Wow, I guess I am old, I remember when this is what YouTube used to look like.
Weird nostalgia trip; I definitely don't think it's better, but if I can scroll through comments and watch the video at the same time, I won't complain.
In the interest of de-centralization and sharing the load, I'm running Invidious here:
i like the new layout, it feels more in line with what youtube is like on a phone. seems like it'll be easier to scroll through comments while watching a video, as well as easier to ignore suggested videos until the content your watching is done. Then once the video is over, it'll be easier to see a lot of videos at once, increasing the speed at which you'll find something else you're interested in. I'm not seeing any real downsides here, can someone help me understand ways this is worse? feels weird seeing all this hate and not getting it.
