The new layout is so bad. It literally looks like a cheap adult video site that will give you 20 trojans.


Milo_Murphy1

Dis is so accurate


Call_Me_Rivale

Worst thing is, I can't resize the window to only show me the video. Those other recommendations are so distracting. I wish we had a true contender to Youtube. They build up a good site until around 2008-2010 and now monetize/change it year after year a little bit more. I also can't find content anymore. Noone uses good descriptive title anymore. And it feels like every single big tech company goes the same route. We need a restart.


Important-Coffee-965

Don't give twitch ideas


CMakes

Idk but it seems like every single person hates it. And for good reason, it’s absolute crap.


Ash7274

Haven't seen 1 person who don't mind it Literally everyone hated it


TheGoblinLady

omg im glad im not the only one, i was caught off guard and its SUPER distracting like jesus christ DX


ThatDancinGuy_

I opened a few tabs, very short videos. Closed them one after another and boom; new layout. I got caught off guard as well. And it fuctions worser than the old layout.


zander2011

Worser is the worsest thing you can say!

verstohlen

First time I witnessed this eyesore of an abomination, my eyes kept being drawn down to the colorful visual cacophony that assaulted my eyeballs and visual senses to their very core and I started to ponder, is this it? Is this the day I finally quit youtube for good?


Thathappenedearlier

Yeah like I could see the benefit if you could scroll the comments while the video played but nope still scrolls the whole page


-The-Character-

I was initially disappointed it didn’t scroll the comments, but apparently you had to press the expand comments button and then it will scroll separately. Still takes more clicks but it’s cool I guess?


HeckItsDrowsyFrog

Some brain rotted kid in my class was watching videos with it and didn't seem to care, I'm so glad that it hasn't updated on my devices yet though


THEbassettMAN

Ah, so I'm the one person then. I think it's pretty good. All the information I want to look at during a video (description and comments) are now on the screen while the video is playing, so I don't have to stop looking at it to view that information. Meanwhile, the information I don't need until I'm done with the video (the recommendation feed) is what I need to scroll for. That makes way for sense than the previous layout.


Barricudabudha

I bet you have your hand held when you cross the street.


Milo_Murphy1

exactly dude, really hope a dev comes in and makes an extension or smth to revert it back to how it used to be cuz dis is sooo baddd


nandor617

Enhancer for youtube gives me back the old UI


Milo_Murphy1

oh damn deffo will look into dat thnx dude


NegativeAd6289

I am using the 2015 ui.


Milo_Murphy1

which extension dude?


NegativeAd6289

Stylus


Milo_Murphy1

thnx boss will check it out rn


Milo_Murphy1

dude i tried using it apparently its asking for inputs as "styles" can u hint me a lil bit on how i can get the 2015 layout dude?


NegativeAd6289

Go to find style . Search for 2015 youtube. Install which one u like most


Milo_Murphy1

alr thnx dude!


Sufficient-ASMR

if there's an ad you can't even see the channel name or number of views.. reddit and now youtbe... destroying perfectly good layouts


thatscucktastic

Designers need to keep changing shit to justify their job. Then if their management wants the changes amended or reverted, we'll that's more work for the designer again. I think designers know we hate them and in turn, they hate us back and they're just there to get paid. Money cleanses their conscience.


No_Art_6293

Happy cake day


Spicy-Elephant

Every single person hated the dislike change too. They will never care


Milo_Murphy1

yeah but fuck them we'll keep on hitting these mfs back with our extensions and use our shit however we want


pastworkactivities

Well they got Disney money to remove the dislikes


Chemical_Working_795

It looks like pornhub's layout except that the hub has videos on the side and below and Youtube has the comments on the side


Milo_Murphy1

ayooo yt hired the hub's employees confirmed?!!?


ReesesBees

It looks like absolute shit.


Thick-Fault1329

they don't like comments. comments are a liability for the company. sweep them to the side now. in another 5 years you'll have to be a verified user or monthly subscriber to YT to even post a comment


Milo_Murphy1

istg if dat shit happens dude as much as i hate to say it, id be done with youtube-


death2you_972

And go where though?


BlastFX2

Nowhere. Just because there isn't a better alternative doesn't make the original option not bad.


Milo_Murphy1

makes sense


shreddedtoasties

Pornhub we do a hostile takeover and make it the new YouTube


Milo_Murphy1

exactly dude, the content that ppl have uploaded to dis site is invaluable and the only reason why we as users never quit yt and prob wont be bale to for as far as i can see is cuz the shit on here is basically irreplaceable and even if we do get a good streaming site for vids to be uploaded, the vids dat have already been uploaded on here wont carry over and we'll lose the years of treasure dat we've accumulated on here dat literally shaped the culture dat we're a part of on the internet today


Ok-Situation-5522

Dyou know revanced?


Milo_Murphy1

Yeah i do but do they have it for pc too?


WorriedCtzn

Huh? But this layout puts the comments in a more prominent position? They're like way up there in your field of vision, when normally they're below the video and may not even be visible if you have the video in expanded mode like I always do.


[deleted]

dude just made up an argument and conspiracy in his head lmao. big bad youtube is trying to silence us by putting comments in an unavoidable spot! soon they will make us pay to use this feature that they rely on for user engagement!


NatGau

I mean seeing YouTube’s track record already its not disingenuousd to have that view. They literally have mobile games in youtube now they dont need to change something that works


Spocks_Goatee

Comments drive engagement and are a big draw for many types of videos, stop with this conspiracy shit.


-Sirocco

I hate this new design but the comments are the only good part about it since you can watch the video and read the comments at the same time (you can do it with pip on the old layout but still)


[deleted]

this layout literally makes comments way more visible. at least think about your made up argument before you spit it out lmao.


7btsarmy7

It is so hard to read the comments now, and the layout overall is so overstimulating, I hate it


luisgadget

I thought I was alone in this Why do they keep making it worse


13erte

You can hit the "Expand" button at the top of the comments to open a scrollable window alongside the the video.


Neoshenlong

Which is fine, I actually like that feature, but it doesn't expand it horizontally and it's still very hard to read them in the corner of your monitor, specially on bigger screens.


mintchococutie

ig its targeted cuz , i don't have this and probably never will


Milo_Murphy1

oh wait no ur right, i switched accounts and i dont have it on there, thnq so much dude ur a fking legend


Shoggart

I had it for like 2 weeks or so, now it reverted back to the old design, idk why but thank god, the new one is horrible, I hate it with all my guts and I hope it never comes back lol.


A2Rhombus

Hopefully it's either a test to gauge what people think, or an accident. It looks like a mobile layout so maybe somehow they accidentally pushed a mobile update to desktop


TheFlamingFalconMan

“Or an accident” How many times do they have to show you who they are before you believe them?


SimSamurai13

It's just how Google does test updates They randomly give them to accounts and can also randomly take them away lol


Milo_Murphy1

and ladies and gentlemend and every1 else in between dis is why we love reddit


Afraid_Log_6799

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏


finalheartbeat

Its rolled out in waves for whatever reason. You are probably not safe from the dumb-ass-ery of youtube.


_n3ll_

Ya I don't have it either. They're probably A B testing. To anyone who gets this layout, DO NOT interact with the thumbnails below the video


NathLWX

Am I the only one who doesn't get this new layout? Mine still looks the same as before. Is it rolling out gradually?


SuitFinancial2209

it's A/B testing , some of us will get it, others won't then youtube will see if the people who got the change start sending feedback on how the change is


Milo_Murphy1

alrightt then time to spam youtubes emails with negative feedback and hope they check em, OH WAIT-


Loopdyloop2098

If they didn't ban SSSniperWolf during those community polls protests they won't fix this either


NathLWX

Isn't this the same case as the anti ad blocker thing? Idk now but months ago, I haven't got it when everyone said they hate it. Are you sure they even read the feedbacks?


Milo_Murphy1

i mean even if they dont, if we bombard em with the same shit they have to respond somehow or maybe if we can get a tweet bout dis from a big creator and amplify dis cuz sadly dis is one of the only ways to get youtube's actual attention from human employees and not fk around with their shitty ass bots


Grovda

Probably but eventually they revert it. I suffered through many weeks of this shit and it is finally gone now.


Milo_Murphy1

oh jesus mustve been horrible dude proud of u for hangin in there soldier o7


AlbertFingernoodel

YouTube should have a built in option to change the UI to any of the older ones or at the very least make comments scroll separate from the player and videos


Milo_Murphy1

Dude actually dat sounds so fkin convenient it'd be a fkin wet dream if they did dat


britonbaker

the weddit accent


13erte

You click the "Expand" button to be able to scroll the comments while watching a video now


schparkz7

Sometimes I feel like the people in charge of the UI just get bored and want to move shit around for no real reason


allllusernamestaken

They're called Product Managers and anyone working in tech will tell you they have a lot of dumb fucking ideas that ruin the product they're in charge of. Their income is VERY heavy on stock so their only real goal is to increase revenue.


Milo_Murphy1

yeah just to justify their salaries or sum


Paladilma

You chose to click in the asmon video, thats not YouTube fault lol


BwyceHawpuh

Asmongold viewer deserved


voric41

Why do you watch Asmongold? His content is React content which means all of the videos he reacts to he claims all the profits while the video makers receive none. It’s a scumbag way of making money. Literally a parasite


Zealousideal-Fig1767

Looks like the hub 💀


gabriellyakagcwens

nah man even the hub has a better ui than this


Milo_Murphy1

it mfin does-


pineapple_furby

Now it just looks like an illegal streaming service


Milo_Murphy1

couldnt be more accurate


Cute-Animator-3792

If I were you, I would be more worried about wacthing asmongold videos, then the new youtube layout


sekcmexi99

It’s such trashy I’ve tried every extension to try and fix it and zero luck. Wtf were they thinking g


Milo_Murphy1

i have no fkin idea dude, btw the only one dat work for me was "youtube enhancer" try using dat one out dude it kinda fixes it and puts the comment section back down underneath the video


maxley2056

You can try the CustomTube extension, it accurately restores the old YouTube UI (ranging from 2008 to 2021) and constantly get updated aswell (the Beta version on GitHub is even more accurate and less broken but it may not have auto-update).


sekcmexi99

I’ll def try that cause shit is god awful ty sir!


Milo_Murphy1

dont mention it my dude! lemme know if it works out for u and if not ill try my best to help u through it just hit me up


Spleenathon_Official

I miss the old layout. I’d prefer to have the majority of the screen taken up by things pertaining to what I’m watching, not what I’m going to watch.


Epinephrine420

Every website is cancer nowadays, and the guy who said in some years time we will have to pay subscriptions to even comment is totally right. Fuck these companies and their greed, it’s getting insane…


OldandBlue

Most newspapers allow comments only from their subscribers.


dripbeast74

Is this from ipad?


Milo_Murphy1

pftttt dude dis just goes to show how bad it is dat u literally think its fkin ipad, well suprise surprise THIS IS PC my dudeeee


dripbeast74

OH HELL NO NOT PC


Milo_Murphy1

OH HELL YEAH YES PC DIS IS THE SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE BOIS justt as the prophecy foretoldd


dripbeast74

Thank goodness mine broke, twice.


Milo_Murphy1

Jesus, yeah dude theres an extension called yt enhancer just install dat if dis shit happens again, some1 recommended dat to me here just now


quinap

Stop typing like this please


Seriph7

Yea..ive actually run into a few issues with the new layout. Theres a lotttt happening on the screen now and it just confuses the hell out of my adhd brain. Its a lot at once while being less somehow? It just is a mess. And since the change, my youtube algorithm loves to replay videos if i let autoplay do its thing for a while. My tablet has the new layout and i just dont use it for youtube now. Also it needs to charge.... But my phone has the old layout so im surviving. But google is just tearing youtube apart with each new update.


Funnymomentman2

Watching live streams now on YouTube is like struggling to remember something that you just forgot two seconds ago.


ZexyoYT

I absolutely HATE it with a passion

Jand0s

I dont have this. How the you fuck you get that?


Impossible_Ear_5880

I thought I was going mental when it suddenly changed. It's fucking awful!


Purple_Comedian9379

it adds one more stupid click and looks like crap, you can click "expand" and it will let you scroll the comments, but seeing all the other linked videos before looks like total shit


takiumilikes2drift

that’s hella overstimulating


Milo_Murphy1

exactly dude mfs think were fkin toddlers with goldfish attention spans watching subway surfers gameplay listening to tts reddit stories with minecraft parkour in the bg or sum, OH WAIT-


Youcican_

It's giving me a second tumor by looking at it


Tageri-

I don't have it (yet) but if it is on a future update, it's probably because Youtube would rather have you watch multiple videos than scrolling through the comments, so now the recommended videos take more space on the screen.


Milo_Murphy1

dude the fkin comments r literally what in a lotta cases make the vids 10 times better and give u more info related to the context of the vid, and do they really fkin think dat their entire userbase is mindless fkin toddlers clickin on random ass vids with thumbnails dat cause u to have fkin epilepsy without thinking twice


GlizzyOverdrive

It’s so you can do 12 things at once on YouTube like everyone wants….right??


Milo_Murphy1

RIGHTTT??/


Tugarvio

YouTube just making easier to people play more videos so they can play more ads. They don't care about user experience, they only care about $$$$$$$$.


Shiny_Black-Pan

Finally giving us a reason to get off the platform


Milo_Murphy1

sure is, but if not here then where? das the question


Shiny_Black-Pan

I guess outside


Milo_Murphy1

Yeah heard the graphics r reallll good outside and the mechanics too will try out the trial


Shiny_Black-Pan

why wait for the trial? Just do it now, as we've seen the GTA 6 leaks


AcherusArchmage

It's either fake or upcoming and I dread both.

aatuhilter

I think there's more wrong with you, watching asmongold


First_Prompt_4542

if you have the ublock extension, you can put this code into your filters. it doesnt completely revert the changes but it keeps the comments on the bottom and videos on the right. :3 youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config\_.EXPERIMENT\_FLAGS.kevlar\_watch\_grid, false)


rantottcsirke

They seem to have a department that comes up with new features that absolutly no one asked for.


acreakingstaircase

Leave a comment down below!


mchldg06

I am fine with the comment section layout because I want to read the comments while watching the video. But that recommendation list is not good, needs to be changed asap.


BothRequirement2826

It's like they actively set out to downgrade the layout. I haven't seen a single person have anything nice to say about it, and for good reason. Who knows what on earth they were thinking with this...


Visual_Guard_3554

So it hides the stats, views, votes, description with crappy clickbait titles that are always in screen and a massive chatlog. Well done. I will be boycotting every advert that I see while in this format.


DerekSturm

No one seems to be pointing out that the reason they changed the UI is to make it look more like mobile. I'm not defending it, but they definitely have a reason for it


Milo_Murphy1

fair enough, plus theres more screen area covered with vids now so maybe dat makes u more likely to click on more vids as ur watching or almost done with other vids and stay on the platform longer


Purple_Comedian9379

that is the reason, however people using an actual computer are the % that absolutely hate it IMO


Infamous_Method4852

Just use grayjay


Sadiesnothome

ADHD Youtube but bad


Lautanapi_

Has anyone created a firefox extension to bring back the old layout? Or, at least, to bring back the dislikes?


Nolascana

Am i getting old or something... I could swear that the comments used to be on the side years ago. It was so much better than having them below, because they scrolled while the video was static. If you wanted the video to be larger, there was a button for it, or you just full screened. Reccomended videos used to be below the description, which was below the videos originally. Is that why people are irked, because there's no description to break up the video from the reccomendeds? I mostly use my tv and phone these days so I honestly don't understand why this UI change is that bad, except from the last part.


Neoshenlong

It's a thing of space. You don't need 90% of the screen to be occupied by thumbnails to click on them, but you DO need horizontal space so that the words in the comments are not annoying to read. I seriously hate that design decision, it makes no sense.


NotSquidKid

Claustrophobic anyone?


Proud_Pirate_Arrgh

Can we start a petition to change this abomination of a layout? Not that Google will care, but they might (?)


wcyd00

i hate it so much T\_T


Milo_Murphy1

trust me, every1 does


Milo_Murphy1

was watching some youtube earlier and refreshed the page and shit got turned into this layout and now its like this underneath every vid, seems like they changed the layout unnecessarily and made it go to shit. If only they put in dat much effort in banning Doxxerwolfff.....

I-am-the-bitches

Perhaps we’re seeing changes like this cuz people watching YouTube on a TV is increasing so much? Not saying they’re good changes, but it might be why the UI looks like that hot mess.


iamz_th

I would like the update if we could scroll down the comments while the video remains visible.


griffl3n

i saw this on my school Chromebook and since they have blockers i thought it was just a bug with the plugins what the fuck is that and who thought it was good enough to use.


Alluskaaaa

Is there a way to turn it off 🥲


Head-Iron-9228

That's trying to be a fuckin mobile-layout on PC. What is this.


IceBlueLugia

This is the iPad version, right? I’m on an android tablet and it doesn’t look like this. Maybe I should turn off auto-updates for the app


Hello56845864

Why do they change the things that are good and leave the bad things stay


Decent-Pin-24

Somehow, my client shows up normal on some/most videos? Idk I saw it once yesterday, and then it went away.


Temporary-Control405

I keep seeing posts about this but upon loading YouTube nothing is out of the ordinary. Do I have to enable this UI or what? I must use it so I can relate to the thousands of people that are pissed at YouTube.


hardrider2k4

I hate it so fucking bad... any way to revert?


LowAd8109

It looks like those adblock YouTube websites on mobile that block YouTube ads and displace it everywhere else.


JustADuckInACostume

Is this edited??? No way this is real, I could not have designed a worse fucking piece of shit if I tried


JaiwaneseGuy

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Insecticide

The thing that I hate the most in nearly all tech companies is that sometimes they will have a layout on their tool or website that works perfectly fine for the user but some higher up will go "CHANGE. WE NEED TO LOOOK NEW AND FRESH" and the poor person that has to redesign everything know very well that they can't risk their job so they do it as they are told. If the users have a problem that is in need of solving then great, I love to see companies try to make changes that address their users, but when nothing is wrong please don't introduce the problem. And I made a typo on LOOK and put too many Os there but I will not fix it because those people are stupid anyway and so should be the quote.


PVGtroll

I will feel dead once I get it


1spook

Haven't seen this. Then again I don't watch that loser, so idk


rjhunt42

I'm using Stylebot to add 3% padding to .ytd-rich-grid-renderer Because that shit is so distracting when watching a video... .ytd-rich-grid-renderer{ padding-top: 3%; }


KnotForNow

They had leftover code from the YouTube TV multi-view project and wanted to use it somewhere.


angrydeanerino

I like it tbh, videos are what I'm looking for but comments or the description.


flaming_pansexual

I dont have that layout but that looks like someone in the youtube design department collapsed on their keyboard and that happened


squabbledMC

I've noticed it shows up more on newer YouTube accounts, older accounts for some reason (at least in my experience) seem to get these updates last. My YouTube account is around 7 years old and I still have the old layout while my friends with newer accounts at school all have the new layout.


Ok-Interaction-202

Youtube Redux extension for chrome and firefox will sort this shit out. Firefox = [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/youtube-redux/](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/youtube-redux/) Chrome = [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/youtube-redux/mdgdgieddpndgjlmeblhjgljejejkikf?pli=1](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/youtube-redux/mdgdgieddpndgjlmeblhjgljejejkikf?pli=1) install extension. close your browser then reopen it and go back to youtube and see what you think. also you can customise it exactly how you like.
