New Youtube Layout, your thoughts on it?

5162 Views 74 Posts On the Internet
Just fired up Youtube for the first time in a couple of days and noticed the new look and layout. I heard it was on its way but also heard there was still some bugs in it that were not yet sorted out during the beta, guess I'll find out more as I go along.

At first glance I don't like the new logo you get in your book mark tool bar and URL bar, not a big thing obviously.
Home page seems to be easy enough to navigate, a little more handy having both my subscription feed and recommended videos on there. With the recommended videos it makes it easier to avoid clicking on crap by installing the preview plug-in pc.mmgn.com/... pretty happy that still works after the update.

Also quickly setup up the account linking options with Twitter and Facebook which was surprisingly easy to do. Just be careful if you have multiple email addresses for different social media accounts. When I went to link my Twitter account it automatically grabbed the MMGN Twitter account without prompting me about it , had to go back are sort that out again.

Like I said still early days and I'll go about using at I normally do and see what problems I encounter and how much of the new stuff actually makes using Youtube better.

Share your thoughts and any tips, cool stuff, issues, bugs etc with us in this thread.
i like it because it is neater and easier to navigate. i hate the new google though.
sucks want the old one back
I like the look.. Much nicer.
It wouldn't hurt for them to stick with a layout for longer than 12 months, but I don't mind it.

The twitter like feed is kinda samey, but they way you can view just uploads is ok.

I don't mind it, it's a bit buggy though.
Still plays videos the same for me, so yeah, I don't hate it, I don't love it.

Only recent addition that shits me off is the adverts before EVERY.SINGLE.VIDEO [Rage] [Rage]

that is annoying
They seemed to have added a monetisation option with it turned on by default.

Only found it on my channel by accident.

I wished the thumbs up and the thumbs down button was still green and red. But other than that, I don't really mind it. I'm not gonna complain for something that we get for free.

see i like the video pages because they are basically the cosmic panda video pages in a different colour, its the main page that ticks me off!

the old main page was great, you could see multiple videos from multiple subscriptions at once. this new one has obviously been designed for smartphone use.
Never liked any of Youtube's layouts, always cluttered and with a whole bunch of stuff that casual users like myself a) have no interest in b) have no idea what it is there for. No different with this one.

+1
If anyone wants to go to the old main page (though it is slightly different), just add /home on the youtube URL.

i love you

marry my pants
Youtube's last layout has been the best by far I think, since if someone uploaded lots of videos at once it wouldn't clutter everything up. I don't mind the new layout as a whole, I just don't like the new home page.

I like the new google a lot better than the old one. A lot more neater in my opinion.
Haters gonna hate. But I think it looks really good :)

5 to 30 cents per like on a video. It depends how 'popular' the Director is.
It doesn't affect me so much as it does others, as I view youtube primarily on my iPhone. It doesn't seem to much affect video watching itself, so I'm not complaining. The layout itself looks nice, though it seems a little over-cluttered. I suppose I prefer my webpages as minimalistic as possible...
