Every time I read “YouTube redesign” I hope for a proper Material You design (including adaptive colors). Instead it’s always just some menus shifting around.
It makes me really mad cause YouTube is clearly taking ideas from Material Design 3, and even M3 recommends customizing it, but the way YouTube has done it is to make components smaller and harder to use in comparison to canonical M3. Like the bottom bar which is way thinner than the M3 one in comparison.
It makes YouTube look like it’s using a M3 knockoff
Use LibreTube. It doesn’t have ads, it protects your privacy and it has full Material You support. It also has SponsorBlock and DeArrow built in. It’s just a superior YouTube experience.
honestly, I think YouTube music is kind of been on a roll lately with changes. I know some people were against the comment section being at it for songs, but I love it
YTM will be on a roll when it starts giving me worthwhile musical suggestions. Regardless of the playlist, it keeps throwing the same stuff back at me. I barely discovered anything new through my music app since I switched from Spotify to YTM. I unironically discover new music more often through YouTube than YouTube Music.
As for the comment section, I listen to music in the car or while I work, so for me the comment button is just… another button lol
That is strange, I’ve had the opposite experience. YouTube’s mixes are great and interesting, and being able to pick from “familiar” and “discover” in your queue to instantly pick out different music rocks. Also the discover mix can be nice
Weird. I just came back from 2 months on Spotify to make sure I wasn’t crazy, and for me, the playlists are noticeably worse. Don’t get me wrong, YTM understands which artists I do like, but they don’t seem to get what artists I could like.
Yeah. May just be one of those cases that has listening habits that work better with one of the algos than the other. Dunno. I also would love a proper desktop app, but a man can dream.
