Highlights YouTube reintroduces controversial redesign, shifting video details to the side Initial user feedback on the redesign remains largely negative YouTube states the changes are part of an "experiment" with no clear end date The redesign may indicate YouTube is gathering more data and user feedback YouTube seems to be reverting to a controversial redesign of its site, despite rampant negativity when the platform originally tested the new look earlier this year. In mid-April, Google started testing a redesign that shifted the video title, description, and comments to the side of the screen. In their place were video recommendations, just to the side of the video playing, with larger thumbnails and titles. Most who saw it hated it. Although the redesign did not appear for everyone, YouTube later scrapped the changes in the weeks that followed, as the criticism was all negative. Criticism of New Design YouTube reintroduces controversial redesign, shifting video details to the side But the terrible YouTube redesign has made a comeback. A number of users have been reporting seeing the new look appear over the last few days, although it doesn't appear to be a general rollout yet. The redesign may indicate YouTube is gathering more data and user feedback This seems like another round of testing. The reemergence of this facelift begs the question of YouTube's intentions. It's not sure whether this new layout will be the default experience, but with YouTube testing it over and over, it means they are collecting more data and feedback. User Feedback YouTube states the changes are part of an "experiment" with no clear end date Some users have received responses to YouTube tweets suggesting that the change is only an "experiment." But these seem to be generic responses rather than ones specific to the situation. This might be an experiment, but there is no word on what YouTube is trying to achieve by the new design. YouTube seems to be reverting to a controversial redesign of its site One response from YouTube confirmed that most trials "only last a few weeks," although it is unclear if that is the case for this ongoing makeover test. Overall, it is unclear what the future of this controversial design is, with YouTube likely weighing user feedback against their own statistics and goals. FAQs What changes does the YouTube redesign introduce? The redesign moves the video title, description, and comments to the side of the screen, replacing them with larger video recommendations beside the playing video.
