Really? I see that as rather annoying, actually. I much preferred the ratings. The ratings seemed slightly more inclined to pinpoint how good or how bad something was rather than just a flat out "good" or "bad." And also, the new layout for comments is just a wreck. Just an ugly, useless wreck that's nigh impossible to piece together.

AND WHY DOES YOUTUBE FRIENDS STILL EXIST?! IT SERVES NO PURPOSE!

Let's face it. Most people on youtube are opinionated. The vast majority of people give videos 1 or 5 star ratings. Being able to see the exact breakdown of how many liked it and how many didn't is far more useful to me than the older system. Also, I thought youtube comments were always impossible to piece together.
