Well as the title goes, this is about the recent changes to YouTube again. I'm not one for summaries, since the facts of what has changed on YT are evident, but non the less I'm sure most of you have seen the horrendous changes to YT. Such as the commenting section, which is most troublesome to actually respond to other comments under videos. The inbox option no longer actually sending messages to the inbox but rather the Google+ account.
Other examples are uploading of videos and etc. Though not much of a uploader myself, I hear from my friends they are having a hell of a time with theirs. I have signed the petition to get google to change this new update back to its former version. Though I do recommend to those who plan on sharing this on other videos to have a back up account. Some of done it before and got their accounts suspended. Fair warning.

So what are your thoughts on this new change to Youtube+? Please refrain from leaving rude/vulgar comments below.

I honestly don't mind what they have done to the comments section at all. I wasn't a big fan of the old version.

I liked that before you could see what comment people were replying to very easily, but now there is no indication other than username. I am not sure what functionality this adds or why it was a problem before.

>>2 I am curious, why didn't you like the old version?

>>3 You could only every see two top comments max. Often that ends up with the viewer possibly missing a great deal of information. It was also extremely cluttered, harder in my opinion to see who people were replying to, had an annoying character limit and made it hard to see comments you had previously made.

Oh wait, when I was last on there, you could still comment without a Google plus account.

Well, this is shit.

>>5 i thought it was just that you had to have a g+ account in order to reply to other g+ replys

>>4 How was it harder to see who was replying? You could just click to see what comment they were replying to. If that one feature was kept in this update, I would have no problems. Also, they are always pushing for people to join G+ in any way they can.

I don't use Youtube personally. I only use it to watch videos. I use a different site for uploads.

>>8 do you not know what personally means

10 Name: Inuhakka !.5xqXJfr96 : 2013-11-10 19:48 ID:R878jKUf [Del]

>>4 I know what you mean now. I figured out videos posted before the update are not converted to the new format. So, on older videos you can't really see anything, basically the worst of both systems. However, I just saw a new video with the new comments and I like it a lot better.
