A selection of YouTube viewers have recently noticed there's a little something different with the look of the website.
What a strange title. Immediately biases the reader before any actual information is given about the change
As someone who has the "pleasure" to be selected as beta tester for YouTube changes all the time, I fully agree with the headline because I also have immediate bias when they change something. Every single time it has been awful and more often than not I get outright broken changes which is why I have a user agent changer installed to switch to an ancient Edge user agent when affected because YT's legacy UI often doesn't get the same changes.
Also, I'm a YT Premium subscriber. I'm not paying to be a beta tester.
Maybe by setting the expectation that the user will hate the update, when it becomes available to everyone it won’t be as bad as expected and thus more easily accepted.
I thought it was making fun of people for always initially hating on UI redesigns.
Same thing with logo changes
No trust me, it is an accurate title. I thought I was using some shit site hosting YouTube videos at first. It's atrocious.
Just give me a grid of videos. No shorts, no games, no BS. Just videos.
Yeah well. So far enshittification hasn't stopped yet. It's perfectly reasonable to assume a change is for the worse.
