I will say I find the new layout more difficult to navigate, although I'd admit I'm not used to it. Still, the new layout being more centralized around sectioning and organizing front page sections with specific videos? In most cases, the videos that will end up there are either the most special or most popular videos they have, which isn't necessarily what you'd really want to see, especially if this counts as advertising to new users checking out your channel. They want to see the average video so they know the user instead of what came out biggest and best.
But I guess all the old features are still buried in there on individual pages, so you can overlook the wall of videos you don't care about and try another tab. I suppose the problem I have with the new layout is it just doesn't seem necessary and the reasons for it don't seem applicable to a majority of YouTubers who end up being relatively small-time compared to the bigger YouTubers who'd give this any legitimate use if any.
