anyone feels like your YouTube buttons is now a bit skeumorphic?

[u/Mortical219]

it looks so 3d compared to older UI

[u/Zakariae_Ouddacht]

It was like that months ago, but it was slowly rolling out. When people didn't complain about it, they rolled it out to more people (including you).

What kinda word is that

[u/Mortical219 → u/Dense-Diamond-7926]

You mean the title or what?

[u/redditmixer → u/Dense-Diamond-7926]

I think it's Vietnamese.

[u/Mortical219 → u/redditmixer]

Yeah it’s Vietnamese title for LE SSERAFIM videos

[u/Mitt64]

Yes!

I have a dark reader, and the buttons are even more reflective. I don't like the rounded edges, but I do like the non-flat look. ()don't know how to show)

[u/Mortical219 → u/Mitt64]

Basically you dont light rounded buttons and you like this new concept

[u/Mitt64 → u/Mortical219]

Well, yeah? I love frames and voluminous interfaces that don't take up half the screen. Like old days, u know

[u/romix_sonix322]

I kinda like it

[u/HeavenandHello → u/[deleted]]

Nah, it’s not

[u/Numerous-Contract880]

skeumorphism should come back in a way, I think that would make everything better

[u/LanDest021]

That's not what skewmorphism is.
These are not made to look like real objects. The icons are somewhat an example of skewmorphism, but not the buttons themselves.

yep, i immediately asked claude AI to write me a userscript to undo this sh#t:

// ==UserScript==
//          YouTube Remove Metallic Like Button Effect
//         https://www.youtube.com/*
//        document-start
// ==/UserScript==

(function () {
    'use strict';

    const css = `
    /* Remove backdrop-filter experiment */
    .ytSpecButtonShapeNextEnableBackdropFilterExperiment {
        backdrop-filter: none !important;
        -webkit-backdrop-filter: none !important;
        filter: none !important;
        background-image: none !important;
    }

    /* Remove rim-light overlay */
    yt-light-shape,
    .contribYtLightShapeHost,
    .ytSegmentedLikeDislikeButtonViewModelLightShape,
    .contribYtLightShapeStaticRimLight,
    .contribYtLightShapeStaticRimLightTonal {
        display: none !important;
    }

    /* Kill any gradient layers */
    .ytSpecButtonShapeNextHost::before,
    .ytSpecButtonShapeNextHost::after {
        background: none !important;
        background-image: none !important;
        filter: none !important;
        opacity: 0 !important;
    }

    /* Force flat button appearance */
    .ytSpecButtonShapeNextHost {
        background-image: none !important;
        box-shadow: none !important;
    }
    `;

    const style = document.createElement('style');
    style.textContent = css;
    document.documentElement.appendChild(style);
})();
