Change is good. I enjoy a nice refresh every once in a while. Most of the complaints I've been hearing have been something along the lines of "unorganized" or "I can't find (insert unnecessary feature here)!!!! OMG". Learn to deal with the new layout. Figure out where stuff is and move on.
Why change something that doesn't need to be fixed? The old layout was great. I miss YouTube 2006. =(
Why get a Mac over a PC? It's all about a matter of preference. Youtube doesn't cater to only one demographic, so it changes as it pleases, no matter how bad the feedback. Wait until the next update. You'll just *censored.4.0* and moan about it, only it'll be about how you just got used to this layout and now you have to start
all over again, because that seems to be a phobia of yours. I'll cease the argument, since arguing with you is like arguing with my elbow.
I like how they made the high rated comments gather up top. The rate barrier helps to keep the stupid from leaking into my eyes most of the time.
The difference between Macs and PCs is irrelevant to this. In that situation, you have a choice between two operating systems. You
don't have a choice between two YouTubes. Now, if they would've been smart and gave you the option to still use the old layout, then things would be different. But no, Google is forcing these changes on everyone. Yes, there are people who like the new design better, but many, many people prefer the old layout more, and everyone's already used to it, so what's the point in changing it? They could always add new features without completely messing with everything. Why get rid of 5 star ratings for Like/Dislike? Why not keep
both?! Google is changing everything that made YouTube great. Ever since Google bought it, it's been going downhill. Don't get me wrong, I still like YouTube, but I liked it much better how it was years ago. I'm not whining about the new layout or anything. I can live with it, but I don't think Google is doing the right thing here. I don't see why they feel the need to change so much about YouTube. It was fine how it was. They can
add new stuff all they want (unless it's more ads, no one wants that), but why
change and
remove things?!
These many people that prefer the old layout don't actually prefer the old layout, they just dislike change.
They are changing it because you can't keep the same thing forever, you need to refresh and update, no it wasn't "needed" but if everything stayed the same forever and always we'd still be neglecting gay and black people, and forcing children to clean chimneys.
The idea of keeping both ratings and thumbs up/down is terrible, they would conflict. I don't see why you or anyone else has such an issue with the stars being removed, EVERYONE either voted 5 or 1 star anyway. The only dislike I have with thumbs up/down is that I can't see the rating before I rate, which really isn't that big of a deal.
Google isn't changing anything that made YouTube great, if you think that, you don't understand the concept of YouTube. What makes YouTube great is the community, the fact that a user can create a video and get responses from the audience and the fact that a normal person like you and I can get our thoughts, feelings and opinions out to the world through a simple video. A layout is not and will never be what makes YouTube great.
Ever since Google brought YouTube, if anything, it's been going uphill. If it wasn't for Google, we wouldn't have the type of videos we have today. By having the partner system it means people can make a living through YouTube videos which also means they have more time to make the YouTube videos that we love because they don't have a full-time job to commit to.
I think the only reason you so passionately hate the new layout is because you have an odd, unknown hate for Google. Seriously, get over it.
If you want to reply to this post, come up with some proper reasons for what's so bad about the layout and Google "destroying" YouTube, rather than the fact the 5-stars are gone, or it looks bad.
Easter season is here! Here's what we have going on at The Bell Tree:
