SilentSeas Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 1. The comments system is terrible. The Comments suck anyway, there's too much hate. I still like reading them anyway. Same here, a lot of them make me lol. To me YouTube is the idiots meeting place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak2121 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Well I'm getting used to it but I can't post comments, rate, favorite or add videos to my playlists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I guess they dumbed down the ratings system, along with a good majority of the site. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Goose Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 It's ugly, stupid, weren't needed and annoying. Bloody YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallasa Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Holy mother of god, just when you thought YouTube couldn't possible f*ck things up any more. Well, I guess they have to appease to the mass of idiots infesting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gezim Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 They actually improved it a bit. It's much easier to view another user's videos if you're already playing one of them. The video description has been placed nicely. The comments have been raped in the ass and the stars have been replaced by some unoriginal "I like it" "I dislike" horse sh*t. They should put lines between comments or a box around a comment so you could tell who is saying what, easier. It looks a little messy right now.

Clem Fandango Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Hopefully they'll give us a "classic layout" option sometime in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epoxi Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 To be honest, I didn't think YouTube was old enough to have a "New YouTube." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mince Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 To be honest, I didn't think YouTube was old enough to have a "New YouTube." Haha, that's what I thought too. In my opinion, new Youtubes are getting old lately. They keep changing the design too much. I liked it best maybe a month ago, before the new major changes and with the new quality select menu.

Otter Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Well, I know from the advertising world that the trend with websites is to streamline, streamline, streamline. The future is mobile friendly, so we're going to see a lot of our favorite sites take similar paths. I don't mind it so much, really. Only problem for me is that it totally dates the crabland episode about stupid user comments. Edit - PS: Autoplay is awesome. They should have added that years ago; I'm a huuuuug fan of stumblevideo for that reason alone. Edited April 1, 2010 by Otter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCstuntman Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 If you right click Youtube's new logo the default name to save it is "logo_april_fools-vfl157034". Just an April Fool's joke after all? And @playaindahood: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cursed Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 It wouldn't be so bad if their videos didn't buffer so slowly. I'm convinced it's a problem on their end because I've heard other people complaining about this recently. I used to be able to watch 480p and HD fine, now I have to turn everything down to 360p.

johnny_zoo Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 everything has been replaced with something similar but less creative. The stars have been replaced by "most liked" or "most hated" and the rating has been replaced by an thumbs up or a thumbs down. Commenting is worse because you can't tell what someone rated it and it's like an early youtube. the only thing good about it is how you can view videos in it's original quality if you want. it overall sucks though. is it just temporary? Yes I noticed this late last night, and I thought it sucked then too, not to sound paranoid but it happened just shortly after 00:00am and today is April Fools Day.

Jack_Knife Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 The new layout's been available for weeks, the TEXTp thing is their April Fool's thing. Everyone in my house has been loving the new layout for a while now. Also, check this out in regards to the thumbs up/down thing: http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2009/09...te-ratings.html "You can play faster than Al Di Meola and do it with only one pinky, but if you're not listening to what is going on around you, you might as well just shut up" isn't your croth suppose to be erecting when you have an orgasm?

RomanViking Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 The one thing that pisses me off the most is commerical breaks and ads! I'm on the internet for god's sake! I'm not watching tv! Google screwed up the whole site... YouTube is a free service with huge bills to pay -- they kinda need to make money. So unless you want to start donating to the website, my advice is to shut the f*ck up and deal with it. I don't like all the new crap they've introduced. Especially the widescreen when 80% of videos are still in 4:3 That's like saying "I don't like the 720p setting because most of the videos on YouTube aren't in 720p". The button takes up what? half an inch of your screen, if that? Most of the sh*t you guys are complaining about doesn't even warrant a complaint. Yeah pretty much. But why WHY did they replace the 0-5 star rating system?! Advertisements don't bother me, they have to pay for all these free streaming videos being sent to millions of people all over the world every second, somehow. But they need to ditch the new rating system, because it's not half as informative or easy to understand as the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
