Yes, feel free to leave us low class internet engineers to our misery. Everyone knows it's easier to pretend you're having fun when you pay for something.

Youtube misses the memo, releases their "April Fools" joke 8 hours early

What's this one about?

Next is this text: You know, this is unfunny enough that it's actually possible this isn't an April Fools joke. Anyway, users are already freaking out in the comments on the official blog post: http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2010/03/new-video-page-launches-for-all-users.html#comments

And some of the first page:

it's a great day for america everybody yes it is

 Let's just turn everything into Facebook (which has been previously turned into Twitter) and get it the hell over with already.

But in the grand scheme of things I guess I don't really care that much because this will just be changed again in a few weeks.

e: But yeah, if this is an April Fools joke it's really strange and unfunny for an April Fools joke.

 Actually, this layout has been appearing and going away for about a month or two for me. I hate it every time I see it, but it goes away a day or two (or even hours) later.

I hope it's not permanent this time. I guess it isn't terrible, but the only thing broken on Youtube is the comments, and instead of fixing their organization, they made them worse.

Oh, and ratings have gone from 1-5 to good or bad. I don't see how that's better either.

You're right, the comments are really stupid looking now. Good! Less reason to read them!

Otherwise I don't care.

Enter the Internet

 They removed the ability to hide the comments section, that was the best feature they will ever come up with.

 It changed for me sometime between this morning and a few minutes ago... I already hate it. They somehow made it less accessible than it used to be.

Keep in mind that this is coming from someone who doesn't mind when Facebook changes their layout every three months.

edit:

Some dude on the official blog comments posted:
WE SHALL ALL REMOVE OUR VIDEOS & LEAVE YOUTUBE, UNTIL THE SETTINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL!

COPY & PASTE THIS IF YOU AGREE!!! NOW!!!

I have to agree though, YouTube's new video page is terrible. But that could also be due to the fact that I'm a bit adamant to change.

>>10
Likewise

I am glad that the stupid scroll bar embedded in the page is removed.

I just wish I could remove that stupid column of videos from the side

>

What is up with goons and hating YouTube comments, I mean if you see a bunch of fucktards making comments on a video you enjoy, maybe you ought to take a look in the mirror.


Also, new YouTube video page design is even worse than the newest channel page design.

They just want to make this as passive as possible, don't they?

What is up with goons and hating YouTube comments

Remember when Uwe Bol destroyed blowtax in the ring and the video was posted on youtube all the blowtax cock sucking "goons" got trolled to hell by us and they got so mad but couldn't do anything like ban us????? Yeah that's probably why. Those neckbeards hate anything they can't control.

>>15
No, I don't remember that.  What I do recall is M.O.O.T. advertising his love of giving a BLOWS JOB to a strange man in some con bathroom.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3M_wGfYewo

Boll has earned a fraction of respect from me.

dude wtf happened to YuTube? it looks all weird and shit!

>>15
I remember thinking something like that when I saw what they did to even minor criticism on Let's Plays, which I actually stopped watching just because Something Awful, and slowbeef specifically, is so unbearably arrogant.

>>16
Wow, I see why everyone hates you now, that was just stupid.

>>19
You don't "see", you "pee" instead.

M.O.O.T. still professed his love of giving the BLOWS JOB.

>>20
It was BLOWJAYS.

>>19
Nobody hates RedCream.  He's like that crazy homeless guy that stands by the corner all day telling completely nonsensical stories.  Some people just find it annoying to step around him

He is sophisticated, owns a walking stick topped with a brass fixture, and a fine brown bowler.

>>23
Yes, and if you're kind-hearted enough to buy him a sandwich, he'll tell you where his hoard of gold is hidden

>>22
I really enjoy this metaphor.

>>21
Well, old chap, I do recall that particular event, about the Toronto Blowjays.  But mootle did wish to be the little girl, and he did offer a BLOWS JOB to some strange man.  This is purely factual.

>>25
Me too, it's absolutely spot on.
