I have quite a wide laptop screen, and the new youtube layout has over a third of the section on the right unused.

There are some goods stuff about the changes, right?

The playlist. When you "Play All" you can browse and choose the videos that exist on the playlist at the right side of the video you're currently watching. It's less tedious than the old one.

Video Player design. Aside the comments section and the suggestion side bar. This is probably personal tho.

The subscription side bar at the front page. Usually the subscription choices are limited, but now it's fix.

I really don't care what they change the layout to, honestly.
It seems to function fine.

Kind of unrelated, but how do you get recommendations off your fucking related videos list?

I swear this video has been appearing in pretty much every video I watch. It's like Youtube is saying HEY LOOK HERE WATCH THIS VIDEO HEY LOOK FAGGOT LOOK HERE WATCH THIS. I'm tired of seeing his shitty face. I already watch that video too. That was the first one of his that I watched before trailing off into his other videos for like an hour and then getting bored of him.

The same thing has been happening to me, except with different videos. I think one way to solve this is to clear your video viewing history. Maybe.

Bunch of fuck faces :mad:

I'm going to guess its because

A: He has a partnership with YouTube
B: He gets a lot of views. Making YouTube money
C: He might pay them extra so they would showcase his shit everywhere (because I see that annoying fucking face everywhere)

LMFAO the filename: "whyareyouherefuckoff.png"

I used some script for Google Chrome to revert back to the old layout. Worked like a charm, but now whenever I use Inspect Element on the Youtube page it comes up with a bunch of errors. Huh. Hoping I didn't fuck anything up too bad.

I realize this topic is more than a week old, and before you jump on me to criticize me like the righteous white knights you are, let me remind you that bumping has always been allowed if the bump contributes to the thread in a positive capacity. That being said, there's some interesting information about the new layout that the designers themselves have answered:

What’s the point of this update? http://youtu.be/JV27jxYmN2w?t=1m8s
Why does the homepage default to “What to Watch” instead of uploads only from my subscriptions? http://youtu.be/JV27jxYmN2w?t=7m43s
Why isn’t the site centered? http://youtu.be/JV27jxYmN2w?t=20m42s

Also, they're doing an AMA on Reddit right now, so likely there will be more questions answered and reasons given for those of you who are up in arms about the new design.
