With all due respect I have a few issues with the new format
1. The main channel and the ability to customize.   That blob of grey is
   not attractive not does it serve any purpose.  The premise that it lets            people
   know they are on a channel is a odd statement.  I think customization
   should be given back as it is what showed our individuality and uniquess

2.  Comments.... Your icon to read comments you receive is way to small and
    almost invisible.  That should also be addresses

3.  I have noticed a marked decrease in my friends being active on YouTube
     They may still have a channel but are not using it.   I think the problem
    lies in 1.  

Thank you for considering or presenting my concerns.  I'm sorry to say I know nothing will change and that is disheartening.   I really don't think Google/YouTube will make any changes suggested.  This is now just a lip service
thread.
Thank you
