Yes, that is very annoying. In general YouTubes UX is getting worse constantly. They moved the read more button for video descriptions up and to the right directly behind the end of the description text, which makes it almost completely invisible. Even now that i know where to look, it is still very hard to find.
The like button is now only an outline, which is filled when active. I find this confusing, which lead to me unliking and reliking a video because i could not determine the state of the button visually. Was never a problem, back when the thimb turned blue.
The site is quite sluggish in general, at least for me.
Overall YouTube makes for a nice example of how modern design often makes the experience worse
- phs2501 4y agoI've seen the new "read more" button sometimes actually completely be invisible... it'll come back if I force a re-layout (i.e. resizing the browser). But yeah the new design is pretty awful. No idea what they were thinking.
- ricardobayes 4y agoWe need 'hug a web dev day' a thing. People are so harsh over a button or a color these days.
- phs2501 4y agoTo be fair everything being complained about in this thread is pretty clearly broken stuff. And for design, I'm actually harsh over stuff like the new "top comment" box that, when clicked on, /completely removes the normal comment interface/, shrinks the video, and moves the comments to a new and otherwise-completely-unseen comment interface to the right side of the video. Which is bizarre, inexplicable user experience and a fair amount worse than simply being a weird color.
