i like the new layout, it feels more in line with what youtube is like on a phone. seems like it'll be easier to scroll through comments while watching a video, as well as easier to ignore suggested videos until the content your watching is done. Then once the video is over, it'll be easier to see a lot of videos at once, increasing the speed at which you'll find something else you're interested in. I'm not seeing any real downsides here, can someone help me understand ways this is worse? feels weird seeing all this hate and not getting it.

I agree with you, it's probably just most people are really used to the old layout and don't want to change

In theater mode the comments are so small it's like YouTube wanted to kill the comments section without outright getting rid of them.

Literally I will now open my phone if I want to leave a comment, because using a tiny strip on the side of my screen is absolutely stupid.
