Is it to do with april fools?Why did youtube change the layout?They'll tell you they did it to make it more convenient for the user but the reality is they did it for more money. As you know, popular videos, both good and bad, receive ads on their video screen, the more people who see these videos the more money youtube gets. The most notorious change they made is removing the star rating system, which has angered alot of users. The star rating system gave users a good idea how generally liked and disliked a video is. With the star rating system removed there is no way to tell how good a video is and so they all appear the same making it more likely users will click on videos with a lot of views. I know this for certain as my most popular video, before the change was getting about 20-30 views a day, and now I've received almost 700 views since the change. Still I'd prefer the old youtube over the new one.Why did youtube change the layout?The new layout isn't April Fools, but the TextP thing where the video changes to text is.Why did youtube change the layout?Let e have a guest.. It's because those youtube downloader. they don't want their videos get copied or something. but its near on it because all of those youtube converter sites don't work now.Why did youtube change the layout?doesn't it have to do with I-pads? apple removed flash from their systems and the only way to make it work for apple is to change youtube's layout. well, thats what i heard.Why did youtube change the layout?Its also an effort to save money by cutting back bandwidth usage.
