I had one (1) message in Discord deleted and proceeded to make a huge, huge mess about how it was a violation of free speech and how moderators are supposed to be spam janitors and nobody should have the right to tell me not to talk about school shootings

Hmm.

It's certainly neat, and would be very nice for a remote-control-from-the-couch video player. However the interface just irks me. There's a giant "report copyright infringement" button, but no way to add to your playlists. V.v Priorities...
What is interesting though is I picked a 10-minute video, and watched it from start to finish. I didn't have to wait for it to load first and it didn't even pause 3/4 through to switch servers. This only happened once, but it's still interesting. Perhaps some changes in the backend as well?

As many sites are reporting they've also added the ability to upload 1080p videos.

I prefer the old interface, although I can understand the XL version being better if you're viewing it from a distance.

I really don't like nonstandard scroll bars though

This, my friends, is what us PS3 users see.

And if there are any videos that are outside the US (Yes, even canada), we will not be able to view the damn video.

It blows.

Well, I watched a little on it. It was OK, but I didn't really like the visual style (though the overall dark theme would be something nice to see as a global option on youtube.), the controls are a bit buggy in Opera, but that might just be Opera's problem and it kinda lacked some features, like I couldn't find a subscriptions section. Other than that, I suppose it's fine for consoles and portable devices with built-in browsers.

I used it with my Wii for a bit. I don't care for how it displays search results too much.

Wow, I have to say I do not like the XL style of youtube. As everyone is already saying the old interface is a lot better and that XL is better for like far off distances.

I'll stick with the old interface for as long as I can

YouTube XL is nothing new and, in fact, was mostly designed for widescreen television viewing.

Just tried it. Got nothing but a black rectangle in place of the video, no sound either, and the navigator didn't try to make me install a missing plugin.
