Can we have the old layout back please?
The new layout is horrible, its cluttered and messy and way too confusing.
Can we have the old layout back, I spent ages putting everything in my panels, it was nice and neat and well organised. Why can't I turn off the trailer thing? I have no desire and no idea how to make a channel trailer. It was perfectly fine, I do not understand why you would change it, and I don't see how anyone could think the new layout is better or easier to navigate. To be honest it puts me off, if I went to an offline channel I would not know where to look. It is awful.

Adding to this - the way the new channel layout handles the header graphic is abhorrent. The video display at the top of the channel page is redundant to the content almost directly below it and only serves to obscure the streamers' graphic at the top. The manner in which these video divs shift around and how the header graphic resizes in the background makes it impossible to design an image that allows us to brand ourselves without being covered up by unnecessary content boxes.
The amount of redundant content boxes is pretty ridiculous. The about tab has an "about me" box that contains the avatar and follower count mere pixels from the avatar and follower count displayed directly below the header. It makes no sense whatsoever for it to be displayed this way...
The accent strip to the right of the main body of content is also weird and off-putting. Since this must be a flat color, it often results in colors that are too bright relative to the body of the page and it forces creators to be intentional in designing their branding graphic at the top so that it doesn't clash or stand out oddly.
Overall, the new channel page has some abundantly bizarre design decisions that blatantly disregard the brand, identity, and content of the creators they are supposed to be serving. In the very, very least - revamp the header so that brand graphics aren't utterly pointless.

Agreed, this is terrible. Even the design itself is just terrible UI/UX design. Does twitch not have any experienced designers working behind this?
Border on 1 side only? So if you have a banner image then it looks incredibly stupid where the meeting point of the content section, side tab and image.
Terrible, terrible design. I don't know who tested this, but I can't find anyone who likes this.

I 100% agree, and cannot find a single streamer that likes this new update. I can, however, find a million and one people that hate that their hard work and artwork was ruined by a forced site wide upgrade no one appreciates. Please AT LEAST have some sort of "Legacy" or "Classic" button to return the layout to its previous form. Thank you. <3
