YouTube Interface

All right, even though it's been quite some time since YouTube decided to put up a new interface  I think people (such myself) still might not satisfied with how it functions and how it looks. You know how I initially felt? Watch first 10 second of  video below, that pretty much summes it up (I strongly encourage you to quickly view this video).


To this day, this is my reaction. What was wrong with the old layout? I mean it might have been clogged up a little bit, but it was manageable and easy. This is confusing. The first time I tried looking for my playlist it took me literally 5 minutes of clicking to figure it out. Sadly, to this day I often find myself making a mistake, and clicking something I was not supposed to to find the thing I was looking for.

I understand that YouTube, being one of the most influential social media platform, decided to fresh things up, but I believe that it only made navigation more difficult. Acquiring a "blog" like look is perhaps a modern move, seeing how all other platforms have done this already, it is understandable that YouTube did not want to fall behind.
