A few days ago I was using a app I wrote to open YouTube pages for Woodwork,News & other sites
It started showing the thumbnails much larger and only 3 across with a lot of other format changes.
I thought I had a code error which seemed impossible as I have been using the app for more than a year.
It seems Google decided to change the thumbnail from 4 across and smaller thumbnails to
3 across and very large thumbnails. OK Why care your not in charge and don't have a YouTube channel get over it!
Someone please tell me I am wrong but wouldn't lager thumbnails require more time to load and use more resource on either end?
They also removed the "Watch Later" option
I saw no complaints by Content Creators like NBC or PBS could care
Also no Woodworking Channels made any mention. Guess too scared of being kicked off YouTube!
Google also closed the YouTube Feedback page about Experiments not really novel
If you know people will be unHAPPY and complain just become deft

Hey, it's their site - they can change it as they like.
If you scrape a site, it's at your own risk - the site owner isn't obliged to support you, help you, or keep things the same to be convenient to you! Instead, use the YouTube Data API | Google for Developers[^] - that way you should (and probably do) get a consistent, stable way to access content data without having to scrape the site.
You should notice that YouTube does change the site quite often, both visibly and "behind the scenes" at least in part to bugger with the "against the terms and conditions" coders who intercept the stream and thus permit downloads (which the T&Cs specifically forbid).

NO Site Scraping I just save a link URL in SQLite DB
and open the site
I tried to write a NET version where I would get notified when a new
video was uploaded Way over my programming ability
This database tells me last time I visited the site
after a while you get on to the rhythm creators post new stuff
Thanks for the API link need to take a look
YES it is their site but I would have thought larger thumbnails
would be less desirable in terms of time to load and storage
but I guess they only permit certain size thumbnails and making
it larger is not really a issue
|
|

As far as I know, the thumbnails could be uploaded by Youtuber. Youtube gives content creators the option to upload their thumbnails. I know because I upload videos and thumbnails onto my Youtube channel. This is why some video's thumbnail is misleading and baits the viewer into viewing the video for the juicy content shown on the thumbnail but is not found in the entire video.
|
|
|
|

You are correct the Channel Owner uploads the Thumbnail BUT
in this case all 400 Channels I have links for in my little app
that stores the URL to the Channel when used to connect to the
Channel YouTube was changing the Video Page Format
I doubt the Channel Owners were making the change
This experiment only lasted 4 to 5 days and the format was changed back
so I doubt some Content Creators even noticed
The issue got a little traction on Redit
I do not mind change if it is for the better in this case I did not see
any advantage for the end user or the content creator
Side note to see current thumbnails you needed to click to scroll right
for more content The mosaic layout of thumbnails IMHO is the more friendly UI
Thanks for your reply

Just a random thought but I suspect it is likely that users of youtube now have faster internet and better devices than they did 10 years ago. So increasing the size for aesthetics versus performance might be why.
And then why not keep it? Maybe they were collecting performance and/or click through stats for a test. Now the test is done.

I have little doubt about this
Quote: Maybe they were collecting performance and/or click through stats for a test
I have noticed Content Creators are continually asking you to stick around till the end of the video.
Some and very few complain about the antilogarithm being unfair to new channels at least in the
Woodworking community. Some promote other new creators on their channels which I find admirable.
In the woodworking genre it started with teaching and sharing how to advice.
Some have moved to constant tool reviews and buy my plans and visit my Amazon affiliate link.
That is OK but not what the novice table saw owner/builder needs. Why & How often omitted so buy my plans
Guess that is why we have Woodworking Schools ?
Here is a guy building a Armoire we are up to 11 video's he explains every cut and design reason.

Also why he is using clamps that are $48.00 each
Real dedication to the novice viewer
Thanks for the comment and your point of view

Many games have a "fog of war" and thought mine should too. It seems so obvious: blacken the screen (somehow). While I came up with a plan I decided to let (Bing) AI have a go:
Quote: Here are some ways to implement fog of war in a game:
Create a layer for the fog of war and cache a version of the world map (or sections) image(s) with a black+alpha rectangle applied to it. You can also apply a blur filter in this stage.
Use a tablet or laptop for each player, which tracks which parts of a common map the player uncovers.
Use a set of color-coded flip tokens with abstract symbols. Every area of the game board gets one token per player.
(That's what I thought.)
Instead, in the frame update cycle, when I look at each control, I vary their opacity based on the vicinity of foes and limits of sight (distance and contour) and which team is currently active (selected POV).
About 20 minutes to implement using my existing targeting routine, and looks amazingly well as troops "come into view".
You suddenly realize you have a functional framework.

What is your game? Is it available somewhere that we can see it?
What kind of game is it? War simulation, I'm guessing.

It's a UWP implementation of the rules of Kriegsspiel (1824-1882). I plan to release it in the Windows Store. It's a question of where to stop. It's a simulator; teaching tool (strategy; tactics; evolutions); a war "game"; etc. Looking to add Bluetooth multi-player.
