Web - 4 - YouTube Home

Yes YouTube a website that almost everyone that has ever been in the presence of a computer know. Also a site that is infamous for changing it's design just as soon as people stop complaining about the last change. I'd like to focus one YouTube's home page for this blog.

The first thing that is a little off putting is the fact that everything is left aligned. Now as someone who is working at a resolution of 1366x768 this isn't a huge deal for me, but with YouTube branching towards professional content creators also known as partners who will have better hardware this look ugly once you open the page full screen.

The left sidebar is something that's a bit dated, but with the sheer amount of content that this website has it's understandable.

There is however a complete lack of organization in the video tiles below the search bar and header area. Video tiles are crammed together without any rhyme or reason and while some are categorized others are related to channels based on the search history of the individual user. There needs to be more organization here. One or two featured videos up top, four tiles of one category under it following suit through each category and possibly even recommendations directly under the two featured videos following the four tile wide pattern.

Now many people don't look at this particular home page for more than a moment, but it's probably because it looks like a jumble of nonsense and popular garbage.
