Anyone else noticed the new Youtube player update? It looks weird in theater mode on smaller resolution monitors but it is still an upgrade. I really like it compared to a lot of other Youtube changes done in the past. Anyone else liking the look of it?

I really like it, I usually despise any update made to YouTube.

I thought it was just windows 10 being strange, but apparently not. I kinda like it...

People online will flip out about anything possible if it is different, but lately there have been a lot of good changes happening on Youtube, new player ui and no Google+

As if previous updates were bad.

G+ integration, no more video responses, no more star rating system, favorites became just a playlist, two versions of watch later, no longer tying YouTube usernames so people can make fake accounts impersonating other people and phishing, changes in the recommended videos section that shows less recommendations, uncountable homepage changes that shifted content displayed on the homepage, can't even find the YouTube messaging system anymore, attempting to read old comment replies makes the page reload, the same when clicking timestamps, viewer data available to the public has been decreased in detail...

Top notch stuff.

Edit: I think the sarcasm went over my head.

Much flatter (good thing) and similar to Johny Foreigner, I have also noticed speed improvements.

Improved speed. <3
Before, whenever I used the arrow keys to fast forward, there was a delay. That shit is gone now.

It's okay I guess, I really don't pay much attention to the UI.

Not super on topic but I felt like not enough people were aware and I didn't want to make a new thread on it but you can use J, K and L for controls. J (Previous), K (Pause) and L (Next). Like using arrow keys and spacebar but when I use spacebar my screen scrolls down and it doesn't happen when using K so just thought I'd share that. This has been around for awhile but now is as good as ever to say it.

I wasn't being sarcastic. Those are good updates. Youtube is way better than what it was when I joined VT.
