Its freaking horrible. Why would they change it so drastically. It almost feels like youtube went similar that bnet went from wc3 -> sc2. They hired some shit ass UI designer who doesnt even know the basics of UI designing....
Why change something that aint broken? Im a bit anoyed by this, but I suppose its still usable....
To be honest though, i find google's shiny movement the least distracting of all (facebook to name a few) They are still mainly black on white, with colors only where it's need focus.
It's true that you dont need to redesign the UI every month. Things need to be consistent, and google didn't change much of their stuff.
Hell, just compared number of visual changes being made between chrome and firefox for the last year
I was listening to random music, and then suddenly one tab is old youtube, while other is new. This new thing felt.. heavier. Click "about this new look" -> "page doesn't exist" :D
I know I'll get used to it, but..
I wonder was there anything wrong with old 5star rating metric. Meh, I guess It's time to add some sort of profile picture since I'll be seeing it more often now.
They update it regularly with new features, only it seems that everyone is so oblivious about it (hence I don't buy the whining from so many people, and that they whine without giving constructive criticism like the major part of youtube, it's not going to yield any effect either). I've been running Cosmic Panda (the youtube beta) for about a half a year. It wasn't that hard to find it either, as all you had to do was to scroll down the youtube page where you see the nationality and language setting and press "Try something new!".
I can agree that some things are slightly annoying (like not being able to remove subscriptions you've watched), but eventually, it's mostly about learning a new interface. And even probably, they will continue to improve it.
@DuckyTheDuck I imagine why they removed the 5star rating, after all, that scoring level isn't all very constructive. Either you like something, or you don't, or you simply don't rate at all. The 5 star rating also needs to take into consideration of other factors, which could make the searching algorithm and similar to become too inaccurate. It all depends on the algoritm though, I guess.

Shiny is the new revolutionary it seems.

It was a very bad move from them to add the new design together. If they would have updated it slowly, than no one would really whine.
I kind of like it, however I hate I cant remove videos subscriptions updates.
