-The three columns give a vertical look which I dislike a lot. 99.9% of the people has a 4:3, 16:9, 16:10 resolution. Why make a layout that works a lot better with 9:16?
-The tagged subscriptions are pointless as you can only tag 5 before having to press 'more' to see the rest. If only you could remove the google+ and facebook crap noone cares about.
-I don't care about the recommended videos that are trending for every category. Waste of space.
-Suggested channels are horrible. 5 out of 6 visisble ones I've never seen a video of, the other I've seen 1 video of and I disliked it. How about removing that if it doesn't work.
-the subscription videos are all in 1 column so you have to scroll for ages.
-It's not visible if you watched the video before and they removed the [x] function so its a huge mess of videos you watched, didn't watch and don't want to watch.
-The column with recommended videos is crappy as all hell. Just because I watch one video about a thing doesn't mean that you need to recommend every other thing about it to me.
-On channels, you cant click on a video and watch it embedded in the channel (afaik), so watching a couple of videos in a row takes more effort.

Just to name a few things.

Oh yeah, I saw the new channel "design" for the first time today too.

Seriously, what the fuck. As if the old one wasn't cluttered enough.

Btw, it could be possible that you are suggested stupid things because of videos you may have watched by clicking links.

Yeah because youtube for some reason thinks you've liked every video you've ever seen, including the ones you've "Dislike"d.

I commented on how at least I wasn't missing videos anymore, well I just noticed it hasn't actually been showing me all the videos and in some cases you need to press a "show more" button if the uploader added several videos at the same time.

I agree with most people here. Not mad on the new design. Don't like not being able to remove videos [double negative ftw]. lots of stuff in the sidebar thing i'd like to remove but cant. Don't care about recommended stuff usually.
I like the shape but i dont think it's used well at all.
Sometimes I dont watch peoples videos for days and when it shows only the most recent one I have to go off to the persons channel and start searching.

i hope they do something quickly

At first, it offended my brain. But as with most change, you grow used to it and just accept it.
It's not assaulting my human rights or anything.. or is it?
Quack.

Sure you grow used to it just like you grow used to the old layout and then they change it again for no reason, not really making things much better, sometimes making them a little worse, it's just this whole change for the sake of change mentality. I'm sure there's some invisible benefit to them like the new layout consumes 2% less bandwidth which saves them X money over the next fiscal quarter etc. but man whatever.

Is there any way to be told when you have a new message? I can see when I get a new comment now, but I can't see when I get a new message.

Well, to the Chrome web store I go...

Also i don't know if anyone figured this out yet but adding /home after youtube.com will change it back to the old layout (although the design for the background and buttons are still the same)

i tried using /home. didnt work :c

what really? well.. i suppose it was kinda odd having subscribers and friends. although if you were just friends you didnt get notified of new uploads i think? correct me if i'm wrong.

I'd much rather have a system like facebook or G+ which is specifically for maintaining an online persona rather than trying to merge my real life with online.

Funny. I decided to take a look at the suggested videos. They were only Kingdom Heart videos. Just because the last youtube video I opened was a Kingdom Heart video? Quite amusing.

I guess I understand now the other people here whining about unrelated videos. Not that I care much personally, since I never look at them, I seek the videos through the search bar.

Yeah, because facebook totally doesn't try everything ever to merge your real life with your online life.
Like automatically synchronizing your phone's address book with FB or creating a worldwide database of people's facial features including their names and addresses.

Like facebook. You wouldn't put your real name or picture on it, it wouldn't work anyway because existing sites wouldn't want to add a new system to sign ups. There would be other issues too like conflicting usernames (set up multiple names tied to the account perhaps)

No offense, but that could've meant what he said, too. "Like facebook or G+" could mean "either facebook or G+" or it could mean "Similar facebook or G+"

Don't harp on him for misunderstanding ambiguity, here! :P

Moreover, it is now impossible to "Like" videos unless you have a G+ account.

Fuck everything.
(Also, http://zippcast.com/ is back again, you know, that site that always seems to pop up once Google undertakes bigger changes on Youtube and that all the frustrated people go to?)
