I needed to get my juices flowing this morning, so I mocked up some YouTube concepts; thought I'd share because I kinda like them! The design is centered around highlighting professional content and pushing purchase/rental content sourced from Google Play.

I added a Podcasts area as its own destination because it really deserves one, as it also helps discoverability.

Speaking of discoverability, I added filters to see what your connections on FB, G+ and Twitter are sharing or watching, as well as the ability to filter new videos by other who live in your city.

The right column is dedicated ad space for premium advertisers.

A YouTube 100 was added as another way to see what's trending acros all categories.

The Users hub at top is where all non-podcast user-generated content will now go. I find it important to keep amateur and professional content easily identifiable through this separation.

I added a Random button near the top left. Part of the fun of YouTube is randomly discovering a great video. Ideally, you could keep clicking the button for hours just trying to find something cool.

The I.D. badge at the top right would contain a menu to access a queue, the user profile, purchase/rental history and the user's personal channel.

There are a number of other noticable changes as well I won't detail, but that's the basic notes I have. What do you think?

    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.

      Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.
    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
