So many sites try to copy Facebook. I remember Myspace doing the same.

I'm not liking the changes on YouTube.

For the past few weeks or so, I was noticing that it would switch randomly betw. the old and new versions. Perhaps they didn't get all of their system on track.

I've been getting only the new version as of late.

I cannot stand the way it looks now. It's terrible.

New look is okay, but they need to correct all that dead space. I'm using a bigger monitor so it looks weird. Anyone notice how it resembles their app from the apple store?

Also, I'm not a fan of losing my anonymity. They shouldn't force me to use my real name for the video comments. I understand that youtube has a problem with trolls and mean-spirited people and that this is their way to combat this. However, those type of people are just going to find ways around that.

I do like the changes to the favorites.

When you are looking at one video all your other saved videos are on the side of the screen for you to click on

I don't like the fact that now when I click on my favorite or history list, the first video on the list automatically starts to play! I liked it better when the list just came up and I could scroll through it to see which video I wanted to view.

I thought it was away you could stop that? Like after one video stops playing you can change the settings so the next video won't play right away

Why no more popular videos? I liked that feature. Sometimes I need go out of my comfort zone to find a good video.

Two hours ago, I signed in and tried to upload a video I made a year ago this month. It wanted me to enter my real name, so I quit and signed out.

Can't you use a fake name? How would they know?

Your youtube account links to your gmail account. I use my real name on my primary email account. You could unlink your current gmail and create a fake gmail account. However, when I tried to do that all my favorite videos were erased. They were restored once I linked it back to my primary account. :(

Youtube is going down, they'll remove the good and copyright videos now they revamp their entire site.

For the copyright uploads...have commercials on them, even though we hate that to....

That stinks that you have to use your real first name/the name you used on your gmail account. That's why I never log in on You Tube, I just view as a guest. That does take away the ability to like, comment, add to favorites, etc., though.

And I HATE IT!!!! I can not longer log in with my YT user name. It told me I had to use my google address, I TRIED to, it didn't recognize it, so i had to make a new account, my account I've had so long and worked so hard on is LOST now.

And I can't use my old handle I've used so long I have to use my REAL NAME, and I LOVED my handle.

I wish they would STOP changing things.

Why don't they just change the name to "GoogleTube"? :mad:
