Why in the name of all that is good and decent could the old page not be kept as an option??  Username: Quiltfish

1) I turned off the "Popular Videos" section on the old page for a reason:They are generally the shittier videos on Youtube. And now I can't, is it the new price of admission or something, that I have to see the shitty vids to get to the ones I care about?

2) The old page gave me a nice overview of what new videos were available, even when I hadn't logged on in a while and there were many of them. THe new one is so bloody fragmented,showing just one at a time, with the need to show the description. If a video catches my eye I'll read the description when I get to it. SHOW ME AS MANY SUBSCRIPTION VIDS AS POSSIBLE INSTEAD. THE TITLE OR PREVIEW WILL SERVE TO CATCH MY EYE.

3)A fucking Read in more clips button?? The old page worked PERFECTLY FINE without it. I swear to god, are you TRYING to annoy your users? Well you know what? You've inspired me. You've inspired me to go look for or even learn to write a bloody greasemonkey script to fix shit that is YOUR BLOODY JOB to fix, not break like you have been doing consistently throughout the recent months.

Greatest thing about this,though? Got a laptop a while back, when I could still enjoy the old front page on my desktop. Guess what? FORCED THE NEW FRONT PAGE ON ME. That doesn't even... This is stupidity that blows minds, youtube.Why are you working to make your site worse? Is it an elaborate ploy by the user interface designers to get fired because they secretly hate their jobs and really only want to design playgrounds?
