I guess it&amp;#x27;s one of those &amp;quot;we&amp;#x27;re a big deal site now&amp;quot; checklist items: Fuck up the back button.</text></comment>

They moved the read more button for video descriptions up and to the right directly behind the end of the description text, which makes it almost completely invisible. Even now that i know where to look, it is still very hard to find.
The like button is now only an outline, which is filled when active. I find this confusing, which lead to me unliking and reliking a video because i could not determine the state of the button visually. Was never a problem, back when the thimb turned blue.
 The site is quite sluggish in general, at least for me.&lt;p&gt;Overall YouTube makes for a nice example of how modern design often makes the experience worse</text></comment>
