    Thread review
    desudesu That might just be one of the dumbest decisions they've ever made.

    Reminds me of those "you must sign up to view anything relevant" forums kind of.

    YT now prevents people from watching popular streams unless they subscribe?

    Please tell me you people why do you insist in watching videos ON A WEB BROWSER, instead of a media player, as $DEITY intended...

    So, in a scale of "0 to Javascript", how terrible is it? (can't review it myself for rather obvious reasons)

    Everyone uploads their videos to youtube and downloading each video I want to watch to my computer sounds like a waste of time.

    A media player isn't a website that you can navigate. So you have to switch between browser and file manager, especially if you want to rename and move the file. It's not worth it if I know that I won't watch them again. The only exception for me are reactions where I watch the video in the media player and the reaction in the browser on another monitor.
    CaptainJistuce Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the problem.

    Seriously, who pays for YouTube?
    kode54 I'm just using whatever they have always slogged off to me, with no attempt to revert to some old design. Oh, and I also use the official app on mobile devices.

    Oh, and I'm also paying them $11.99 per month for the Premium status.
    Screwtape I was using the "use redesign N-1" addon because (at the time) the latest redesign depended on a non-standard Chrome feature, so on Firefox the site was implemented using a JS fallback.

    I don't know whether Firefox implemented the old feature, or if YouTube updated their site to use the standards-compliant version that Firefox *does* implement, but it doesn't seem to be as slow as I remembered, so yay?

    It is total Javascript.
    Kawaoneechan It's a bit hard for me to properly gauge how it is because I'm rendering a bunch of things and that slows down the rest, but the most obvious thing is that everything's so much bigger all of a sudden. Very... intended to be touch-friendly, perhaps?

    Kawaoneechan Snap. I forgot about those. Let me check again.

    Edit: yup, I did have one of those.
    Nicholas Steel I got the same, but I'm using a browser add-on that forces the old style Youtube to load so it was expected.
    Kawaoneechan Like I reported on Discord: I got the warning banner, I clicked it, I clicked the big button, and I got the old YT still, with the same damn banner. Top job, folks.
    Nicholas Steel Looks like Youtube is killing their classic/old website design: https://imgur.com/a/5X51ux9
