Any other Youtubers not liking the new Youtube channel design?

[Midknight]

When Youtube first updated the channels a few months ago, I quickly changed mine back to the old design because I feel it allows one to customize their channel more. The new channel design is just broign gray. Does anyone know of a way to add a background to it? The old channels also gave the viewer more information without having to click on different screens to find what they want to see. Now they have the channel seperated into 3 seperate parts. Why would youtube make this change? I LIKED the old channel design!

Come to find out today, the new channel design will be enforced on all Youtube channels as of March 1st.

I prefer the old design as well, the new design is just dumb, where did you read the new style will be enforced mandatory on march 1st?

I hate the new format. Tried it and immediately switched it back. I hope it's not mandatory, it makes the channel homepages look so blahhhh.

Don't like it. The old design was better.
my channel is; curtism4 . I put a bunch of silver coins in the background and with the new design they can't be seen as well.

I think they're making it mandatory.

I'm keeping mine the way it is until they change it in March.

Both YouTube and Gmail have recently pushed through permanent changes that seem to decrease functionality and simplicity. Dislike.
