    We come to YouTube not just because we want to watch videos but also to interact, to be able to commend the author of the video and have him or her reply. You can't do that very easily with a television or phone! Also I like to watch TV whilst I am on YouTube, please don't take away 5o percent of my pleasure!

    For a start I rekon that YouTube will actually load properly when it's got a bit of load (guys, you really need to look at putting it on something like S3)

    What do I see in Youtube's Future?

    I don't see a "Youtube" in the future because you have made that much bad choices since being brought by google, your site will possibly go down.

    Maybe if you started introducing something that is considered "good" by the comunity then my opinion's might change. If these changes that your planning to implement are bad (Which is more than likely going to be the case) then you will lose more users, so what I suggest is that you let some of the Youtube comunity take part in the planning and ideas stage, as it seems that most of the changes you have made so far have been based on statistics provided by google, and not the Youtube comunity.

    You stop making changes. Seriously, I think the best things of Youtube are ones that are already there, not things that aren't broken to be redesigned badly.

    start listening to users and stop forcing changes and implying restrictions just because you,google and the film studios want you to.
    I would much rather have youtube as it was in 2006 than what it is now

    The reason I come to Youtube is to take a 'break' and see some excellent content!

    The future could hold many new changes because that's the way technology works! I'm thinking we'll be watching much higher definition on newer TVs and it the line between Youtube and Television will be blurred. Maybe we'll be hosting our own TV channels... Who knows

    No wonder Youtube's been managed so badly. You have to storyboard ideas for your staff, as if they're hyperactive 5-year olds. I mean, seriously? That's what you do, rather than thinking logically about the issue? Wow.

    The Youtube of the future will be an advertising platform for Disney, WMG, Viacom and all the companies with cash. Being a partner is mandatory - no free acounts. Channels are of Myspace quality, as in "a chimpanzee on Microsoft Word could do better" quality. All the original users will have been pushed off as accounts are banned and people leave due to the draconian copyright laws. Other sites such as Viddler will flourish due to their freedom and superior usability, and unable to compete, Yotube will wither and die.

    Storyboard THAT for your team. Maybe they'll get the hint, if it isn't nap-time yet.

    I hope to see the old channel design in the future, but I guess thats not going to happen seeing as you idiots in charge of this website don't give a toss what we, the people who use the site, think.

    As for most kids TV is a thing of the past. Mine and all of their friends spend every minute they have in social networking sites passing links to each other of videos they have discovered online.

    The problem I notice is that finding a video to watch relies heavily on the tags and titles that people use, if this is done correctly then ok, but if it is not then the video can be brilliant but seems to sit out their like a needle in a haystack.

    Maybe by using the ratings feature and hits counter, software could be put in place to monitor the effect of the video, or perhaps a tab where people could nominate the video to actually be found easier under certain search terms as well as if it should actually get more coverage in the field it was designed for ...

    Personally in years to come I think film shooting will be done by cameras not just facing forward but picking up 190 degree vision all round, this will then be watched in the same way as we watch them today but with the aid of some kind of projector built into the screen this will project a 3d screen around the viewers and you will actually feel like you are in the film set, something falling for example will be picked up by your 180 degree vision and the naturally response will be to duck.

    Still one thing is for sure, technology is evolving at a incredible rate of knots, 50 years ago the cars on this planet were almost funny to look at, imagine if you could take a Ferrari and transport it back to this era?

    Just my 2 pence’s worth anyway :)

    Cool to see you guys are thinking of how to innovate, considering you are so far ahead of your competition at the moment.

    Looks like augmented reality is going to be the big growth area in video interaction over the next decade..do you have any plans to get involved?

    Youtube, at least have to decency to listen to the comunity before you implement any changes.

    all the changes are crap, honestly Youtube grow a pair and stop being bullied into doing things by google, you should stand on your own 2 feet.

    I don't know but I hope that I will be there. Maybe with TV companies struggling for viewers, especially from younger age groups as a result of the growth of sites like YT, maybe a company might devote a channel to YT videos and user content.

    I totally agree with your vision of the future YouTube experience. Interactive elements like real-time polls and discussions could transform how we engage with content. It reminds me of a movie app I recently discovered, "ios apk download for Android," which offers interactive movie-watching features. Bringing this concept to YouTube could foster a stronger sense of community and make video-watching even more enjoyable. What are your thoughts on implementing such features?

    Interesting topic! It’s cool to see YouTube thinking ahead about how video consumption might evolve. A few years from now, I could see AI playing a much bigger role—personalized content feeds that adapt in real-time, interactive videos where viewers influence the outcome, or even VR/AR integration becoming mainstream.

    As for suggestions, I’ve seen a lot of people asking for better discovery tools, less intrusive ads, and maybe even niche features like collaborative watch parties with creators. And since you mentioned Taco Bell’s Lava Menu —imagine if YouTube had something similar, like limited-time "throwback" themes or exclusive content drops that create hype.

    Would love to hear more about how YouTube plans to balance innovation with keeping the platform user-friendly. What’s the top priority—immersion, accessibility, or something else entirely?

    The future of YouTube is a fascinating topic. As technology evolves, so will the way we experience video content. In a few years, we might see AI-generated personalized shows, fully immersive 3D viewing, or even real-time interaction with creators through augmented reality. The lines between viewer and creator could blur even further.

    YouTube could become a hub where education, entertainment, and even gaming blend seamlessly. Imagine tutorials that adapt to your learning speed, live concerts with selectable camera angles, or community-driven storylines that let viewers influence what happens next.

    Monetization will likely shift too—more tools for creators to earn directly from fans, new forms of digital goods, and better ways to support long-form or niche content.

    As we look toward the future, it's also important to keep accessibility and inclusion at the forefront—so that every viewer, regardless of background or ability, can benefit from these innovations.

    By the way, if you're into gaming and future experiences, many suggestions around immersive content remind me of how people explore and share their builds or mods—just like when searching for something like Minecraft Download APK . It's all about creativity, community, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

    What are your thoughts on what the YouTube of the future should look like?

    It's exciting to imagine how video platforms will evolve—interactivity, personalization, and instant access are clearly where things are headed. Just like how apps such as Loklok are changing the way we watch by offering fast, easy streaming on the go, the future of YouTube might follow suit with more seamless, social, and immersive features. Check out how viewing is already shifting with Loklok download and imagine what comes next!
