Personally, I HATE the new channels. I know when youtube made us switch to the "beta" channels everyone hated it but then we got used to it. But I must say, I can tell right now that we will not get used to these "improved" channels. I can't stand being on a channel for more than 3 minutes. When they first came out, I just hoped they wouldn't make it permanent. I might as well just quit youtube now. (JK, but seriously..) It's just so hard to work with and there are so many pages just to get to things. I mean, no partner branding features? That's what makes partners unique, and when we switch, many will be disappointed. Also, there's no option to upload a banner. Some how we have to incorporate that into our background...? Why don't we show the description in the featured video? In the "videos" tab why do we have to click a video, go back, then choose another just to watch someone's videos? Why are channel comments so hidden? There's so much less interaction with our viewers now. Like really. Click more just to get to things? It's so much easier when everything is just on one page. Look at the rating on the videos from "partnersupport" about the new layout. That gives you an idea on how most of us like this new channel. I know you guys think this will be better over time, but it loses a lot of viewers, especially affecting the smaller YouTubers. All though I really don't like the new channels, here are some things that could make it better: 1. Put the channel comments on the side so it can be seen easily 2.Put arrows so we can move around the boxes like old channels 3. In Featured Tab make an "All" theme so we can at least choose what we want to show 4. Bring back branding features! If you agree with me, share this page everywhere if you don't like the new channels. I know YouTube probably won't listen, but it's worth a shot. Maybe one of them will read this. ~Hevesh5 [Originally posted by. "heveshfive" on YouTube Help forums]

The feedback in the comments section proves that this layout change hurts our ability to interact with viewers.

Send a direct message to your representative at YouTube and tell them why the branding options are disappearing.

The momentum is building because we all know the current layout ruins creator interaction. Post this link on Facebook and tag the official support account to show them this is not just a loud minority.

The layout is absolute garbage. Why do they keep fixing things that arent broken?? Give us back the old classic design.
