It would be, if there was an option to see "% liked". The 5-star system offered an average rating, that the like system, as it stands, doesn't.
Not that i hate the new system, i just wish you could see the %.
I don't however like, the new grey bar that appears at the bottom of the screen when watching subscribed videos, that defaults to "autoplay next in subscriptions" with every video I load up.
me too. I find this grey toolbar of doom very annoying and it always has autoplay to on no matter if you turn it off
I'd like to add that I have never used Youtube's Quickplay or autoplay stuff. I just find it all unecessary. Is it really a hassle to go back one page to your next Subscription video, or to click on a video instead of putting it in quickplay before?
The new Google Images look...what are Google thinking? Google Images has been perfect for years, just a no fuss image search engine. It didn't need to be changed!

Agreed, being a partner with YouTube myself I have to deal with these annoyances daily. I don't like quick-play, I don't like auto-play and I don't like the new gray bar. I'd much prefer to tell YouTube what I want to watch over being told what I should watch. For instance, I subscribe to IGN because every now and then, they make a quality video (every now and then). Otherwise I'm littered with 14 new videos daily, and I'd much prefer to simply delete all but the one or two I care about instead of auto-play cycling through them.
This is great. Now I won't ACTIVELY AVOID the main page of the site, which by the way is something marketing should know the main page should not make a person do.
I think we can all agree that Facebook's new 'press Enter to post' is quite unnecessary and pretty bloody annoying.
Now it seems more like the way an IM client would function, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense for a webpage. Although I'm in the habit of writing my comments in a text editor and then copy/pasting into the comment field, so to be honest I barely noticed the change.
I like the Facebook feature, why would I want to post before I was sure I've said what I've meant to say? Why would I want it to just post randomly, before I finished my thought?
Hitting Enter used to do a new line (carriage return / line feed) in the comment box, and you clicked the Comment (or whatever it was called) button to post. Now the button is gone, pressing Enter posts the comment, and you need Shift+Enter to get a new line. If you're used to hitting Enter to paragraph, the new function means it's pretty easy to accidentally post something before you're done typing.

Yes ^, this is my main problem with the new function. Of course, it's not going to affect the majority of Facebook users, as most of them rarely post more than 3 or 4 words. But those who actually want to type paragraphs, or quote people, or anything like that, are going to be a little annoyed when they keep accidentally posting part of their full intended comment.

Oh, yeah...that does sound like a bad design flaw. Maybe it has to deal with mobile devices some how?
I just hate the ads on YouTube. Want to watch a 30 second clip from an Adult Swim show? Well enjoy this 40 second advertisement first.
I don't care about the advertisements. They help the website to stay alive, and they help it to make a profit, meaning that there will be a YouTube for a long time to come. And I'd rather a YouTube with ads than no YouTube at all.
Besides, why is everybody so impatient. Of course, none of us want to watch the advertisements, but is it really a big deal? I never understand all of the complaining over the 10-40 second advertisements; it a tiny portion of your overall time on the internet, yet it's complained about so much. Just click onto another web page while you wait, or get up and grab a snack from the fridge; it's not really a huge problem, are we really this impatient?

And there was much rejoicing!
Unfortunately, it's still 'New Coke' for me...
Gahh, why'd they have to change it?!
Go to the very bottom and click "switch to basic version".
Ahhh...thanks for the tip!
I actually went and figured how to do it just for you. Permission to feel special.
(I wasn't asking for permission, I was giving it to you. I ALWAYS feel special :P)
You can now disable the autoplaying videos.

Really? I find it more practical. I can always see where it is instead of looking for it every time I want to change pages.

Facebook lack of submit button ticks me off for posts I accidentally hit enter about a hundred times and make half posts.
Their web layout is an absolute mess.
However the original layout is still available on the canadian website:
