The New YouTube Layout: Thoughts?

[soren7550]

Well, last night I was loading up this video of the 160 best Swartzenager (know I spelled that wrong) lines when I noticed that YouTube changed up a bit. To put it simply, most everything has been moved & sort of compressed. Most notably (to me at the moment anyway) is the removal of the five star rating system. Going through the 'tutorial' for YouTube, it gave the explanation that the old rating system didn't work/could have been better, something along the lines of that (was around midnight I checked, so I can't remember so much).
So now we have a Like/Dislike voting system.

You know what, just check it out. I can't describe it too well. Once you see it, post here what you think. I personally don't like it, and if there's a way to switch it back can someone here tell me? Thanks in advance.

I think it sucks, but then again, I only use Youtube for listening to music and watching Yu Gi Oh Abridged.

Well, everything new is always unfamiliar and uncomfortable, but I think it's pretty nice.

I'm sure we'll all get used to it, and won't even remember the old layout soon.

It is damned awful. Hell, I still want the old Escapist layout back.

I guess I'll have to adapt.

I thought it was an april fools joke.

Its amazingly bad, theres no way they can be seriously thinking of using that mess...

And how.
Tbh it never bothers me that much when a site changes its layout. What bugs me are the people who complain about it, esp on Facebook. I guess it's just something they do to keep the designers earning their keep.

As for Youtube, it seems like their copying FB's like or not thing for statuses.

I've noticed that myself. Frankly the old layout was much softer on the eyes IMO.
