YouTube launches redesigned desktop website

YouTube has launched a desktop site redesign, aimed at simplicity and consistency.

Why must desktop sites look like phone apps?

So rare for me to go on the desktop site these days. Usually go in through my smart tv, phone or tablet.
If it wasn't mentioned here, I probably wouldn't have known about the change for a couple of months.

A universal look & feel regardless of interface - helps to seamlessly move between them?

The thing that bugs me is when they put too much padding between content - I prefer it tightly packed. Luckily gmail offers an option to reduce spacing.

The company has applied Material Design to its website, adding more white space and a pinned search bar at the top of the screen.

Eaww!!

This design fad needs to stop, I paid for every inch of my screen and I want to see it used well...
So much wasted space , especially if your using a big 26-32" screen you get text as thick as your arm.

Atleast they finally have a dark theme, if only more websites can catch on, I am looking at you Facebook and mybroadband >.> , IT Professionals want dark sites, because staring at bright white sites all day strains your eyes.

Still works just the same, only reason I can think of for not being able to post comments is if the uploader decided to disable comments.

Just switch back to the 'classic' view.

Now it looks like a typical pr0n website.
