A selection of YouTube viewers have recently noticed there’s a little something different with the look of the website.
I’m super ambivalent.
I don’t care for related videos or the description and least of all the comment, so which is bigger or smaller below makes 0 difference to me. I click on a video to watch that video, not all the other shit around it.
I don’t really comment much on youtube and i hate it. This design really feels like whoever make the decision spend too much time on porn site.
Freetube still looks good to me 👍
My grandma would say “the devil fiddled so much with the son’s eye that he pierced it”. That’s the case here - user interface designers keep messing with shit that works fine, until it doesn’t.
It’s really annoying. And the funny part is, it flip flops each time I visit. Comments on the right, comments below, right, below. Google is famous for mucking things up. Maybe someone should get User input for once.
On desktop…

Maybe someone should get User input for once.Looks like crap, but the fact they’re testing it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to deploy it for everyone. Sometimes they do test with a small subset of users to see how people respond to specific things.
How come they always change to a new shitty design once you accepted them previous shitty design?
I think that the idea here is to get user attention towards more “linked” videos rather than things they normally look for. Cheap trick.
Freetube for desktop and newpipe for Android makes for a good time.
Who the fuck still uses regular ass YouTube?
I like my Ass Youtube!
The vast majority of people?
Remember you live in a tiny bubble and think that your experience is reflective of broader trends because it’s all you see in your bubble.
Basically nobody modified their YouTube. Less than a fraction of a percent.
Virtually the entire planet. You are the one living in the small bubble, not the rest.
Basically every single person in the developed western world
I’m still using the user agent method so I’m enjoying the old ass mobile interface on desktop
They’re putting the information on the side? What’s next, 1-to-5-star rating system? Fugly yellow background color? Buffering?
Very recently I started noticing that if you search anything on YouTube you don’t find what you need at all unless you add many keywords and even then, the site only gives you one coherent answer and tons of garbage you don’t need.
Mostly because, instead of giving you videos on the full set of keywords you use, it gives the first video which is based on all of them, and all subsequent videos based on just a single of such keywords, so mainly you get a lot of crap from influencers or such.
Has anyone else experienced this and knows if there is a way around it?
Yesterday I noticed something. I was searching for a few different things, but only got completely random garbage. That was the only time so far I noticed that. Before yesterday the search was fine. I hoped that was just a hiccup, but we will see…
Nope, been happening way before that and ProZD already made a video documenting it about a month ago. You can improve the results somewhat by playing around with the “tags” at the top of the screen.
