Why Does YouTube Have To Make It So Hard?

5. YouTube has been making some terrible decisions lately. Like getting rid of their old smaller default screen and

defaulting to a screen as large as "theater mode" - which makes any video not in HD look like fuzzy crap. This year, those geniuses decided to get rid of the ability to sort videos by upload date - now the search results are totally driven by their algorithm - which results in videos posted by small channels (such as a user posting only one video) getting buried far down in the search results. I liked the ability to sort by upload date - I'd do a search on a particular subject and could immediately see the new videos that I hadn't seen before at the very top - now you have to go through a bunch of older videos to find that new hidden gem.
