Youtube's new look
« on: October 24, 2012, 04:20:23 pm »
Suddenly, within the past hour, Youtube has changed. Now it looks a lot like Google+. I don't think I like it.

Do you guys?

I haven't noticed any change, even paging around in it a bit.  Maybe it hasn't gotten to this latitude yet.

Is this another attempt at the weird front page? /my_subscriptions looks perfectly fine and unchanged.

They always phase in stuff gradually, so me and a friend in the same city at some point saw different interfaces to Gmail. So the fact that different people see different things is not at all surprising.

Mine changed between reloading the page once. I like the layout, but I'm still searching for the option to hide anything but uploads.

Yeah, I posted before I realized that they roll it out in phases. Mine looks like this now:

Best of luck to you. That is the only way that I will like this layout. I don't care about socializing on youtube, and I honestly don't care for who my subscriptions watch, or what they say in comments, or whatever. I go to a video host to watch videos, so if that option isn't prominent, then I won't be happy. Otherwise, I really couldn't care less.  :P

"We Are Google.  You Will Be Socialized."

"Your search - resistance - did not match any documents.

Did you mean: capitulation ?"

So far I've found the option to do it on a subscription basis, but I'd like a global setting. Not found one yet :P

That looks...Not at all different. (Stylish theme or lack of one notwithstanding) Although they did widen the center bit, I wouldn't say its gong to budge me from /my_subscriptions.
My youtube bookmark looks like this at the top:

I use Google Reader to manage my subscriptions since YouTube's sub box is unreliable at best and doesn't work on mobile. So I don't see much of YouTube's changes unless they have to do with videos, though I'll check out the front page from time to time.

Mine's been doing that new face dance for the last week or so. Given that they didn't change it all that long ago - and I'd only just warmed to that one - I was at first somewhat reluctant to accept the latest iteration in my life. We're taking it slowly.

:\ Annoying thing about the new look: Playlists no longer have an autoplay toggle. They are permanently stuck in autoplay mode.

Nope. Still autoplays in normal viewing.
