YouTube's New UI was horrible (1 Viewer)

Looks like YT just switched back to the old layout. The new one was very distracting with the video suggestions under the video you're watching, and the comments squeezed in the right sidebar. Did anyone else notice the new UI this week?

No, I didn't see any changes this week. I have UT Premium, so I don't know if that is a factor.

I noticed it and hated it immediately. Glad they changed back. Did they not do any user group testing beforehand??

I swear these UI meetings at companies have a keg in the corner of the conference room and a weed bar across from it.

Sounds like you were the testing group...

I guess not. There were so many videos about how bad it was and hacks with browser addons to switch it back, plus their forums got flooded with thousands of complaints. One comment was pretty funny. They said all videos where people say leave a comment below or hit that sub/like button below would be wrong now.
