- renegadeafk, on 04/20/2008, -1/+30The people that comment
- naescag, on 04/20/2008, -3/+28Great, more features that don't fix what's fundamentally wrong with YouTube.
- Psygnosis, on 04/20/2008, -0/+16When is widescreen support coming?
- jamesmcq24, on 04/20/2008, -0/+12what unimpressive feature updates. just proves sites stop being innovative once they become big for fear of killing their user base.
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -2/+14WTB a stage 6 alternative. Youtube is nothing but censorship and emos with grainy cellcams.
- doshindude, on 04/20/2008, -0/+10LULZ GREAT VIDEO 10/10
check out my vids plz
this video's ok but it sucks compared to this one [insert URL here]
yeah, YT users have IQs of 30. - piginawig, on 04/20/2008, -6/+15What is fundamentally wrong with youtube?
- tidu, on 04/20/2008, -1/+10Really? I think they look a lot better. And they need to change the profile page, it currently looks like it was made in Frontpage
- Cronikeys, on 04/20/2008, -0/+7Definitely a function over form approach.
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -0/+7the crappy video quality, and having to sift through comments to find replys, just like crappy digg
- poohat1000, on 04/20/2008, -3/+10exactly, when did "dont be evil" turn into "be a *****"? or does it not count for youtube.... yes google, im talking to you.
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -0/+6how about hd quality? youtube kills my eyes
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -1/+7YouTube used to be a community. Now it's more of just a website to host your videos.
- thekms, on 04/20/2008, -1/+6oh god please don't tell me you're one of them...
- Snowbeam, on 04/20/2008, -1/+6The stats are a little more useful with the current display. At least they've tried. At least Google helped them improve a little bit.
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -0/+4***** off. You are the cancer that is killing youtube.
- agentlame, on 04/20/2008, -0/+4I emailed them about it, yesterday. This is the canned response they sent me:

The YouTube Team - Owwmykneecap, on 04/20/2008, -0/+4"A comment has been made on your video"
Surely a symbol would do, that leaves no room for the Title of my vids...
And integrating friend requests...
95% of Friend requests are spam. - inactive, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3Well if you hang with vloggers, we take the proper care to write intelligent and comprehensive comments without resorting to aol speak.
- Kanidia, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3Okay guys, we need to stop this discovery5000 guy from making more accounts. Any ideas? Digg, please do something about people signing off their comments with annoying links =(.
Unfortunately there is no "report as spam" link that I know of. - Kanidia, on 04/20/2008, -1/+4Why would you need to find a reply to your comment? YouTube comments have the least authentic and most stupid things I've ever heard.
- johnn11238, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3"you can send out 1000's of friend requests while you sleep" How the ***** is this legal??? Why is youtube spam different from any other ***** spam???
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3I've done it when people have fought with authors about separate download media (MP3s) and when someone creates 8bit music fight those who call it a crappy MIDI or something stupid. Nobody ever respects the author on YT.
You know, normal stuff. - ehal256, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2&fmt=6 for MPeg4 h.264 encoded
&fmt=18 for "HQ" FLV encoding
Which one actually works depends on what the video was originally uploaded as. The FLV one has a higher bitrate and more fps, but has worse sound quality (i.e. mono vs. stereo, and lower bitrate) - ronster72, on 04/20/2008, -1/+3censortube
- hmunkey, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2You already can?
- LingNoi, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2Yes, the censorship on youtube is ridiculous. If you don't want to hear an opposing view then don't go to the damn video!
Please someone make an uncensored video sharing site that won't cave into pressures. - Myonosken, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2Just click the "View High Quality Version" link below videos that have a HQ video included.
- Crumbeast, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2Did you even read the description? You just need to follow the links in the article to activate these features.
- doshindude, on 04/20/2008, -1/+2You don't need to be. I sift through and screen all comments to my YT videos due to how retarded YT users are, but it's so ****ing hard due to the browser-crashing comment system that makes firefox hang if you have more than 50 comments to one video (although FF3 isn't nearly as bad).
- hmunkey, on 04/20/2008, -1/+2In all honesty from Google's standpoint it seems like religious persecution, and while we know that Google's employees are no idiots, it might not be worth their trouble to keep it on.
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1seriously? i hope i don't get a virus if when i try that if i do i'm coming after you
- poohat1000, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1bollocks to that
- Kanidia, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1You can't just "get a virus". Most viruses are triggered through very obvious methods, such as opening an exe file.
- Myonosken, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Crappy quality videos, bad commenting system, generally slow servers
- TheWindBlows, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1It works, i can confirm (been doing to for the past month or so).
i have a compiled greasemonket script addon that does this to every youtube video. - alexray0, on 04/20/2008, -1/+2Add "&fmt=18" (without quotes) to the end of the Youtube video url for higher quality videos.
- scottsharperz, on 04/21/2008, -0/+0A small step in the right direction. :o)
- ligyron, on 04/20/2008, -4/+4Why do you bother to comment on YouTube videos? Let alone actually read what people respond to you with
- joshualamgroup, on 04/20/2008, -2/+2that's just your dumb opinion..
i personally like the new look. - inactive, on 04/20/2008, -2/+1Does anyone have a screenshot? I don't have it yet for my account.
- kirk06, on 04/20/2008, -3/+2I think you'll get over it.
- renegadeafk, on 04/20/2008, -4/+2you can find comments easily via your profile...
- bizkit00, on 04/20/2008, -5/+1the people are being kind of retarded in the comments about the xenutv thing, i mean be on the right side, but also dont act like a stupid little kid when trying to help your case
- fanboydcs, on 04/20/2008, -10/+1when will I be able to view the h.264 videos in my browser, or can I only access them though my iPhone and Appletv? You would think that someone would have found a way to access those higher quality videos directly..
- 333cale, on 04/20/2008, -20/+4why does youtube find it necessary to constantly update everything?
All the new layouts kind of suck IMHO.
