does anyone else like youtubes prank?
but if you dont like the prank here is what you can do

Turn your monitor upside-down
Our internal tests have shown that modern computer monitors give a higher quality picture when flipped upside down—kind of like how it's best to rotate your mattress every six months. You might find that YouTube videos look better this way.

Tilt your head to the side
Imagine you've got water in your ear and need to get it out. Tilt your head toward one shoulder and watch the video (gentle head-smacking on the opposite side is optional).

Move to Australia
As you probably know, everything in Australia is upside-down, so moving to Australia may provide you with a more natural YouTube viewing experience. (Note: If you live Down Under, and the page is still upside-down for you, then we recommended moving to the northern hemisphere.)

I thought this was a pretty funny prank. I bet that they tricked a lot of really old people lmao.

I was playing with it yesterday, Chrome really didn't like the upside down text and a lot of it just appeared as squares.
FYI this is the wrong forum to post in.

I thought it was hilarious, and everyone was freaking out. And all you had to do was click "Click here for the old layout" I found that out in like 2 seconds and a bunch of noobs were whining.
