Honestly has me upset enough that im starting to set up a super old youtube setup i once had years ago in the before times
i just might rawdog youtube directly again old player also had the progress bar visible even when not focused, not anymore
over a years worth of work and we ended up with what looks like a mobile ui

It might not actually be that bad, but I rarely like change. In my opinion, all software should have a sort of legacy UI mode.
EDIT: You don’t have to listen to my opinion.
This sounds like “I want developers’ lives to be a living hell if they ever decide to overhaul their UI.”
Fair point. Just because I have an opinion doesn’t mean people should listen to me. /srs
i asked them about a legacy option and their answer boiled down to a somewhat condescending “tough shit, get used to it”
What’s wrong with it?
Gigantic mobile like play icon
Ui not aligned with the video borders anymore
Progress bar not visible anymore unless you hover over the video
I don’t like it either. Don’t need an 18cm big button.
What version is this? I’m not seeing that huge ass play button, and I’m on the latest beta build.
im using the prerelease builds, just gotta go to the github, than to actions and than to builds
Crap, so that’s what I should expect to come down the line? Not a deal-breaker for me, but it is going backwards.
gotta go back up the pipeline if the trend continued downwards, which means invidious for me
I’m sure someone will fork a build to keep the legacy UI. Seems like it would be easy to NOT include the code that uglifies the UI like that. LOL
i asked them if they could keep a legacy option or let us change the ui only, the reply was that they worked on it for over a year and wont be changing it back cause i cant get used to it
bro,k your team took over a year to not align the ui with the video
A year of work… for something that NOBODY asked for or even wants? That’s a shame. I’d expect that from Google, but not a team working on an open-source project.
