YouTube Subscription Box

[Breepop]

IS ANNOYING AS SHIRT.

Half the time the Xs don't work, half the time they do, but it doesn't matter because when you refresh the page the videos are back anyway.

And what ever happened to videos being removed from your box once you've watched them? Wtf YouTube!? Do you want me to watch every video 6 times?

What good does the auto play do when you've seen half of the videos there!?

UGH!

Why does it feel like this SHIRT has been broken for like 2 years now? They fix one thing, something else breaks. Geez.



...

hi there. Does anyone else have issues with the YouTube subscription box?

[earth]

yes. absolutely. wow. i thought it was just me. but for me, it doesnt i click refresh and new videos don't come up, they come up waay later. i know this because, for example, dan brown or mgm tweet about a new video that was uploaded, and it shows up in the subscription box hours later. i think you can change the setting so that it removes watched videos.

[Danielle]

I hate it so much. My videos weren't being deleted and now all of my videos were deleted from it, even the ones I didn't watch. I'm angry.

[Breepop]

Oh yeah, SHIRT. I forgot about that. Videos not showing up until hours later has been a problem for ages, though. Still bothers me.

THANKS FOR THE TIP. I found the setting, hopefully that will solve half of my problems.

[Joey]

The only videos that show up for me right away are Ted talks, so I have a FIRST on alot of the new ones. Everything else shows up hours later, and sometimes I can't delete them.

Holy SHIRT yes I hate this. Maintaining the sub box should be the highest priority item for YouTube. Next should be uploading and then viewing. Right now, the X's don't work properly, videos aren't getting published to sub boxes properly and the uploader has random uncontrolled errors and is generally acting funky. To me, the website could look like Geocities if all of the functionality worked. I mean, come on.

Also, if you click the sub tab:



lots of videos will appear in there with little to no correlation with videos that appear in the sub box. And there isn't even a way to quickly and easily remove them from there. Again, come on.

Also, this box appears and disappears at its leisure and it bugs the SHIRT out of me:



I love what YouTube's supposed to be and what it's supposed to do and how it's supposed to look, but seriously... they need to fix their SHIRT before adding new features.

Oh...just WAIT until you guys hear about this. I'm pretty sure YouTube is getting rid of the subscription box eventually for something called "The Feed" (If you've heard about this, I'm sorry).

I went on my account one day and the sub box was GONE. It only had this thing called "The Feed" where you could either see everything (similar to Recent Activity) or just your subscriptions as they were being uploaded. It was SO annoying! I missed half of new uploads because I never saw them come up!!!! It changed back after a few days (THANK GOD) when I switched from IE to Chrome and then logged back in on IE.

[Rob]

I'm pretty sure that when that idea was announced, Tiffany, that people flipped SHIRT and I'm thinking it won't end up happening (provided that this trend recently of YouTube listening to its users continues).

Fingers crossed because the idea is retarded.

[earth]

"the feed"? oh NO! heck even the name is retarded and kinda scary.

The x's work fine for me. The fact that the videos don't disappear from the box after I watch them doesn't bother me either, because sometimes I'll click on a video, and then realize that I don't really want to watch it at that moment, or it's too long for me to watch at that moment, so I can just click out and go back and watch it later.

The autoplay thing pissed me off the most. I learned to turn it off whenever I clicked into a video, and now it's been off pretty much..permanently.

I dunno, I don't currently have too much of a problem with the youtube subscription box. I guess I've just learned to adapt? Haha

[Matthew]

It is bloddy annoying that it never works. Youtube should be fixing broken SHIRT, not adding more of it.

[Ferrrrrre]

yes, it's indeed F*ing annoying...

Also, if I watch a video I constantly switched between the new and old layout and I always have to look, o wait which layout are we now.. hmm.. where's that button again..

BTW what ever happened to the function where you could watch video while search/browse aanother one? that was something I DID like...

[Breepop]

Okay, I've been using the "Exclude videos I've already watched" setting for about a day and a half now. Guess what? It's SHIRT. All of the videos I've watched today are still showing up right now.

[Tiffany]

I've just given up cleaning out my sub box.....it all comes back anyway >_<

[Rob]

I've had that setting on the whole time, even before the layout switch. Lately, it just randomly works. They need to get on fixing it.
