YouTube Is Changing, Yes Alot!

Google's big hand, YouTube is now at the edge of some big changes that would prove to be stated as 'Less Annoying' and 'More Intelligent'. The app's design is also the section which is now updated with some minor but improved changes that users might have been waiting for.

Its for both iOS and Android that will rollout soon to everyone, not sure with server side or an specific update. Design changes have given the idea with the image above that Home tab will include much bigger thumbnails than before plus some minor icon changes, while the overall design is not much changed but some changes are always welcomed. Not only this, there's another 'More Intelligent' thing happening to YouTube that is the recommendation system, it is now more intelligent than before and is based on deep neural network technology that means now users will get recommendation from there area of interests only. It means that if a user is majorly watching videos for example about Cricket, recommendations will throw cricket videos for user.

Now the thing is 'Less Annoying'

From May the ads on YouTube videos are going to change alot

Google is introducing a new ad format that is dubbed as 'Bumper' which is 6 seconds ads that won't be long as the current ads that lasts 15-20 seconds, Yes some of them gets skipped but the newer ads now could not be skipped because the time has been reduced to 6 seconds, Does it means these are less annoying, well this can be said later once it gets live with users and the reactions to it are awaited. These ads will be arriving in May and Google is hoping that it will make ad makers to build more creative short ads to explain whatever it takes in this short span.
