YouTube’s latest UI tweak has commenters seeing red

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• YouTube is trying out a new look for the icon you use to submit comments in the mobile app.
• Instead of a black-and-white line drawing of an arrow, YouTube is replacing it with a white arrow in a red circle.

What’s the easiest way to upset YouTube users? That’s simple: change anything at all in the app. OK, maybe we kid a little bit, but if it’s not YouTube users getting upset at age checks, or getting upset at unskippable ads, they’re getting upset about any change to the YouTube interface. It’s enough such that whenever we spot something new in the app, we almost instinctually brace ourselves for the coming pushback. And right now, there’s something new.
