oh yeah, and this.
I swear those sites must be paid to say nice things, made to look like blogs so people subconsciously take it for someone else's opinion and think better of the subject. Ho-hum, psychology is easy, perhaps I should've taken it.

That may be true, but it looks official since they made a 'Getting Started' page explaining it. Would they really do all of that changing just for an April fools joke?

I think it is real, just considered that it could be a joke given how other sites are hated for changing layouts.

Well, confusion aside, I like some aspects of the new pages. When there are lots of comments, I think the page looks a lot cleaner and it's easier to find related videos along the side because you aren't restricted by scrollbars and a billion categories. (Actually, I think the categories along the side are the same as always but there's more space for them so it's easier to look through them.)

But with no comments on the page, it looks really, really empty. D: There aren't enough lines on the page to direct your attention and it's just very hard for your eyes to make their way down the page. Actually, even with a full page of comments (so that it goes into pagination), the comments still don't go down far enough to match most of the related videos so you're still left with way too much blank space. :(

The design definitely needs more lines. There's waaaay too much empty space and I don't like that. Nor do I like the location of the description. D: I do like some of the new buttons they added, but overall it's just... the good things about it don't really outweigh the bad. D: I'm a big fan of redesigns on the web, normally, but this one just seems like they started redesigning the page and got a bunch of ideas for it, but instead of integrating them and making the page the best it can be, they just kind of half-assed it and stopped in the middle saying "Well, this is good enough." It just looks very unfinished.

Also I doubt this is April Fools since, like I said before, I've seen this layout for at least a week now. :/

It launched too early to be an April Fool's joke I think. I'm not fond of the changes. It lacks.....cohesiveness. Just very "floaty". Can't tell how to do anything that I was able to do before.

One of the above links led me to what I think is a much better layout.

You can find it here

Opinions?

Well, anything's better than what they have now, but I still think the original video page layout is much better.

This new layout is a total joke. The layout it had was fine >.> - It's turning into Facebook now, changing it's layout when no one really wants it to with the end result being that bit more horrendous >.<

Facebook had this same problem, they keep updating things when it was near-perfect before. Sometimes change isn't always better, I thought the old youtube was close to perfection, a lot simpler and easier to use... was the change really that necessary?

I despise the new lay-out; it's hideous, and it's not user-friendly. It's hard to view profiles now, and it's really disorganized.

They should just scrap it.

So that's why Youtube looked so weird when I got on my brother's laptop earlier.

I don't like it. :/ The old way was definitely much better, as what's been said above.

Actually, as a guy who did a lot with PCs and unfamiliar crap and annoying problems, this is by far one of the worst situations I see. If I don't call it user friendly, then I added a swear word. This makes p**p look good.

Also, a funny regard, YouTube claims that "1 star or 5 star is used as ranking" which is obviously true. It eithe sucks or rocks, 2 star is the rating I barely use. 4 and 3 are more common and 1 and 5 are the very common.

You guys should really stop complaining you all know you're gonna get get used to it so whats the point of complaining.
*cuts in half*
Given how it seems 19/20 opinions are negative, one never knows. Chances are they will keep it just to be bell-ends, and we HAVE to get used to it purely since it's the only video site with half decent load times and many videos not uploaded elsewhere. It's like if Windows got botched up (which it did to an extent, see Vista), it would still be on top purely due to the majority of software only being available for it.
