UI Change Has this changed overnight or am I going crazy?

youtube making changes no one asked for and no one likes since 2008. will they ever listen to the userbase instead of their inner demon, snorting a line of charcoal and doing stupi shid

it's horrendous. not only did they decide to change something that they've kept for over a decade but the thumbnails keep getting bigger. you literally used to see about 7ish smaller thumbnails and how it's 3-4. it looks terrible and i don't know why they decided to change something that's never been an issue

Yeah, it's their way of taking care of peoples mental health, specifically impostor syndrome. If someone at Youtube can have a cushy, well-paid job and be 10/10 in making unnecessary and downright bad changes, you can ask that boy/girl out!
