Why did Google get rid of the centered design of YouTube?
Google just changed YouTube. Everything is now aligned left. That might be good for a smaller resolution, but on mine it looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/cB2ZB.png
So now I have to look at the upper-left corner to see the video. Which is bizarre at least (and I'm irritated by it, for now at least).
Aren't Google testing these on multiple resolutions, or am I the only one that feels the discomfort of this lack of symmetry?

- sazpaz 14y agoPerhaps they're making space for new ads aligned to the right. People naturally tend to look to the right, so right-aligned ads might get higher CTRs.
- csense 14y agoI always fullscreen videos, so it doesn't matter to me. I suspect you're just experiencing cognitive dissonance due to the fact it's a change from what you're used to. Within a month it'll feel natural and you'll have trouble remembering why the change upset you. Within a year you'll have half-forgotten it was ever any different. Within two years you'll have totally forgotten the old layout, and you'll make a near-identical complaint if Google ever changes it back.
