Verge maps new homepage feedback into fix, explore, and pause buckets

The Verge explains that reader feedback on the new homepage is grouped into three buckets: Bucket 1 (fixes) for bugs and rough edges that have been addressed (e.g., scrollbar, Read More links, bottom-category reads); Bucket 2 (worth investigating) for ongoing questions like how the Latest feed is presented, dark mode, story dates in curated sets, marking read/unread, and personalization; and Bucket 3 (not right now) for ideas not currently being pursued, such as Free-to-Read/Subscriber Perks and major structural changes. They emphasize transparency, limited resources, and prioritization, and invite further feedback via comments, a feedback form, user research, or direct emails.

Emotional factors like stress were not significant predictors of feedback-seeking behavior, emphasizing the importance of feedback strategies in education and other learning environments.

"YouTube's Hated New Design: A Desktop Makeover You'll Instantly Dislike"

YouTube is testing a new UI design that moves the video title, description, and comments to a right side panel, with video recommendations appearing below the video player.

YouTube has confirmed that it's an experiment to improve features and experiences, and is seeking user feedback to determine if, when, and how to release the feature.
