More YouTube Changes?

YouTube is an amazing place on the internet. It's where most of us content creators publish our videos to be shared with the world. In fact, there's so many of us that YouTube reports 24 hours of video being uploaded every minute! Updates to the site are often necessary, however we all know how they've been doing what seems like random and unneeded changes lately. They might be at it again...

Can you see the difference? In this image they've moved the "likes" information and made a couple other small changes. I found this image through MKBHD on Twitter and haven't seen this layout myself, but it could be coming. Why? Why do they need to change those things? Why do we need yet another unwanted and seemingly pointless update? It's bad enough that us content producers experienced decreased views from the homepage update, we don't need or want any more.

YouTube will always make changes that we don't like. They have no reason not to. It's not like there's any other video site with nearly the same exposure or community. We're not leaving YouTube - and they know it.

If they do change it to this I will be quite happy =D not much has changed and I am always liking videos on there anyways so it wont really make that much difference.. However the same can't be said for facebooks new "Photo viewer" - Its just to clunky and horrible to work with =(

I think it looks nice. I see nothing to complain about here. I happen to like change, and complaining over something as small as this doesn't seem all that noteworthy to me. I do agree on the homepage getting the overhaul, not sure that was their best idea.
