I would love to be thrilled about change someday.
Well, it looks like I've got another project to work on. Barely a year after their last overhaul, YouTube has once again decided that progress is only made by throwing out the old to make way for the new, and they've started rolling out a completely different channel design that will soon completely replace what I was just getting used to. I don't even know how to complain about this kind of thing anymore; between Facebook and Netflix, I've started to become numb to forced change. There was a time where I'd be a conscientious objector in my own way, subverting some aspect of the new regime in a fun, harmless way that also passively voiced my disdain; now, I barely have the energy. Facebook, YouTube...these are supposed to be vehicles, mediums through which to express myself; I'm feeling more and more like the whole Internet is dictating how I'm supposed to channel my creativity, rather than offering me the choices I know it's capable of. I make the best of my options more often than my options open up new possibilities.
I would love to be thrilled about change someday.

Goodness Youtube, you know you had some potential to make this a cool update. Making it so we can see two long lines of video titles which basically make all the video titles viewable on the sidebar. And having an integration of trailers is a fun idea to mess around with. But the good is just overwhelmed by the bad; the new channel layout makes every channel look the same except for one section, the banner. And don't even get me started on how stupid the subscription layout is now, I'd like to be able to see more than 3 videos at a time that are in the box, and oh, I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE ONES I'VE WATCHED WHY ARE THEY STILL THERE?
