A selection of YouTube viewers have recently noticed there’s a little something different with the look of the website.
Just don’t break my uBlock shorts filters …
The most annoying thing of the new design is the bs merch blocking a significant part of the comments section. But I hope there’s gonna be a ublock filter for this too
If video suggestions get more space to show their title, that’s good. If they could also show their date of publication, that would be perfect.
I’m gonna go against the grain and say this is the only change I’ve seen them make in a long time that I’m glad to see. I often read comments while watching the video, especially now that dislikes are gone to quickly tell if a video is real or not, or if there’s anything else to be wary of. I never scroll video suggestions until after I’m done watching the video, to decide what to watch next. This layout just makes more sense for that.
When I scroll down to the comments, a smaller version of the video already remains visible on top. Is this not a default youtube feature?
That does look like crap. I bet someone will make a browser addon that changes it back.
All I want is for shorts to find its own home, and for search results to be relevant again.
It now feels like one of those crappy porn tube websites… 😐
Just don’t take away the option to fully use the width for the video and I don’t care. I’m either viewing in full screen or with a browser window only showing the video.
On a side note: Why make comments more prominent? They have always been pretty bad, but last time I checked half of them were bots with softcore porn images. Don’t think they have fixed that yet.
Actually I had it for about a month but they switched me back to the normal version. I did write them a strongly worded feedback, but I dont think it was because of that.
