New UI Complaint - Please put stream titles/tags back below the stream capture
Summary: The new UI is a step backward, highly disliked by both streamers and viewers alike because it un-centers the video capture causing you to have to scroll to properly see the video on the page, it squishes the stream titles so you can't even see the full title anymore and if a streamer has tags it just takes up more space making things messy and un centered. Please take the new UI down immediately and revert back to the normal interface or at least make it optional.
It breaks up the "text data blocks" (used to be video-text, now it is text-video-text)
It forces your eye down further on screen, this makes pinned notes/polls/hype trains and such easier to miss (or rather, increases cognitive load to scan for them)
it puts a "moving object" (the stream timer) in a space that usually is static, this just increases cognitive load
It cuts longer stream titles / hides stream tags (unless you actively click the "down arrow")
It causes a huge dead space below the video (to the left of the sub management stuff) that could be better used to increase information density by doing - hear me out - putting the stream title and tags there...
And who thought it was a good idea to have "follow" (now above) and "sub" (still below) on either side of the video instead of next to each other? You even broke up a logical grouping?!
