Remember the good ol’ days when Youtube had a functional layout that wasn’t all that fancy, but it was nice and customizable… and then they turned it into a layout that was far less customizable and was ugly… and nowhere near as functional, but it looked like Facebook because Google wanted their own Facebook-like social site that just ended up in the graveyard like all their other failed experiments?
Good times.
So about a month or so ago, Youtube updated their video player… which, to be fair, is still the same functional thing that it’s always been… but the layout is a little less mouse friendly. Back then, I can hover over the volume button and use the wheel to control the volume. Can’t really do that now with the embedded version of the player, which kinda sucks. Also, I’m not a fan of the button layouts. Before everything was on the bottom and it was nice and convenient; now everything is all over the place and it sucks.
Hey, Youtube. Not everything has to resemble your ultra-shitty mobile app that functions about as well as a Disney Plus streamer. You can keep the vintage stuff that works well and people will adapt… or maybe take the vintage stuff on the desktop that actually WORKS and stick it on your mobile app shit so that I can tolerate using that pile of shit.
Again, to be fair, Youtube’s app on devices like Apple or Switch is a fair bit better than Netflix, Disney Plus… the list goes on.
I may have gone a bit too far in places…
I’ll be going now…
Later.
