I’ve been getting very close to ditching YouTube. This change showed up a few weeks ago for me and pushed me a bit further.

If they succeed in inserting ads into the video stream I’ll bail alltogether. I can fit a subscription to Brilliant, Dropout, and several creator Patreons into the cost of a YouTube Red subscription, and I won’t have to deal with these attention-optimizing UI changes.

They are always testing changes to different groups of people.

Not too sure how that works, but if you wnat the old layout you can add extensions.

That looks pretty awful IMO.

Extension suggestion: Enhancer for YouTube

addons.mozilla.org/en-US/…/enhancer-for-youtube/

To keep it self working it prevents “expiramental layouts” from youtube.

Great for setting YouTube player defaults the way you want.

Commenting here so I can come back to this when I get home, as Lemmy doesn’t have a save option.

You don’t see a star or bookmark symbol on comments?

Might be app you are using?

I see a star, but I was told that was a way to say you like the post. Like you’re giving it a gold star. I’ve been using them like a super upvote.

Long press the star, and it says Save. Not entirely sure where the saved posts go, though.

Edit: found it. Go to your profile, then the Saved tab.

To do a super upvote you can give Lemmy gold.

they've been beta testing this for weeks, had it come up out of nowhere and stay like this for all video's for an entire evening, then next morning the comments and related video sidebar were back where they've always been

I had it for a week…Which I call the week I stopped watching.
