To everyone who saw the new youtube homepage and freaked out like me:

Google won't be satisfied until all of their pages look like they were approved by the Neutral Planet.
 
God it really is hideous. What ad wizard is responsible for this bullshit?
 
I watch IGN news and thats it on Youtube these days. kinda busy these days but I remember a time when I'd watch an hour of Youtube everyday
 
Thank god. Now I can actually see whats been uploaded.



Also: lol ign news
 
Thanks maine.

God that new look is horrendous!
 
I was more disturbed by the giant mass of dark grey that appeared on Google and forced me to click it just to access my email.
 
I'm ok with youtube. The change I like least is gmail replacing words with icons, especially since the "Archive" icon looks like Download, and "Return to inbox" looks like Reply.
 
I dunno, I think it's a rather vast improvement, especially the new channel design :X
 
The new channels are the part I specifically don't like. Could be just because it's different though. But it all feels like I'm on a smart phone or something. So little information presented at a time, huge buttons. I'm on a ****ing computer damnit show me what I want to see without making me click for it.
 
Y'all crazy. The old home page is a ****ing trainwreck of design. Subscriptions in giant banner rows, alternated with the favourites and ****ing likes of the people I subscribe to. Great. Didn't care at any point. Now everything isn't smashed together in a single Blog2.0-style page, and there are more colours than "white", "off-white", "eggshell white", and "white-gray".
 
I don't see what all the fuss is about. Change of layout, big deal.

Yeah well I liked it all "squished" together on one page. You immediately saw all the new videos that were added from your subscribed channels. Now you have to click on the subscription list, then click on the a specific channel that you want to see all their latest videos. The new home page might look OK, but it's functionality is a trainwreck. They made one step forward in visuals, and two steps back in functionality.
 
Hello yes welcome to YouFaceBookTube

Well see, I like seeing my sub's favs/likes, it's how I find a bunch of videos which end up in my own favourites. If you're just trying to keep up with uploads, I can see how the new homepage could be serviceable, but try to imagine how grossly inefficient it is to browse all ~60 of my subs (yes, really), with their uploads, favs, likes, and for some inexplicable reason their comments now too, all in a single row with giant-ass icons that fit like 7 to a page at x1080. Nnnnnnnnnnnnope, not gonna happen.
 
My Gmail is the same as its been for months.
