Maximum PC: "Google rolled out a new look for YouTube on Thursday, around a year after the world’s most popular online video site received its last facelift. The last overhaul focused on giving greater prominence to the user’s personalized content, and this one takes that even further with a cleaner, simpler look that “gets out of the way and lets content truly shine.”
I don't want to watch youtube recs. I want youtube to open up to my subs only. And I wish they would have kept the inbox option there as well.
And when we're searching for vids, I don't know why they removed sort by upload date.. I used that like everyday.
Imo it is better too, the video should be front and centre. The other info can be accessed quickly in a drop-down. All I really care about is the video though.
You mostly loose useful options , and gotta search them out now
I'll start by saying that the only redeeming new feature is the subscription filter, this can be very useful for users who subscribe to allot of channels. Other than that the rest is garbage.
Its more cumbersome now to find the videos my subscriptions uploaded. You have to go through a number of things to be able to see the recent videos that were uploaded and to make things worst, their is nothing there for you to set your preference so you will have to redo the same routeen every time you visit or go to the home page.
They made the font and the logo smaller and this makes things look small and clustered.
Their video recommendation system sucks. If you are a user like me who watches videos that are based on current events so for me, when ever I see the recommendations, its always some old video that is a few days to almost 3 weeks old thus has no use to me.
I also hate how they are trying to turn youtube into a social media site like facebook and I am sure the majority of the users don't care for that on youtube. What we want to see are the videos our subscriptions upload. Not every video they like, comment on or favorate. I remember the first day they layout changed and the uploads only option was missing. What a nightmare that was.
