Judging from screenshots in this article, it doesn't seem to loose or gain any functionality: all of the same controls are present.
With this in mind.
Who cares!? It's neither good nor bad. It's like the thing with playback line color. Yes, it's different, no, I didn't notice until some pointed it out, no, I couldn't care less.
I don't think it's too bad. I can imagine those with some slight visual impairments it might've been awkward to see the buttons some times without a background for them
I don't use the youtube app but I've hated every new redesign. Bring back the old ui
stupid transcript button
I don't think it looks terrible, but it does look like windows media player from 20 years ago.
Oh so is that why I sometimes have to wait for a minute now before I can play a video?
