So I know there has been a lot of fuss about the new YouTube channel layout; many YouTubers have posted videos showing disapproval of the mandatory switch in July 2009. HOWEVER, having personally seen the differences between the two channel layouts and options, I can tell you I like the new one a whole lot better. First of all, it looks more trendy. Another reason is because the new layout

OK, so every time you watch a YouTube video, to the right side is the description. If you want to see that full description, you need to click on the "more info" link. If you are a detailed person, like my self, I do this for nearly every video I watch... because I don't want to miss something. The point is that pushing this for every video gets annoying. Why can't YouTube just make a

YouTube is way behind in the race to put TV and video online. The internet site called Hulu has hundreds of episodes of CURRENT TV shows and semi current/popular movies available, all free and legal to watch right on your computer. YouTube on the other hand just recently got in to the online movie/show streaming business and so far, their shows suck: really old and really bad. ***If you have a

Have you seen it? The little red dots which have recently started appearing in the top left corner of loading thumbnails of YouTube videos.What is this? I can tell you what it is not: it's not an indicator for a user being online or offline. It is not an indicator of "partner" (or Google Adsense) videos. It does not have anything to do with recently added videos. It does not have to do with

OK, this has got to stop! It's ridiculous! For the past two nights in a row, YouTube has been unable to load on my computer. I know I know, they warned me: site maintenance was scheduled. But in times past, I was able to still get onto the site during this maintenance time. But lately: phew! YouTube should warn us about the time left and the severity of these maintenance sessions...

Today, April 14, 2009, the "Videos being watched right now..." section on the YouTube homepage was messing up. A giant red X appeared in its place. Refreshing it did no good. This was not an image, it was an Adobe Flash Player thing.***If you have a complaint, email me at StuffWrongWithYouTube@gmail.com and I will probably post it.var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

First it says "Please wait. Loading your video..."And then it says "Advertisement: Your video will start in 1 seconds." Notice the advertisement bars?The first bar starts immediately, not after a few seconds as is normal with other partner videos. Also curious, there is no advertising on this video (or to the right of it). You can see it for yourself at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

YouTube Insights is a great tool, but there is no doubt it could be better.If you're like me, you like playing with your YouTube videos to get more views: tweaking the titles, adding new tags, changing their category, or linking them up with annotations. I like seeing the effect my changes have using the Insight feature. Yet, this is hard because, unless I write down the date, I only know the

I noticed YouTube made a minor mess up on the homepage ad for the movie, Angels & Demons. Notice in the picture below, it gives the "HQ" option. But when you click on it, the "HQ" turns into an "HD."No biggy.

There is a little option when you upload a video which asks if you want to "make this video available on mobile phones and TV." This really is not talking about YouTube selling your video TV stations or documentaries. No, this is talking about YouTube sharing your video on its mobile phone version of its website, m.youtube.com, and its TV site, youtube.com/tv. The complaint YouTube partners (

Today was the first time I've seen this problem: if you change any settings on your account, it should show a green bar at the top of the screen saying something like, "changes saved." But today, there were no words, as the picture shows above.To be honest, I don't care about this glitch. It's the new users that might be a little thrown off, but even then, they will figure things out.***If you

This has been happening to me ever since YouTube updated the "My Account" interface: it will say someone shared a video with me, but there is nothing in the folder...I don't really care that much because I rarely watch shared videos, because it is usually just spam.Perhaps the videos shared with me that don't show up are from people who I have blocked.At least this hasn't been happening with my

There are some special circumstances which require my attention outside of YouTube. This is one of them.On March 25, 2009, Blogger.com (the company which this blog is done through) announced on the user's accounts that there was a "Scheduled outage at 4:00PM PDT on Thursday (3/25)"There is one problem: March 25 of 2009 falls on a Wednesday, not a Thursday!

When YouTube played with the aspect-ratio (that is how the size/shape of the video in relation to the video-screen size/shape) and played with the in-video annotations editing, it messed up how the annotations look.For example, this picture below is of a YouTube video which was uploaded before the high/low quality option. But the aspect-ratio is wide screen and fills up the whole YouTube player.

If you have over 400 subscribers, chances are you get at least five friend invites a year. Think about how many friend invites YouTube stars get weekly, like LisaNova or CommunityChannel gets weekly. They must get hundreds weekly. And like with on most social networking sites (which YouTube kinds is because of the whole friend invite thing), many users just accept the friends without even

I have multiple YouTube accounts and no matter how I set the viewing quality on them, it seems like they are always resetting. If YouTube is reading this: I JUST WANT TO VIEW VIDEOS IN HIGH-QUALITY, THANK YOU!Why did they make this feature if it doesn't work? ***If you have a complaint, email me at StuffWrongWithYouTube@gmail.com and I will probably post it.var gaJsHost = (("https:" ==

If you're like me, I browse through YouTube and find all a much of videos that I want to see. I open these videos in new tabs and let them load while I browse more.But wait, then I have to pause each individual video so that they don't all start playing.WHO USES QuickList? SHAME ON YOU! (Why? Just because, ok?)QuickList is fairly impractical in my experience. I mean it is a good concept, but

Have you ever opened up someone's Myspace and after 5 minutes of loading all the songs and videos, it starts playing all a bunch of stuff at one time? It sounds like when someone turns on all the radios at Best Buy. YouTube hasn't gotten this bad yet, but the "autoplay" feature on Partner profiles is a step toward that. I'm talking about when you click on someone's profile and the user's

There's no way to remove the "Last Sign In" on your YouTube profile. Some people might not care to much, but for others it is a constant annoyance. I mean: why do I have to announce to the world that I log into my YouTube channel hourly... or not at all... Shouldn't that stuff be private? Any way, does the time need to be sooooo exact? For some of the more popular YouTubers out there, the "

OK, so one really really frustrating thing for YouTube Partners and Advertisers is that free-loader sites, like Metacafe, have found a way to embed YouTube videos so that the InVideo advertisements won't show up. Even worst perhaps, Metacafe does not even link up the "Affiliate Submitter;" instead it merely says the user name and links just to the YouTube main page. Now, YouTube might be fine
