Youtube: LETS FUCK SHIT UP!!!
Looks like they just adopted material you design. It's a 'whatever' change for me.
the new design looks like it came from ten years ago
The old and the new UI still auto hides controls and the seekbar and timestamp. I hate that it hides those! Besides remember when the seekbar showed where the Ads were in marking those sections in yellow? Good times.
Revanced or Firefox with ublock, no more ads
Add Sponsorblock (included in Revanced) to skip in-video sponsor segments as well as self-marketing, recaps, etc if you want.
It looks like the status bars window manager users tend to customize
The heck is this title?
YouTube says goodbye to decade-old video player UI, but users hate the new design
Meanwhile, the article itself just cites a few tiny aesthetic changes and like four random Reddit comments. Doesn't seem like they even tried it themself... That's justifications for 460 upvotes?
This ain't a problem with PipePipe
Judging from screenshots in this article, it doesn't seem to loose or gain any functionality: all of the same controls are present.
With this in mind.
Who cares!? It's neither good nor bad. It's like the thing with playback line color. Yes, it's different, no, I didn't notice until some pointed it out, no, I couldn't care less.
I don't use the youtube app but I've hated every new redesign. Bring back the old ui
It's like the same but with a background color that has rounded corners.
I don't think it's too bad. I can imagine those with some slight visual impairments it might've been awkward to see the buttons some times without a background for them
