It’s a weird contradiction with the internet. The online world is supposed to be dynamic, constantly changing, open to new ideas. Yet every time something moves forward, there seems to be an outcry. That’s what’s happened with YouTube.
The site has introduced widescreen, high-definition (HD) video playback. For fans of numbers with an x in the middle, it means users can now view video in 1280 x 720 resolution. Previously the maximum pixel count was 480 x 360.
I am not sure why everyone is complaining. The new player does not affect the way you watch youtube content as the only difference are the black bars, which are not that much of an annoyance. Many of the youtube elitists are acting as if the world has ended.
All youtube are doing is trying to expand their market share of the online video streaming market, which has become flooded with many different portals that allow you to do more with your video content.
Although, it is a shame that youtube didn’t include an option to revert back to a smaller player based on the video contents aspect ratio, it is not the end of the world people – get over yourselves.
