Q: Will YouTube ever get better?
A: Personally, no. They have been changing their site every year, and this year in my opinion, is the worst.
Q: Had you tried asking YouTube to reconsider their changes?
A: No, not yet.
Q: Should I start a YouTube channel even if the site has fallen from grace?
A: I am not against it at all. Just be careful. (And talk to a person your own age.)
