Hello people of the internetz.
Before starting i'll let you know that i don't know how to speak or write english at all. I wrote everything on portuguese and used Google to translate it. So the text below may have a lot of typos.
---------------------------------------
As you might know, YouTube recently unveiled the new 2013 channel design. Channels like MysteryGuitarMan and EpicMealTime already have this new layout. I would just accept the new layout, as i did with the 2009 one and with the Cosmic-Panda-Thingy, if it wasn't the fact that
THIS NEW DESIGN HORRIBLY DECREASES THE ORIGINALITY AND CREATIVITY OF ALL YOUTUBE CHANNELS.
Back in 2009 you could really make your YouTube channel what you wanted it to be. You could make your own background, you could customize all the features in the sidebar and you could even decide what to show on the menu. Back in that time, a new kind of people began to grow on YouTube: designers. Want your channel to look cool and unique but don't know photoshop? Easy, hire a designer! These people really began to make money just by making other people's backgrounds and banners, and it was a great oportunity for people to show their talents on photoshop and stuff.
In this new channel layout, we only have two cuztomization options: banner and playlists. WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?! You can't tell the difference between a YouTube user and a YouTube partner, because there's no Partner-banner and no sidebar image. And everything is white, full and BORING. YouTube channels now are just like any other YouTube Page: A BORING WHITE BACKGROUND AND LITTLE SQUARES WITH PICS (the videos).
What about the designers? DID GOOGLE THOUGH ABOUT THEM?! What about the creativity of each of the YouTubers? We're all just the same now? Just another channel with nothing unique? JUST ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL?! I bet that 90% of YouTube users are very pissed about this new layout thing. But what Google thinks of this? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Most of the people who are complaining are powerless.
Most of!
What i want to do here is call the attention of Google, by pressuring BIG YOUTUBERS, INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE to talk to Google about all this shit. But why am i here in the Pewdiepie forum? Because PewDie is a friend of the biggest youtubers ever: IAN and ANTHONY from SMOSH!
PewDie, if you're reading this, please, do something about this. It's time to show Google that they need to FUCKING LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY AND STOP BEING INDIFERENT ABOUT OUR SITUATION.
Pewds, you know Smosh, you can get them to talk to Google about this and i'm sure Google WILL pay attention to them (unless those 7 million subscribers represent nothing to them). Smosh are very big and i'm sure Google will listen to them. You are an influential person too, you can do that as well. But i think if the 3 of you get to say all of this (all the creativity and awesomeness of YouTube that will be lost with the new layout) to Google, they will listen. Please, do this for the YouTube community, think about all the productivity and creativity (and awesomeness) that will be lost with this new YouTube. Think about the partners, that will be just as regular YouTubers, with no special features at all. Think about all the people who live from designing YouTube channels that will be useless. Please, do that, it will be GREAT and i'm sure all the YouTube community will be very satisfied
As for the rest of us, we can sign this! change.org/petitions/youtube-p…e-ytcreators?utm_campaign
I hope you all understand how important this is for the YouTube creators and how Google need to stop ignoring our feedback about new YouTube features.
Thank you very much and sorry for my terrible english.
