You could always, I don't know, fullscreen? And if the quality is too much for your internet you just turn it down again?6th And Silver said:

Why do they keep doing this ?? When people get used to the previous layout they change it to another one.
My complaints:
-Too much white, a good part of the screen is just empty
-The top bar with search and logo got smaller the playlist bar looks worse.
-I don't give a shit about recommended videos, why do you keep promoting it at every turn. If I want something I will find it. You could stop dumping celebrity videos into my main page.
P.S. It looks facebook-y (with the portraits and all) and I don't think I like it.

it could do with having less empty space and less white. also i'm not sure about adding the ability to have avatars is good or bad.
but beyond the new layout is just a meh for me. i only remember how the layout looked before the latest change so i don't have much to compare new lay to.

I actually like it, fixed alot of issues I had with previous looks.
Only thing they should patch is that I want my subscribtions (with only uploa activity) as my feed instead of recommended stuff.

For the most part I don't mind the changes, but the size of the ads that they sometimes place at the top of the page bugs me. This new layout clearly has decreased the size of things like buttons and the search bar, so having a massive ad take up so much space amidst smaller-sized pieces sticks out like a sore thumb, and when watching a video it pushes everything down. The first thing that should be catching my eye is the video itself, not an ad.
if you want to only see you're subscriptions, change you're bookmark to: http://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions/u
the only thing that really bothers me about the new layout is that i can't figure out how to find my favorites on the main site, now.

Something else I just noticed was the fact that the title is now below the video instead of above it. This isn't a huge problem, but it's rather annoying, especially since I'd usually scroll down so that the title wasn't visible if it was something I didn't want other people to see.
I never liked any of the updates they've made so far but at least they were well organized each time. This is the first update that has actually hampered my ability somewhat to use their site.
I'll be happy if they bring back that long lost feature of "hide the comments".

It's a great layout, I really enjoy going to the home page and having to click 2 more links to get to my subscriptions and their uploads only. It's a solid decision that could only be enhanced by adding more ways to introduce me to youtube subs that I have no interest in. Hmm...wait.
Is Google part of some conspiracy to promote the use of 800x600 monitors?
No?
Then I have no fucking idea what is going on.

I absolutely hate it, especially when I'm subscribed to a channel that uses similar titles. For example I watch a channel that has "Team Battle..." in a bunch of videos, and I watch one of the new ones and it recommends videos from months ago from the user. If I wanted to watch old videos from the person I'd go to their channel and look for the video. There is absolutely no reason to force another click from users.
I'm sure I will like it once I get used to it, but I am getting sick of getting used to these changes. I don't mind improvements but there was nothing wrong with the old system, and this new one is hardly better.
Dammit, I was just about to post that.Soviet Heavy said:

OT: I don't get what everyone's bitching about. It's not any uglier than it was before, it's just different. Give it about a week or less and everybody will generally shut up (as it is with any update to website design).
Eh. It's not great, but I won't really care in a matter of days. They'll change it again soon enough. I get to see the video and read the dumb comments, so it's at least passable.
Ok, I have NEVER complained about any of the changes before. I can handle the stupid whitespace thing. The loss of being able to have only uploads show from my subscriptions? Fine, annoying but I'll manage. But this:
- is the straw that breaks the camels back for me. It's a small thing but it really made navigating through videos easier even if it only showed newer videos from the video you're clicking from. Get's a lot worse if it's a huge channel(Have fun skimming through a page of 300 vids, kids) or part of a series(Gee youtube, I sure would like the next part in my recommended bar instead of a video I just watched 5 seconds ago. Pretty please? Oh, some celebrity paid for crap? tha-that's nice)Hazy992 said:
