TEXTp

[rtil]

this is actually really cool

go to any youtube video, open up the 360p menu, and select TEXTp. the video turns into color ascii art

Wow that's really awesome

[psi43]

fucking great

[Michelle]

it is

but i really would have preferred the horrible new layout as the joke

[rtil]

haha
only thing i dont like about it is that ratings are hidden until you actually rate a vid. it encourages people to make more shit videos with misleading titles/previews

[shura]

oh this is neat

It's really neat but I don't get how it's an april fool's joke.

the joke is that it will save them bandwidth costs

They just removed it... at least for this timezone... I watched, refreshed and it was gone...
what a shame

[rtil]

adding &textp=fool to the end of any video will let you still use it if you don't have it on the menu

[dilly]

no they removed it just for you

april fool's

Well... They could've left the feature available, just making it impossible to select it from the normal interface, yet leaving the chance to use it by typing the right thing into the browser as you assumed it to be and I wonder why they haven't done so but it looks like they have actually removed the whole thing instead... too bad... this was quite amusing

[W.A.C.]

Too bad it only works on some videos and not all of them. It doesn't work on most of the videos I try to watch.

ahahahah at first when I saw this I thought it was just some kind of javascript error, but I just realized it was something far better


I hope they keep it
