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. |

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

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

Posted by tomman 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. |

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the problem. Seriously, who pays for YouTube? |

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. |

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? |

Posted by tommanIt 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? |
tomman |
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) |

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 |
