I mean, I constantly find amazing videos having down votes, so I don't really expect anything different from youtube community. It seems like they always looking for things to hate and it gives them a pleasure.
In this case, it's less about the logo itself and more about what youtube is doing lately. People hate changes. It's moving them a bit out of their comfort zone. Even a small tweak to the old logo will result in similar reaction IMHO
Exactly, when your site gets 30 million views a day, if 1% of people don't like what they see, which they wont because people have different tastes, theres still going to be a lot of unhappy people.
People hate everything
