytics embedded into the site. a lot of times, design changes are spurred by the fact that those analytics show that your metrics are ebbing off simply by you doing nothing. this is a quantifiable thing that happens though i'll be the first to say i'm not entirely sure why it happens. perhaps users simply feel like you're not going anywhere unless your look changes every now and again? it's difficult to say. the monetization problem comes from youtube's weird algorithm quirks and google's unwillingness to share any details with regard to those quirks. what worked yesterday might not work tomorrow so due to business logic changes you could end up earning 10% as much with no warning through no fault of your own. but the reality of the situation is that random ads on stuff isn't a good way of getting money out of your work and hasn't been for years. patreon is much closer to the model people have moved to, which is just doing good work and reaching out to people until you have a committed following, at which point your committed following is generally quite happy to pitch in together to see more good work done.

I mean, it makes everything blend together since it pretty much gives everything that's not a thumbnail the same visual weight. Kinda sucks if you follow a handful of channels like I do but don't watch every video every day. They also got rid of the blatant visual sign for YOU WATCHED THIS ALREADY.

Yeah, I don't even know where edit mode is- or that it was a thing before- so I've gotta open a video before I can remove other stuff.

My main issue with the new layout is that there isn't much reason to make the ends clickable on the video player. But before that I had a problem with the ends blending with the black boxes on either side of a normally 4:3 video, so now my problem switched from "it's not pausing when I want it to" to "it's pausing more than I want it to." Maybe I'm just a big baby.

I don't know if this was a part of YouTube's last design, but as someone who always used Stylish to make a lot of mainly white sites black or dark, I appreciate that YT now has a native Dark Mode

I knew something very particular about the design was grating on me, I didn't realise it was this. But making thumbnails take up more space, making the top section of the page even more bulky and intrusive when all I want is a list of videos, making the whole thing look clunkier, none of that feels particularly good to me anyway. I'm glad like the second post about it here was how to change it back.
