Telltale Games

I hate it. I used to be able to view my subscriptions on the front page categorized by uploader. Now it's jumbled up by organizing solely by the latest video uploaded, which means all the uploaders are in a confusing mess. And there's no way to customize it. Also, they used to go horizontally across the screen and now they just list them one by one and you have to scroll ALLLLLL the way down to see them all. Horrible setup. I hear they were trying to copy a more TV-like format or something.

I think it sucks.

CHANGE? FOR THE BETTER?!? HOW DARE THEY. They'll be hearing from my lawyers about this!

Remolay · 12/02/2011, 06:02 pm

I was one of the few people who liked the old setup from the beginning. It worked for me and I could find almost everything. Then the sub boxes started breaking and I could only find some things. Now I don't know if they fixed them because I can't find videos anyway.

coolsome · 12/02/2011, 06:04 pm

I just plain don't care anymore.

Gman5852 · 12/02/2011, 06:22 pm

I just want to delete the videos Ive already seen.

I also don't care about who commented what, and I CERTAINLY don't want that video to then appear in my sub box as priority over the videos I subscribed to.

Remolay · 12/02/2011, 06:32 pm

You know theres a box you can check to only see subscriptions right?

Debbie82 · 12/02/2011, 06:33 pm

Well, here's the link for those of you who don't like the new homepage:

That's awesome. I wonder how long that will last. It's a much better design layout. And I always have it set to only see my subscriptions. The new layout is just horribly confusing and cumbersome.

Did you actually even read MusicallyInspired's criticisms?

BUT. Then any announcements they make via their channel, I can't see/read.

The only change Youtube has ever made the did not pay off in the end has been HTML5, and I'll assume that'll become better integrated once it becomes mandatory as it's rather recent.

Any layout change to any website will be universally hated by all of its users. Until the next change of course. It's a basic law of the internet.

Lovely.
The home screen is honestly my only complaint as I dont check out the channels anyway and they didn't do much to the rest besides a change in look, so I hope this work around stays.

Thank you so much for that awesome tip, the new YouTube design is a huge step backwards for navigating subscriptions.

Alcoremortis · 12/03/2011, 10:58 am

I...didn't even notice. I suppose that's because I never use the home page except for an initial search point.

Friar · 12/03/2011, 01:05 pm

I like the new site. It makes it easier to see what videos are actually new. The option to switch to a subscriber folder view would be nice for some, but isn't it a bit irrelevant? After all, you like all the providers you subscribe to, else you would unsubscribe, right?

RetroVortex · 12/03/2011, 01:20 pm

YOUTUBE!

WHY U SO GREY?!!!?

Please go back to white... I liked white...

But they're not organized in order anymore. Case and point:

Old (organized by uploader):

New (scroll all the way down to see the jumbled mess):

Ribs · 12/03/2011, 03:42 pm

I still don't see the problem with any of this. All of the people's points boil down to 'I can't see more than one video on the main page at the same time', which is completely understandable, as Youtube wants you using their service more frequently so as not to miss videos.
