yes it's "that thread" again. every time youtube changes its format someone will always open a thread to complain about it, and this time I am that guy.
last one really grew on me because it shows the new videos grouped by the channels I subscribed. now it's not even grouped together any more, just sorted by upload time. youtube managed to make the page look more crowded while showing less content! even the browse changed quite much by enlarging the thumbnails in each category so that you have to scroll more to look through categories.
I don't have any images of old sites right now, but so far their facebook page is getting rocked pretty hard for the format change. youtube always seem to introduce some bad formatting and then had to spend time fix them because of all the complaints they are getting. I thought major websites hire designers who studied formatting efficiency and style and then ask public opinion for feedbacks before pushing out new designs, but so far all I see is unnecessary style upgrade at the expense of usage efficiency. I think the new formatting even loads slower than the last one.
don't fix it if it's not broken. they should have just updated the style but keep the formatting the same.
