Remember when YouTube had stars instead of likes? 💫
- back when u could see exact star ratings, when annotations were everywhere, when the watch page had that satisfying dark blue sidebar. when comments actually loaded properly without needing to click "load more" 47 times
- the old layout just felt like HOME. like settling in after school with some doritos and watching your favorite let's player rage quit at a horror game
- who else misses the 2012-2015 era the most. or are u guys more 2008-2011 purists. i need to know
- bring back the stars, bring back the annotations, bring back the old buffering symbol. we deserve it
