Since the mid 2010s, every single update made to the mobile app UI has made the app SIGNIFICANTLY worse. I genuinely can’t think of a single good feature that was added. What is going on at YouTube? How do these people still have jobs? Are they just making these needless changes as promo projects? TC: 260k YOE: 0 #YouTube #Google
TC? YOE?
Added
260 is nutty at 0. Congrats 🎉
How is your pay so astronomical with 0 years of experience?
I have friends making over 400 with 0 YOE lol
Thats ridiculous. I am at 6 YOE with a TC of 85k...
Its unfortunate they did not consult you before making changes. Get in touch with the team. I am sure they will drop everything and address your high priority concerns.
Nice sarcasm, but collective customer feedback SHOULD be a high priority concern. I’m not alone in these complaints
Fucking removed the dislike count. Now whenever I watch a troubleshooting video, I can't even tell if it's a solution that works or not. Fuck them
Pressured by the MSM/Corporations to do so because they were receiving dislikes on their garbage propaganda/ads. Then YouTube makes up some BS about doing it for the health of their creators 🤣 Give me a break, how stupid do they think we are?
God I hate liberals
How is ur TC 260k with 0 YOE at MSFT? Can u break it down by base/rsu/etc? If MSFT is paying 260k for 0 yoe I will quit and join MSFT now.
Even if you have to support windows xp for the next 5 years? Its still used in POS systems.
+1. There’s no shot Microsoft pays 260k to L59/L60s, even those with clearance.
They're low on customer obsession
Everyone has to suck some dong for customer trafficking, why would YT be exempt?
PMs gotta PM to justify their existence. Devs use you to test in production. Make it worse so you buy youtube premium.
I work at YouTube ux although not on any of the things you've listed 😂😂😂 they usually so user testing and what not before things get released so im sure they had a reason
Examples: - Removed the video playing in a box when you swipe down so that you can still watch it as you browse the app. They replaced it with a stupid title bar (why do you need to be reminded of the title of the video you clicked on when collapsed?) and the video is too small to view. They also made it vertical swipe to dismiss the collapsed video instead of horizontal which was much more user friendly. -They think that their users are idiots. Now in order to change your resolution you have to click through 3 menus just to be able to select the resolution you want. Do you really think that users are so stupid that they can’t choose resolution for themselves? You guys just made it harder to use for everyone. -Replaced trending tab with TikTok clone that nobody asked for -Removed the dislike button. Can’t even tell if a video is a scam/clickbait or worth watching now -Moved the comments to a separate menu instead of just allowing us to scroll down to see them. The menu is insanely buggy and confusing to use. -Removed YouTube profile integration with Google Plus. So now when you look at old comments on videos people will be replying to people who have changed their names and that’s not reflected by the username that is tagged which makes threads impossible to follow. (Actually they’ve made so many changes to the way that tagging works that it’s a mess now. Before you could just click on the tagged user to bring up their profile and see who it was) -Removed community captions which allowed for people to watch videos that were originally made in languages they didn’t know. Now you can’t do that, rendering a large portion of content useless to those who can’t speak the language and raising new communication barriers. -0 spam filtering. Comment section is filled with people spamming their own shitty SoundClouds or YouTube channels. Also filled with bots redirecting to weird sex sites. How is it possible that Google engineers aren’t capable of coding up basic spam filters?
I am really disappointed with some of their products off late, especially YouTube music it is buggy af.
