Disgusted about the new YouTube Layout.

New Layout = Death of personality and creativity.

Goodluck YouTube on failing for smaller channels like mine

YouTube is making changes to benefit the VIEWING experience. The more that viewers enjoy watching videos and hanging around on YouTube, the more that creators will benefit.

Upon looking at ijustine and epicmealtime, I see that YouTube basically makes MY information (as a User/Viewer) available in the left-hand column. My Watch Later, Watch History, Playlists, Messages, and Subscriptions. My interpretation is that it makes the USERS

Sure, the background image is gone but the Channels still get the whole center of the screen plus apparently, the channels also get to put information in the right-hand column.

I do understand how creators are disappointed that they apparently lose the ability to have a large background image to give their channel some individual personality. Well, as far as the internet goes, screen space is vital real estate and it should be utilized as best as possible to create a good user experience.

There needs to be a balance between the creator's needs and the user's needs. I have no problem with the changes.

One thing I just noticed on iJustine's channel is that you have to turn adBlock off to see the banner image. Well played, YouTube, well played.

Protip : Whitelist the banner server path

I don't get the usual whining. I for once, like the update.

HOW is this affecting smaller channel? This is retarded , it doesn't, at all.

Don't project your own failure on YouTube's fault. Come on people.

We will see how it will work. Maybe they will improve on this new layout later.
I liked the very old layout with the awards etc.

I mentioned this on another post but if anything it's more damaging to the larger channels and network partners because it makes them look the same as a person with 1 video and no subscribers.

However, I am of the firm belief that it won't make people sub or unsub you. YouTube will change just like it always has and people will continue to complain about it. But video content and quality will always be there. You avoid the rubbish channels and sub the good ones. A banner won't decide that for me

I am pretty neutral towards this new change, it doesn't really affect me whether I have a background or not tbh... but I realised that the way I distinguished partnered channels from non-partnered channels was through their banner... now how will I know who is partnered and who is not? :L
