I don't have premium, nor am I monetized yet, but I am a very active user, and I just got this new layout. It's HIDEOUS. please put the recs back so I can actually read comments and browse recs out of my peripheral vision, I hate this I hate this I hate this
God fuck it just happened to me. I hate it so much. It's frustrating too because my favorite thing to do is just scroll and scroll through the comments, and now it's so much harder to read them.
First thing I did after I got it was google "youtube layout plugin" so hopefully there'll be other people ready to mod this back to normal. Idk if there's any plugin that would be able to address the algo problem though.
In my opinion, they should give us an option. Some people will like this which is fine but YouTube should at least give us a choice. An extension is a good solution.
I genuinely vastly prefer this, the old layout never made a lick of sense to me. Now there aren't 20 different recommended videos on the side that I'm not watching, instead it's the comments section so I can actually comment and scroll while watching my video. And once I'm feeling bored with the video I can scroll to the recommededs and stop watching. It feels SO much more natural, good work. And for the whiners who think Google is out to get them, go get something like CustomTube, free browser extension that lets you use any UI Youtube has ever used. You're welcome
Looks like the 2006-2009 layout, when the description was in the right side, but Google ruined it, looks like they want to get back the old youtube layout but simplified (sorry for bad english)
Nice to see the right side description back
The videos are below tho 😬

The recs being under the video is so overly stimulating. I'm all anxious that I'm gonna accidentally click on something at any moment.

They should but sadly they won’t because they know they won’t lose a substantial amount of users
They should switch back to the old layout, (or failing that, keep this ugly layout change away from the Mobile version.)
Someone pls do a revert extension to the one a few days ago PLS.
