Over the years, the YouTube layout has changed a lot.

When you compare YouTube today and the YouTube from the old days, you can really see a big difference.

As the platform evolved, from year to year we would see a variety of new features, options and policies.

But we would also witness many features disappear!

YouTube has no trouble getting rid of features and options they feel are no longer needed, and next on the list will be their inbuilt video editor as well as Photo Slideshows which will soon join other discontinued features like branding intros, video responses, annotations, groups, honors...

So in this video, we'll take a quick trip down YouTube's memory lane.

funny thing everyoner misse them all yet still refuses to leave YT

@SonicJrandSarah

Uh, those features are still here. At least, for me they are.

@Ian-fw2fp

oh if only you knew how bad it'd get

@Jugdjay

One thing they've removed several years ago was the Community Contributions. I was mad when they removed this because it made subtitles much easier to do. And if you didn't want it on your channel you could just disable it.

@CTGLite_Studios

They Really Need To Bring All of Those Features Back Because YouTube Has Become A Greedy Oversimplifed NFT Filled Mess Across The World!

@Tark_

Nobody remembers this but you were able to automatically add recently uploaded Videos of a Channel to a Playlist

@SonicJrandSarah

Uh, those features are still here. At least, for me they are.

@TyrellWhitney-h3x

What's funny is that they barely even add any new features. They just keep removing the old ones. They also got rid off the "Sort by oldest" option for no reason, as well as the dislike counter.

@Faerûn4

because youtube is a trash website with a stupid staff. i only use it because there's no true competition to it as every other service is either trashier or not good enough YouTube has been removing features from the website a lot of times. Dislike button count removed, sort by oldest removed, export playlists removed, disable subs count removed They're stupid, they can't help it.

@UnderscoreAngel

most people would look at this video and probably think that most of the features are long gone, and for the majority of them, that's unfortunately the case, however there are several addons to restore these features, here is a list of them. *Return YouTube Dislike - Restores the dislike button count *Annotations Restored for YouTube - Restores old annotations *CustomTube/YouTube Redux - Restore the old YouTube layout *YouTube Star Rating - Restores the old YouTube star rating in userstylesdotworld there is an userstyle called "2012 HTML5 Player by tersiswilvin" that restores the old player there are several projects like Rehike, 7ktTube and Cosmic Cat that restores old YouTube and finally there is a whole subreddit dedicated to old YouTube called "r/oldyoutubelayout"

@SonicJrandSarah

Uh, those features are still here. At least, for me they are.

@Manday

And now they removed community caption and dislike button. These features are so important.

@SonicJrandSarah

@kayc_x3

The internet used to be so much more fun. There’s no where for people to customize their pages anymore, it seems. Except tumblr

@AkkarisFox

YouTube feed segmentation is the feature we almost had and now we have to have everything in one place

@Reddressblckfmnn

I remember when youtube video you can save it to your gallery

@TheEvilChocolateCookie

Honorable mention, human rule violation reviewers. Now they use bots that target people who never even consider breaking rules while the people who do break the rules get away with murder.

@Grobir

That, as you could see on everyone's channel, tabs Subscribers and also Subscriptions (Being able to see everyone) were something. It was also cool to send private messages to recommend something to someone, and tab discussions (formerly comments).

@sfreak451

The one thing i miss the most would be the option to directly message another user.

@SonicJrandSarah

Before groups were taken away, there was a bug in the Members Approval Section where it would just load and load and load and it never finished loading. Unlike most bugs, which wen away after a few days, this bug stayed in place for three months before YouTube announced they were taking groups away. I don't know if they knew about the bug despite the numerous users telling YouTube about it or if YouTube ever even tried fixing the bug, but were unable to for three months. It is just hard to know if it was a matter of "They can't fix it" or "They won't fix it".

@VincentKelly

Let's pray and hope and wish that All of These Features return at maybe or some point or in the near future or in the future or in the near far future or in the far future or someday. Maybe...Maybe or some point or in the near future or in the future or in the near far future or in the far future or someday The Stars will align and shine beautifully brightly.
