YouTube is reportedly testing a new website layout that removes the date when a video was uploaded and the amount of views it has.

Over the last couple of years, YouTube has experimented with changes to its website that remove various features.

The Google-owned company removed dislikes back in 2021 to reduce targeted attacks on videos, prompting backlash from users worldwide. However, a browser extension to bring them back quickly rose from the ashes.

On Monday, October 28, VidIQ reported in a post on X that YouTube is testing a new homepage layout that removes view counts and dates.

In the screenshot, you can see six videos that show the thumbnail, title, and channel name – but nothing else. Normally, you’ll find the view count and an estimate of how long ago the video was uploaded under the channel name.

Shortly after the tweet was posted, dozens of users flocked to the comments to share their thoughts about the potential change.

“View counts and dates matter in selecting between videos on the same topic. I get from a product perspective what they’re trying to do, but this isn’t better for viewers or creators,” one user commented.

Another said: “View counts I kinda get but dates? having a more recent video on a topic is really important a lot of the time.”

“I don’t like that. I want to see how old a video is. View count doesn’t bother me, but if I’m looking for up-to-date information on something, I don’t want a 6-year-old video, y’know?” replied a third.

Tech YouTuber Marques ‘MKBHD’ Brownlee shared his thoughts as well. “Stop chasing Netflix and just be YouTube,” he said.

What does the schedule look like this week? Since Halloween is on a Thursday, will the person of interest stream be a separate thing, or will it count as the second episode and therefore no Friday stream?

I don't know if there's a regular MatI this week, but this would be interesting content

I've never smoked crack, but this is a "One Hitter" pipe that I've seen used with weed. If you look closely in the video you can see a little bit of flower in there. But he's too drunk not to exhale through the pipe, so it takes forever to light.

At least we can say this, Ethan is not a practiced smoker.

Edit:
Please, let this fill your heart with glee.

Hey check out this.

A guy cheating in Civilization 6, online match and ranking was busted.

The video below does a good analysis and lay the cheater bare. Proving the old adage of doing something to amny times it will always get revealed.

It is Karl Jobst level of scrutiny.

The game should be change so that when playing multiplayer the quick save files don't include the entire map of the game and instead only save parts of the map the player has exposed.

Romanian TVee out of the park again. Also it's the same thing that happened in Robert Calhoun's Rats and how those lessens went into creating the failed public housing project Perri Igo. (Have a bunch of poor women you boss around and control with welfare and kick them men out so nobody starts getting any ideas)

Deon "Butterdog" Garth's recent refusals to eat or bathe for weeks has resulted in his mom threatening to have him institutionalized. Reasonably, Deon secretly filmed himself confronting his mom about these threats. I don't believe the inciting argument itself was captured, hence why Deon re-instigated the issue on camera.

Meanwhile, his livestreams have been abysmal. He either sleeps or silently watches someone else streaming while laying in bed. His chat is pure sycophants telling anyone who comes by to like the stream and donate to his GoFundMe. He's streaming right now and it's literally just this:
