Apparently they began [testing this in New Zealand 4 days ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1axwrsf/youtubes_new_layout_is_awful/). Just hit me this midnight.
Bro said testing in nz, I've been using multiple devices with different accounts and not seen it so no shit they haven't given it to everyone at the same time
I was just pointing ojt that I haven't seen it
I love it when companies fix things that aren't broken or change things that don't need to be changed.
This was developed by someone who obviously only watches Youtube on their phone.
I wish they did something about the horrible ads that you get like scam ads or straight up porn ads...
But I guess UI is more important than regulating what ads they have on their platform
Are you a bot or something? In the last hour you replied to like 40 different people with exactly same comment...
Like you literally make only two types of comments. It's either this comment with links or a comment saying "Tell me what you think of the links" or something like that
I tried the improve yt expansion for firefox and played around with different settings but it still won't bring back the old UI back.
edit: But this did the trick - [https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1azlxut/new\_better\_script\_to\_revert\_to\_the\_old\_layout/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1azlxut/new_better_script_to_revert_to_the_old_layout/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
Sometimes you have to reload a page. If it still doesn't work, check out comments under the link I posted. It worked for me but first I had to add tampermonkey expansion for the script to work.

Pretty much any company that works heavily on content creation seems to be doing this more and more. Twitch is constantly changing stuff in their site for absolutely no reason, for the most part it's just small things. Not some drastic like with what YouTube just did, almost up there with removing dislikes.
Wait 'til you see the new Reddit UI that is currently being rolled out. It's practically the same crapfest.
These companies love working on things that are not broken and making them worse.
Right... I am using AdBlock to block that entire suggested videos pane occupying the huge space on the left. With changes like this, YouTube is only forcing people to create and use more add-ons and extensions.
I literally just refreshed and its now this. And the sad part is, I watch waaay too (edit: much) horror content, despite it absolutely terrifying me. So every time I watch a video, either I go in fullscreen (which I hate), resize the window (which is irritating), or deal with seeing a disturbing thumbnail while I watch something.
I'll say something controversial but sometimes I like to read comments while the video is playing. Aaand this design will actually let me, so good for me I guess.
Got that BS now, too! Already gave Feedback about it and if it does NOT change, I cancel my sub... Not gonna deal with this shit and the only thing of interest for them is Money!
I thought this was just something they'd be trying out on mobile until I saw the "activate windows" text and realized it's for PC
What the fuck is that
I don't understand what compels youtube to forcing people to use this awful UI without asking people first. Instead of fixing actual problems, they create new ones by changing the UI. I normally read comments while the videos are playing and this makes it really really annoying.
It hasn't rolled out for me yet, but sometimes I get an UI bug which crunches the screen. Can't wait to get the new UI, hating it, and get over with it lol
I get this UI on my alt account now. My main premium account is still the previous UI layout.
It's gross and unintuitive. It's also pointless. They're so addicted to pretending they need to update the UI so pointless morons can keep their jobs.
Glad to this I'm not the only one to notice this godawful mess of a UI. Noticed it yesterday while I was listening to music.
I think we can definitely agree that, out of all the redesigns that YouTube has gone through in its nearly 20 year lifespan, this is definitely the worst UI that they have made. I'm absolutely gonna have a hard time getting used to this new UI.
I wonder if this update has anything to do with feeds no longer being able to play while browsing videos, just started happening 3 days ago on YouTube iPhone app and can’t find any options in settings related to it 😑.

I'm in New zealand and haven't seen it like this ever
youtube doesn’t just give their garbage ass layout to everyone all at once you know
Bro said testing in nz, I've been using multiple devices with different accounts and not seen it so no shit they haven't given it to everyone at the same time I was just pointing ojt that I haven't seen it
yes they dont give their garbage ass layout to everyone in nz all at once too
They changed it back for me, i was using incognito, couldnt stand it
Ah … I only wish. Hasn't gone away yet for me.

Man he's been doing this for over 21 days :/ that's willpower.
I’m not a bot, I just want them to see this link so they can be happy, I’m in my early 20s and you have no right to stop me….heeheeheeheeeeee……. >:)
Do you think being in your early 20s grants you some special status or are you trying to tell us you are a big grown up?
Bros probably just 13 lol
fun fact: any fully functional adult, hell, even people who AREN'T 18 yet, would know that this is cap.

Who'd even wanna watch YouTube on his phone like this? 😔
Nah, the comments are too big for a phone. This is the work of an iPad kid.
Pretty much any company that works heavily on content creation seems to be doing this more and more. Twitch is constantly changing stuff in their site for absolutely no reason, for the most part it's just small things. Not some drastic like with what YouTube just did, almost up there with removing dislikes.
Discord did this with their mobile app recently...
probably some manager proposed and pitched the idea to add that to his cv
And not to mention they still aren't fixing the things that need to be fixed.
there's an army of product managers at youtube HQ who do nothing but find ways to enshittify it to justify their paychecks
UI designers somehow have to keep their jobs.
A new UI doesn't mean it's fixing something?
The point is that there were no major issues with the UI in the state that it's in currently, so there's no need to change it.
Changed for me at midnight upon refresh. I don't like it.
what did you expect? google has to make everything """""""modern""""""""
Ironic because this shit looks like it's from a 2000s pirating website
Use revanced if you like the less shit design from 2018
Happy Cake Day!
Just wait til "new new reddit" (aka twitter reddit) redesign rolls out to you, it's ass.
The new reddit design makes it basically unusable
Yeah.
Wait 'til you see the new Reddit UI that is currently being rolled out. It's practically the same crapfest. These companies love working on things that are not broken and making them worse.
I am already using a [new.reddit.com](https://new.reddit.com) script. My eyes were crying when I saw that first time.
God bless u lol
If they ever remove old.reddit.com , I'll legit quit the site. They better not touch that.
What does this look like? I've heard people talking about this but I haven't seen any screenshots or anything
The "new new" reddit ui is still better than this crapfest YT layout.
The creeper is right.
i dont want
[удалено]
IM SORRY WHAT?
Ahahah
The comments don't even automatically independently scroll if you mouse over it, god awful.
Right... I am using AdBlock to block that entire suggested videos pane occupying the huge space on the left. With changes like this, YouTube is only forcing people to create and use more add-ons and extensions.
holy fuck it looks like the mobile ui
NO fucking way they added the iPad UI to every other
iPad UI is way better than this
[ Removed by Reddit ]
I had this all week but it just switched back for me thank god..
I was so confused ...I thought I changed some settings or some shit
I thought that maybe it was a bug, but I eventually caught on that this was intentional.
Just a change for the sake of change
A fix: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/s/kohIvO2hXe
I literally just refreshed and its now this. And the sad part is, I watch waaay too (edit: much) horror content, despite it absolutely terrifying me. So every time I watch a video, either I go in fullscreen (which I hate), resize the window (which is irritating), or deal with seeing a disturbing thumbnail while I watch something.
I swear that at this point companies just make these changes just so their web designers can say they did something
I don't want
Looks horrible tbh
Idk. but please activate your Windows
Never
You know you can activate it without buying a license? I did. You can do an activation through command prompt, google how.
I like the activate windows words
op, look up what masgravel is
Press esc to come off that UI and fix the issue
it didnt worked lol
Looks like the Android Youtube App from Android Kitkat days
Buy YouTube premium and revert the change!
really ??
For a price of 18.99$, get your hands on old and new UI!
Bro I got the old ui back after lots of complaints
This would be fine if it would work the same as on mobile/tablet where only the comments scroll.
Nice timing with that caption
I'll say something controversial but sometimes I like to read comments while the video is playing. Aaand this design will actually let me, so good for me I guess.
Can we change that to old ui?
Get used to it. They won't listen.
I’ve been seeing this all over Reddit but I haven’t gotten the change through opera gx so if you don’t want it get opera gx
I'm so glad I don't have this UI
Wtf
It attacks me
The new UI is horrible and unusable on a 21:9 monitor when you have the Youtube window on the right side.
how do I go back to the regular UI
Just get freetube
If u want older ui back, use customtube google extension
What on earth happened to YouTube lmao, it feels like they're making everything horrible on purpose
Do you guys not watch videos in full screen? That ui is horrible tho
It currently change back to normal UI
actual dogshit UI. i hope someone makes an extension or something that can revert it or that you can choose with one you want to use
The future of YouTube
Just YouTube really doubling down on how awful it can get visually, on top of as a business.
Got that BS now, too! Already gave Feedback about it and if it does NOT change, I cancel my sub... Not gonna deal with this shit and the only thing of interest for them is Money!
I thought this was just something they'd be trying out on mobile until I saw the "activate windows" text and realized it's for PC What the fuck is that
YouTube is the king of fixing things that ain’t broken.
The UI update also killed the dislikes plugin for me..
I'm scared for the future.
I don't understand what compels youtube to forcing people to use this awful UI without asking people first. Instead of fixing actual problems, they create new ones by changing the UI. I normally read comments while the videos are playing and this makes it really really annoying.
I know this isn't relevant, but ACTIVATE YO WINDOWS!
I don’t understand the question
It hasn't rolled out for me yet, but sometimes I get an UI bug which crunches the screen. Can't wait to get the new UI, hating it, and get over with it lol
If YouTube put as much work into their copyright system as they do to their useless UI changes, the whole website would be in a much better place.
Ew wtf, is this desktop?
When will it get to the US?
It went back to normal yesterday night for me, before that I had it for about 5 days
I get this UI on my alt account now. My main premium account is still the previous UI layout. It's gross and unintuitive. It's also pointless. They're so addicted to pretending they need to update the UI so pointless morons can keep their jobs.
