The post details a comprehensive redesign of the YouTube UI, addressing various issues such as inconsistent icons, inefficient layout, and poor subscription management. The author suggests using unified icon styles, improving the explore and settings accessibility, and integrating better search and sorting options for a more user-centric experience. It also proposes features like a more intuitive video player, better comment section interactions, and enhanced subscription organization.

I Redesigned the ENTIRE YouTube UI from Scratch

Wow! UI was one thing, but she did a great job fixing the whole UX! 🫡Love it!
Hoping that YouTube team sees this video and actually make it happen!🤣

One few more special requests (I use the ‘Improve YouTube’ extension now):
<ul>
<li>Allow me to increase the speed beyond 2.0 (3.5 max would be good)</li>
<li>Show video’s in a high resolution by default (IT’S THE YEAR 2025! Video’s on 4K screen with a 780p quality, really?)</li>
<li>Normalize the volume for all video’s (by default)</li>
</ul>
And some others (these are really annoying):
<ul>
<li>If I’m typing a comment on shorts and scroll DO NOT MOVE TO ANOTHER VIDEO! and make me loose my work in progress 👏👏</li>
<li>A better way to indicate non-interest; not by this topic, language, etc.</li>
<li>Make it easier to report the content of a user (aka comment bot) without going to the user page, having to click the report button, etc; Just allow allow to report this user as a spam bot (and if I make false reports, then revoke this option)</li>
</ul>
And finally, using AI for image recognition to detect profile pictures with nudity (come on…), so I don’t have to report these damn spam accounts. I know YouTube already uses AI to detect (censor) some content in the video, so using it for profile pictures (or banners, with words like “Want to F*ck me?”) is possible!
Sorry for my little rand. We can only hope YouTube will use these recommendations, but we’ll see.
