New youtube layout?
(lemmy.world)
Hey, I was browsing youtube in private mode, and out of nowhere it started looking like this, I really hope this doesn't go through lolol...
(the black square bottom right is probably an ad being blocked.
I've been getting very close to ditching YouTube. This change showed up a few weeks ago for me and pushed me a bit further.
If they succeed in inserting ads into the video stream I'll bail alltogether. I can fit a subscription to Brilliant, Dropout, and several creator Patreons into the cost of a YouTube Red subscription, and I won't have to deal with these attention-optimizing UI changes.
You can use some of the alternatives like Piped in web browser or desktop app called FreeTube
That is true, but not solving the problem with other searches like the normal web search.
