The only legitimate complaint I have is I use a 4k monitor at 150% scaling. YouTube, in its design genius, decided that it should show me three videos per row, at like half the screen.
Thankfully with Google I was able to find something that helps
Comment on YouTube says goodbye to decade-old video player UI, but users hate the new design

I’m not defending google here, but I’m sure a decent chunk of the complaints are just bitching because “change bad!”
I haven’t seen the change yet and I’m sure there are legitimate complaints as well, but us online folk tend to detest even the smallest changes and go a bit overboard in our complaining sometimes.

Honestly thank you for posting that link. I thought i had gone crazy thinking that i had only now just noticed the shit UX of 3 videos per row

As long as I can still use the J/K/L keys to play/pause and scrub, I see no issues here. People bitching just to bitch.
That said, I do not enjoy the “everything is bigger” view on YouTube’s home page. But that can be fixed easily, so it’s a non-issue.

“you can no longer hover on the volume slider and scroll or even use the up/down keys to adjust the audio”

That, for sure, is one of the most garbage changes imaginable.
Someone conciously had to go out of their way to remove functionality there.
Maybe there’s a reason for it, but I still think it’s a shit change.

Speaking as a software dev, that’s probably not the case. They probably started completely from scratch and so the inclusion of features depends on reimplementing them on the new platform. It could be as simple as not being ready yet or maybe stats show them that so few people use the feature that they don’t find it worth reimplementing it.

I’m not a software dev, but that’s what I was thinking when I said maybe there’s a reason for it. I still feel like it’s a shit change, but that’s because I use the function.
