Oh my god what the hell did YouTube just do to its UI

[prog]

"Don't watch this video! Here watch one of these instead!" On every single video. I mean, literally on it. Nice.

Edit, one day later: the stuff I was complaining about seems to be gone now.

What youtube did to their interface rhymes with "ucked up" and starts with "what focus group did they get fried on crystal meth to come up with an idea this f?"

Maybe they'll fix it in a couple of days. I think I'll spend those days not watching youtube.

I'm especially impressed that the first video in the list of alternates seems to always be the one you're watching right now.

I haven't been able to get a video to load at all. bah!

This UI will be very successful.


The far more interesting topic is: how can you select which videos to include in the set of links?

Update: they've fixed it. (At least, when i look at videos now, the stupidity is gone.)
