    Wow, I guess I am old, I remember when this is what YouTube used to look like.

    Weird nostalgia trip; I definitely don’t think it’s better, but if I can scroll through comments and watch the video at the same time, I won’t complain.

    In the interest of de-centralization and sharing the load, I’m running Invidious here:

      Once they limited user page customization it was never the same.

        Indeed! I left the Reddit comment and thought, “wait Lemmy is where it’s at, I need to comment there.” And so I did

    Has the youtube UI changed for that many people? Still the same for me as it was.

      Probably an A/B deployment or something similar. You’ll get it eventually.

              I watch in theatre mode but this is what I see by default when I scroll down a little further:

              It also breaks ReturnYouTubeDislike (:

                oh god that’s horrible, it’s like a very fucked up tablet ui

    i like the new layout, it feels more in line with what youtube is like on a phone. seems like it’ll be easier to scroll through comments while watching a video, as well as easier to ignore suggested videos until the content your watching is done. Then once the video is over, it’ll be easier to see a lot of videos at once, increasing the speed at which you’ll find something else you’re interested in. I’m not seeing any real downsides here, can someone help me understand ways this is worse? feels weird seeing all this hate and not getting it.

      I agree with you, it’s probably just most people are really used to the old layout and don’t want to change

      In theater mode the comments are so small it’s like YouTube wanted to kill the comments section without outright getting rid of them.

      Literally I will now open my phone if I want to leave a comment, because using a tiny strip on the side of my screen is absolutely stupid.
