YouTube explains why it keeps changing its interface?

YouTube’s user interface is frequently changed on both its mobile and web versions, something that many users do not particularly like. This raises the question of why YouTube keeps experimenting with its user interface especially since some changes become permanent while others are eventually reversed.

Over the past year alone, more than half a dozen changes have been introduced to YouTube’s interface. YouTube has now explained why it continues to make these changes.

YouTube Vice President Jonathan Tiedrsky discussed the matter in a blog post. He said the reason behind these continuous changes is quite simple.

According to him, the purpose of these changes is to make the video-sharing platform easier to use. He added that YouTube does not want its user interface to become cluttered or confusing which is why the company continues to make adjustments.

The company also explained that some of the recent changes such as redesigning buttons are intended to make them more noticeable and easier for users to identify. According to YouTube, these design improvements are also being extended to larger screens including smart TVs.
