Seriously Youtube?!(sort of a rant)

STOP CHANGING STUFF! YOU MAKE IT WORSE!!!

So, now they changed the settings that USED to be easily accessable in the player.
Such as annonations on/off, video quality etc.

Now, it's under a menu, one extra click away! (You have to click the gear icon first)

Seriously, can someone explain this crap to me? Or the other crap they've done
in the past years to make Youtube less user friendly?

Also, once I switched to Chrome, I have not had a single ad on youtube.
What's up with that? There are a ton of people who are living off of youtube ads,
why Chrome doesn't show them?

IDIOTS!

PS. Oh and the pre-buffer crap they added a year ago or so?
How about letting me to choose whether I want to use it, ok?
I got unlimited bandwidth, I don't care how much it pre-buffers!
I wouldn't mind, but 90% of the time the pre-buffer just can't
keep up! LET ME BUFFER THE WHOLE VIDEO IF I WANT TO!

Wait a minute. You are complaining that you don't see ads?

Yes. I know of a lot of people who have quit their "real life" jobs to be fulltime youtubers.

Like TotalBiscuit, much of his income comes from YouTube. Chrome just not showing
the ads and thus preventing me from supporting those I want is just silly.

And google = youtube, just kinda dishonest/unethical.

Maybe the government is behind it all.

Which one? (cue dramatic music)

I hate this newer youtube layout, and i hated the redesign from earlier. They keep making things more... layered, where as before it was right where you needed it. Probably some clowns trying to justify their paycheck be fixing things that aren't broke.

Thanks for the tip. I might just consider Chrome. Although I use IXQuick and I don't get ads either.

I think it is great that technology allows people to choose to place ads on the Internets Tubes, and I think it is great that technology allows people to have them not displayed.

A technological win-win.

There is an old saying "if it aint broke, dont fix it"

My theory is that they get some trainees to do something and they just apply their
changes to the site. I really can't think of another reason for it.

Its not the government. Youtube's new update is a pile of hot steaming poop. Up until the update I never had a problem. Now it buffers for 20 seconds then plays for 20 seconds and so on and so on.

Tchocky · 09-13-13, 02:09 PM

No, YouTube, I don't want to use my full name.

Hey guys! Check out my YouTube history! .....no thanks

Hah, there's another one! It asks me EVERY TIME I want to write a comment
if I'd like to change my account name.

NO, DO NOT WANT!!!

"Ok, we ask later"

The new design sucks. Why making things less comfortable for the user? It doesn't make bloody sense.
