Why did YouTube change their website?

[Tj]

There is no way you can go back to the old layout. This is not an optional feature set. Google has been trying to break into the social market, so it trying trick after trick to make that happen. They game out with.

- google buzz, massive failure,
- then google plus, moderate failure

Now they are trying to forcibly make people tie their Google plus page with their YouTube account and that is why you are having to see people's avatars. What I find even more annoying is having to scroll down trough comments by pressing the show more button. Google is trying to simplify things for the masses, but is destroying things for its core user group. They have been doing that ever since they took over YouTube. Remember the old 5 star interface of YouTube. That layout was SO much better. Getting to amazing videos was SO easy. I detest the new YouTube to the bottom of my ball sack. Sucks for users like us.
