YouTube recently introduced a two-column view on their mobile website that is so narrow that only the first three words of video titles are readable.

Epic design fail.

Here on my laptop I can't even see the "4 years ago" or things like that, only "1 year ago" and everything else is dots

Youtube has been going to shit ever since Google bought it

And there's so much empty space they could have used to show the full title, too. The two columns don't *need* a huge gap between them.

Youtube UIUX is one of the worst I have ever witnessed.

@electrineer Perhaps it would not have survived without being bought off by a large corporation. It had funding issues prior to acquisition.

But indeed, as history shows, economic incentives are prioritized over users' interests. Google does not just discontinue many services, but also many features within their services.
