As a content creator, I find the new layout to be counter-productive. It not only makes the uploader's content harder to find for their subscribers, but also has added many unnecessary features to the layout that, quite frankly, do not need to be there.
I find the huge lack of response from YouTube to any negative comments regarding the change, disturbing. From the appearance of their twitter page, the only responses being made are to those who are in favour of said changes.
The technical issues aside, such as the GUI not working to incorporate certain things, such as show graphics & watch page icons, the overall design is displeasing to the eye. The entire website is now left-aligned leaving an eyesore of white space to the right of the page.
The point of this petition is to request that YouTube be reverted to the previous layout that we all know & love, and that was actually functional.
Thank you for reading & signing this petition.

Honestly who approved this design? It looks like a placeholder. Bring back the old version.
