On first glance I think it looks nice. It’s just a little sharper and more of a modern style choice.
Users reporting issues with the volume scroller have a point and hopefully that’s addressed. I do dislike when features are removed because the only aim is to be “simpler”
Never before have YouTube users hated a new (worse) design
Havent seen it, I know I’ll hate it. I have never seen a UI redesign by any company that was actually good. Maybe once, but couldn’t remember them for the life of me.
Youtube has had multiple redesigns over its lifespan, and I’ll bet you probably do prefer the last one over their original 2005 UI.
Absolutely. A particular bugbear of mine is the “Continue as $username on $TV?” drag-up panel at the bottom when it detects another TV on the same network.
No YouTube, I’d have clicked that big fuckoff cast button in the top right if I wanted people to see my Celine Dion addiction in sixty diagonal inches. Worse still, you have to swipe away the panel before clicking on any other link or tappable object in view.
It’s not just the once either. Fuck off.
e: and another thing, fuck your shorts too. I’ll watch them when I actually want (and bear with me here) short form content, not crowbarred into my search results like an algorithmic equivalent of someone wearing a white dress at someone else’s wedding. Fuck all the way off.
Users always hate when you change anything in established UIs so this doesn’t really tell you that much qualitatively about the UI itself.
You have to wait for a while for sentiments to settle before people actually figure stuff out. Until then, you just kind of have to rely on your UX skills to evaluate the UI (and monitor metrics of course)
Idk about this new design, but I have noticed you can’t select an option to never show a channel again anymore. That’s some major bullshit.
