I think he's trying to be like "ehl" lmaoo. Ehl uses his "signature font" if you will, with the color of his RHG whenever he types. Not really sure if that's what Pin's going for, but that's how I see it



I dunno. At first I did it as a joke, but I like looking different from normal text and I stand out doing it. It's not realy much of a issue because you read and move on but I think its starting a fad. .-.

N8ster was the only person that I knew did this, he bolds and changes color.
Zinx3rd does it, changes color and font.
I guess ehl does it.

And now other people are starting to change it too.
I'm not trying to start anything I just like doing It. I wear 2 different color shoes too at school because it makes me different. I like being different from everyone else and this font change is suddle. No one really cares, they ask why and say okay. The only person who had a large issue with it is jombo. I think its because I make more posts than ehl and n8ster so mine is more noticable lol

I don't see it as much of a big deal, especially due to this:
About 2 years ago, I used to dye my hair somewhat often, I had a lot people telling me to go back to my original hair colour because they thought I looked better that way, I ended up getting bored with my hair colour, and wanted to try something new, which is what YouTube probably thinks, they're bored with their current design, and want to try something new and make their site that much better.
But at the end of the day, they're trying to make things better, it's not really their fault if they can't 100% satisfy you individually.
I'll admit to not being as fond with the current update as the old one, but I'll just eventually get used to it sooner or later.

That's a terrible comparison, you can't really compare an internet website layout to dying your hair color.
One is for the public majority for the millions who browse the same pages, the other is for yourself, because it's your hair and your hair alone. See how that works?
That's not the problem.
The problem here is that youtube has grown INCREDIBLY inconvinient. Before, user customization was quick, easy, and in it's own way, fun.
The issue with these new layouts is they youtube likes to place their things at random places at times, it took me a good amount of time to find where the fuck everything was on my channel, and some of the options that made channel browsing and additional info easy was laid to waste by YT's new layouts.
I remember when you could clearly see ones information, subscribers, comments, videos, views, activity, and announcements with a quick look at the page, hell you could even change that shit around to suit your preference.
You can't do that anymore, not much of it anyway.
The front page doesn't take advantage of the MASSIVE amount of space the layouts left behind.
Youtube these days is better suit for their advertisements and banners, which NO ONE can give a shit about half the time.
5 bucks says the now empty frontpage will be overrun with ads.

i think the Second Layout was the easiest when it came to profile navigation.


Your right on this, the second one was the easiest, for that stuff. But I like the first layout because it kind of gave Youtube that look it i guess.

I like the new layout. it's cool. It's a lot more professional and yet simplistic looking. The playlist being on the side rather than the bottom is a lot more convenient. you have a side tab on the left that lets you do more stuffs... ya. looks nice and clean and good.

.....but it's hard to get used to when you had the old one for a year or two now....

I liked the second one more, but I'm not having trouble finding anything so far with Youtube 3. It still feels the exact same as before, just under a different skin, which I'm sure if they keep it we'll get used to it (I hope they don't keep it).

Yo mama
I don't like the simplicity of it all. And the fact that it shows me what everyone liked and faved on it and it continues to reccommend videos, which sounds fine, but it's not. You can make it show uploads only, but you have to continue to go to subscriptions >> Uploads only. And it wont save that way. So every time you're on the front page you have to click it and it's a hassle. And the large majority of the site being nothing at all so everything is pushed to the left bugs the holy shit out of me. ._.

It's almost the same as the last one though... except they moved a few things and changed the layout. In a good way I think.
