http://www.change.org/petitions/youtube-please-stop-the-new-2013-channel-designs-youtube-ytcreators#

Title is self explanatory, but if you need the text...
These new designs severely decrease the productivity of YouTubers. This completely removes most forms of customization which is what YouTube is all about, how are video creators supposed to express themselves if the channel design is a white page, with a few small pictures?

The current design is perfect as it gives the creator a feel that their own channel is unique, as-well as provides smaller channels a chance to grow.

Please YouTube, hear our cries and strongly reconsider this decision.

That was when you could customize things like the border colors, inner colors and rearrange parts of your channel like the subscribers, friends, etc, right? I liked that best

Why not just let us choose/vote for the style?

I don't see why you would want this

Some guys who were involved in the youtube update did an AmA a while back, this was one of the top posts:

Quote

YouTuber of over 6 years here. I come here for the videos of people I'm subscribed to. If I wanted to know what videos my subscriptions liked, I'd check their Facebook/twitter. I don't need YouTube to do that for me.
Your "recommended videos" are almost always ones I've either seen, or promoted ones from partners I care nothing about. I want to be able to go to my home page and go right to my subscriptions without having to click another link. I want to be able to go to a person's videos and see their other videos from there without having to visit their channel. I want to be able to see at a glance whether I have messages in my inbox. This update specifically removed functionality that made YouTube easy to use, in favor of a style that doesn't even center itself on the page.
It shows borderline incompetence. Get yout stuff together, stop trying to turn YouTube into Google+ and give me back my YouTube.

i really agree with it. i hate that google keeps asking me for my god damn phone number/name for youtube.

Soon they'll replace it with a section chooser. Like "Grab Bag" "Most Popular".

Yeah thats another loving thing, putting your name out there for anyone else to extract information out of is a severe downside to youtube.

Why didn't they mention that?

twitch.tv changed their layout but guess what they did?

IT'S THAT SIMPLE, GOOGLE, HOLY forget

And for the people that pull the "ME NO LIKE CHANGE" argument out of their ass, forget you, we have valid reasons.

I want my stars back! >:c

I think the current layout is the best one so far.
