I still think you guys are over-reacting, though I rarely comment on videos. but still you are over-reacting

Edit: how I see most people react

I think it's just because YouTube was fine before.

Adding and changing things that are unnecessary will ALWAYS irritate people.

The silliest part is that they allowed clickable links without any prompts or notifications when they direct you off Youtube (and even then, links inside of youtube are pretty sketchy too). Literally the only time it was ever worse was when comments allowed autorunnable code.

Oh man, when was this? Sounds like something I would've been interested in.

It was something around a year and a half ago or something. Before Youtube disabled comments sitewide, any video could automatically redirect you to another site, make up a popup message, and generally cause a good deal of havoc. Plus, 4chan was well aware of it when it was discovered.

I think I'll sign since they removed the ability to search videos only in a certain channel.

They removed that thing that put some space between the video and the left side of the screen. Now I have to watch videos shoved against the corner of the screen that bother obsessive compulsive feelings.

Words cannot describe how infuriated I am.

Yes, that bar.. Something seems fishy whenever that bar goes fuzzy-looking.

Typically shit decision from the incompetent bastards at Google, trying to force this 'social network' bullshit on a site that's not actually geared toward such things. I (like most others I'm guessing) go there to watch videos, not exchange meaningless small-talk with illiterate dickheads and grow some circle of not-friends -- that would be the last thing I use a video sharing site for.

This comment system is godawful; no more easy to read 'comment chains', spam (ASCII/links/film scripts) everywhere, timecodes don't work (but links to stupid scams  and irrelevant bullshit sites do!)... I can't even fucking comment on most videos unless it's by way of replying to an existing comment. And then there's the notification system, telling me about the most insignificant things. Someone +1'd one of my comments that I left days ago? Oh whoopee-shit, because I was watching my screen like a hawk waiting for that to happen and I will certainly sleep well tonight; some complete fucking stranger on the internet approves of my opinion.

tl;dr
GG you spastic tossers, what are you going to fuck up next?


...and breathe.

In brutal honestly: I don't give a Rat's ass about it. Personally if it doesn't affect videos or the search engine on youtube, then I'm fine. Personally I think everyone is over-reacting about the whole update thing. Especially with some of the things I've seen.
You've posted about it a lot so it looks more like you are overreacting, instead.
