Tell us more about the cunting screen.

[-] Takeshidude@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Wow, I guess I am old, I remember when this is what YouTube used to look like.

Weird nostalgia trip; I definitely don't think it's better, but if I can scroll through comments and watch the video at the same time, I won't complain.

In the interest of de-centralization and sharing the load, I'm running Invidious here:

Once they limited user page customization it was never the same.

[-] Takeshidude@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Man those custom channel pages were so fun

[-] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

lol did you post almost exactly the same thing on reddit? context

[-] Takeshidude@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Indeed! I left the Reddit comment and thought, “wait Lemmy is where it’s at, I need to comment there.” And so I did

I found a r*ddit post of someone talking about this new layout. If they go through with it, youtube is dead for me.

Has the youtube UI changed for that many people? Still the same for me as it was.

[-] Dasnap@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

Probably an A/B deployment or something similar. You'll get it eventually.

Thank the chad KartongFace who has this tubular script as their only project on Greasy Fork.

[-] Ozy@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

can you show the changes? I wanna see what were in for this time..

[-] Dasnap@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I watch in theatre mode but this is what I see by default when I scroll down a little further:

It also breaks ReturnYouTubeDislike (:

[-] Ozy@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

oh god that's horrible, it's like a very fucked up tablet ui

[-] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

i like the new layout, it feels more in line with what youtube is like on a phone. seems like it'll be easier to scroll through comments while watching a video, as well as easier to ignore suggested videos until the content your watching is done. Then once the video is over, it'll be easier to see a lot of videos at once, increasing the speed at which you'll find something else you're interested in. I'm not seeing any real downsides here, can someone help me understand ways this is worse? feels weird seeing all this hate and not getting it.

[-] ShadowCat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago

I agree with you, it's probably just most people are really used to the old layout and don't want to change

[-] Liz@midwest.social 1 points 8 months ago

In theater mode the comments are so small it's like YouTube wanted to kill the comments section without outright getting rid of them.

Literally I will now open my phone if I want to leave a comment, because using a tiny strip on the side of my screen is absolutely stupid.

"Outdated"? How dare you.
