google had to move the nav buttons up top and the volume control will disappear if you hover away for just microsecond

who is being paid to redesign with badder UI?

I noticed it too and the interface is far worse in every way. Obtrusive to the ability to watch a video.

I am pretty sure they're doing this on purpose to make people actually visit youtube. No sane person would remove volume up/down from pressing arrow keys and instead force people to open a shitty slider.

Who is being paid to make a post like this without an embedded video to prove the point.

This is unacceptable! Dock the wages!

Everything is being enshittified at an alarming rate. It's what Halle s when you hire nothing but incompetent people to work under the shittiest, greediest leaders you've ever seen.

Is there anyone as bad as Meta though, especially with their stupid "one stop" meta suite thing.

MS is a close second.

I've noticed a worse Youtube player on Noegaf for a while now. That one has the controls on top and useless items like "more videos" on the bottom. I've had that "new improved" version for at least a month.

The interesting thing is that I've seen that worse embedded YT video player only on Neogaf. Tweakers.net, a Dutch site I visit shows all YT videos using the old player. So that could mean this could be fixed or reverted back somehow.

bad player

good player

EviLore , is there any way to make the embedded Youtube player revert to the "good" design?

It's all so tiresome.

How the fuck dumb shit like this gets approved???

 

[uncreativename]

Yeah the point is definitely to get you to accidentally click the wrong thing. Idunno, youtube has been full of this kind of antagonistic design for years. Same reason why it now takes more steps to get a video to loop and why the youtube app doesn't let you search for videos on a channel. Got to get you using that algorithm which is how they get their money.

It's already bad when they push the next video right in front of the one who you even finished to watch.
Everything on Youtube is evolving backwards. Don't try to watch a match of a game or something on youtube apps because they highlight the first commentary and it's usually gives spoilers of the match.

YouTube's bot detection is a joke. I can't even view an embed anymore without getting hit with a 'Sign In' prompt even though I'm already logged in

Clicking the video just redirects me to the homepage instead of the actual link. It's happening on my PC and my phone, so it's clearly a platform wide failure

Now I have to manually hunt down every video I want to see. What is the point of an embed if it doesn't fucking work?

There is always someone willing to jump head first in the cesspool, out of laziness, ignorance or sheer perversity.
