Ha! My first reaction from this article is that someone is up for the next promotion cycle.
Come on, it was a team effort. It took at least six designers to come up with that new color.

#92> Robyn: To give YouTube a sense of motion, we created a dynamic red-to-magenta gradient. For the second color, orange and yellow were strong contenders, but magenta felt like the most natural pairing with our new red. Interestingly, magenta doesn't often appear in the natural world, so it symbolizes the imagination and evolution that YouTube embodies. We also placed the gradient at a 45-degree angle with magenta on…
any time i read quotes like that, i immediately start rolling my eyes that people actually believe the words being uttered. "symbolizes the imagination and evolution" yeah, that's what a color says to me. these are essentially Rorschach level tests where it says more about the person than anything factual

Bateman: [internal monologue] Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God... it even has a watermark.
Perfect

#94I literally can’t read this blog post because it keeps jumping to the top of the page to play the video again and again. Maybe take 10% of the time you spent dreaming up new colors to just make your blog function like a regular page instead of adding a million weird animations?
Same problem, Safari / iOS - pausing the video at the top and then scrolling seems to resolve
Edit: Nevermind, seems related to how far you scroll. Scrolling further got me past the first few paragraphs that kept jumping back. Ugh

#96An ad interrupted my video today, it was Tom Hanks in a podcast talking about his prostate.
The ad was (not so obviously) AI generated; both an AI clone of his voice and an AI-generated face-swap/ lip replacement.
This seemed pretty surprising because it was fairly convincing. He looks like he is saying the dialog of the ad.
It's surprising because there's no way the creator of the ad got Hanks' approval to use his likeness; meanwhile Youtube is profiting by selling the ad. Seems illegal, yet i'm forced to watch the garbage.
The ad in general is part of a similar trend I've been seeing of these AI generated voices speaking fast about prostates or large eggplants (if you know what I mean) used with influencers' or podcasters' likenesses. I would never click on the garbage, and it's probably a scam anyway.
I just scratch my head wondering if this massive company realizes the garbage they are forcing into our lives.

#97Not the most ridiculous design update description I've read, but still tough to get through the whole page. What's the idea behind changing the cursor on desktop to a circular tap indicator?
Messing with the cursor like that feels so amazingly invasive and it makes using the page significantly more difficult. Is the point on the round cursor in the upper left? middle? who knows!

#98YT's user interface has been user hostile for over a decade.
The secret to sanity is to never use YT's interface to consume YT content.

#99Reminds me of the infamous Pepsi logo redesign: https://www.goldennumber.net/wp-content/uploads/pepsi-arnell...
That's insane. How did this ever get approved?
Re: YouTube's New Hue
#100Earlier quoted context omitted.
Non-sequitur aside, what specifically do you want to post on YouTube that's not allowed? To me it seems like you have to go pretty far off the rails before they'll step in.
I'll bite; - When I search for recent news e.g. "australian medical staff jewish" (current topic), all the results are left leaning responses. I would mostly prefer to see the original video without commentary and uncut, and also would like to see more right wing responses. (A lot of issues over the years that were right leaning would just surface late night comedians mocking the right wings perspective on such issue…
