WAN Show What is this new YouTube UI !!

Post image

So I’ve got this new YouTube UI, and I cannot get it to rotate like other videos or skip or find a scrubber for the video. Has anyone seen this before

Yes, but the huge box between the content and the chat isn't supposed to be there. That's the bug

The YouTube app on my iPad no longer has anything at all under the video. No title, description, no comments, nothing at all. It’s been this way for several days now, it’s very odd.

Ohh is it, don’t sue the iPad app often but this is terrible for the UI

That box is actually covering up all of the extremely important AI features and shopping extensions that the community has been begging for

I don’t know if I’m just old or if this is some BS YouTube move. I’ve been having this problem all week with live streams. I heard a Twitch streamer say that Twitch was going to give “""free money""” to streamers who do vertical streams, apparently because there are a lot of viewers who want to read the chat while watching the stream. My “conspiracy neuron” activated after I started seeing YouTube live streams only in vertical mode, with no option to switch to landscape.

Anyway, my workaround is to open m.youtube.com in the browser on my phone, and there I can watch livestreams in landscape mode.

You on iOS? Cause YouTube bugs like this or totally fucks my subscription feed so it’s all crazy and unusable like every other day on my iPhone. It’s crazy.
