Like, just this instant, they changed it. And, they're not good at being funny...
So, as I feel it's an important enough site to merit this thread, what does everyone think about it?

I find it bothersome, I'll go with it, but maybe I'll finally make an account to go with the "I prefer the old-fashioned layout!" option they mention. In the end, even Google is beginning to fix things that aren't broken by making them worse? Hmph. It makes it rather confusing and laggy like every other video site. Others' immediate reactions seem poor, too.

Exactly! its absolutley terrible, they should make it so you can choose which layout!
I agree too.

Anyways, I noticed that when I was going to upload a video on YouTube. It's called "Charizard632's April Fools Day Special"! It's a Mario Party 6 Blooper, which may be the first ever on YouTube.
Touhou is completely awesome! I recommend it to all otakus, hardcore gamers, and fans of unpopular music.

Why are the replies dated to September 2008, now? That aside, this layout is rather tough to work with. Hopefully the old one will be back on April 2nd.

They... wow, I didn't notice that. I'll edit the OP with the other show of hands I saw, which certainly is dated 2010 (well, not explicitly on the page, but it says "2 hours ago" at this moment and Google says 31 Mar 2010 in the result).

There's just something I don't like about it. It's just…ew.
It's really a shame since I was in the minority that liked the new profile channel design.

I do like, however, that they decided to show who they were responding to.
It gets really confusing sometimes when someone posts a reply without actually replying and everyone is clueless as to who they're replying to.

I'm pretty sure it's an April Fools' Joke. Like the upside-down videos last year.

At least...I hope it's a joke. I can't seem to figure out how to randomize my playlist playing order. xD

Yeah, I hated the new layout too, and I think it's just a joke.

This new layout sucks, they have tried to make everything so compact, but it's impossible to find anything without having to click a trillion things first.

Also my youtube downloader add-on for firefox doesn't work anymore, which is what has really pissed me off.

I'm a bit confused... the layout I see on the YT videos is exactly the same as I've been seeing for about a week. o.o; Is that what everyone's talking about or am I just... not seeing the new one? o_O;

You tube really need to learn the term "if it aint broke dont fix it." But they keep changing it and changing it. ITS ANNOYING! its so bland!they could atleast you customize the background ( when watching videos ) differant colours.

Oh, looks like we can't right click videos down the side anymore to open them in new tabs or windows, either, now, because it's now a flash object or whatever...

I have no words anymore.


Edit: Found how this can be done, now, but... ehhhh.

Well apparently:
I've seen it change back and forth for weeks now and it's getting very annoying.
And they say you can change it back to the old layout, so if you're a registered member there it may have defaulted to it for you.

All i can say is: it sucks.
Seriously, why can't YouTube stick to ONE layout instead of switching it every damn two days... its getting on my nerves -.-

This new layout is so annoying, i actually liked rating how many stars i think the video is actually worth instead of either "liking it" or "disliking it".

I'm fine with the new layout. It took me ten seconds to figure out where things were, and now that I have, I think it's much better than the old one. If I remember correctly, every time YouTube has changed their layout, people have complained for a few days and then got used to it.

If it's a joke, then that would be great, but I think they might be serious about it, oh yeah, and this. The channel changes were debatable, but this is horrible, the description of the video really shouldn't be under the video, and taking out the avatar was another bad idea, google are ruining Youtube. They are so bad at designing.
