same, one way around that is clicking on one of the two icons on the top left below the youtube logo then click either "my subscriptions" or "more from my subscriptions" that should take straight to your sub box and show uploads only assuming you have already clicked it. the two icons in the top left also help center the layout. many people don't realise this. all in all this layout is way better than the previous one, once people stop bitching it will seamlessly grow over them.

I agree. This is my main issue.
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.

I just have a link to my subscription page on my bookmark toolbar. Saves me the hassle of even visiting the home page.

Tbf though most people don't like change. It's hard for the biggest supplier of anything to change because of the backlash it causes, so if Google think this is better I am glad they have the guts to do it.

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.

The biggest problem I have with it is the color combination. There is too much white and the grey sidebars aren't grey enough to add a little bit of contrast. Wish they would use some more of the red as well. It's simply too bright. Also not sure why they went with left align.

changes just for the heck of it are annoying . Is the new look any more useful ? no it's kinda empty , overly white , sterile and aseptized .

You mostly loose useful options , and gotta search them out now
