Old YouTube UI

YouTube New UI

Currently, this update is not rolled out for all users or browsers, I am seeing this update on my channel "The Tech Trackers" If you are getting this update on your browser do let us know in the comment section.

My thoughts on this new update as follows:

I didn't like this new update because in the old version there subscribe button was on the right side here it's on the left side.

From a conversion point of view, The standard location for a CTA is on the right-hand side of the page above the fold. It has been proven that CTAs on the right side of the page receive more clicks than those on the left.

So here YouTube Put subscribe on the left side which might reduce the subscriber rate for creators.

The second thing I didn't like about this update is here, the Video Description section which was beside the subscribe button, here it is now above the subscribe and comment section, and that too not visible properly.

Also here, if you click on to see more links in the description section your whole subscribe and comment bar goes down, far down from users reach which means this will again hamper your subscription rate.
