Used to be so good; quality has gone down

I love yt and have been using it for years, but over the past couple of months, a lot of newer problems have occurred, and preexisting problems that have gotten worse. 1. The things that get flagged. There are plenty of inappropriate things getting posted on yt and in general most are ignored by the algorithm and continue staying up, yet other things that are getting taken down despite there not being any real problems with it. 2. The ads Yt recently started putting up a lot more ads, which is annoying, not to mention pushing yt premium way more, but the most annoying part is at the end of the video an ad will play, and when you’re in full screen you may not be able to tell, meaning you might be watching an ad for literally no reason. 3. The updates. To be honest the updates don’t really seem to be doing anything other than changing the format, which has been getting consistently more annoying, especially as recently they moved where the x button on miniplayer is, which has become severely annoying as I’m used to clicking at the bottom, which means I have clicked a video I don’t want to watch multiple times because this. It’s really only a problem because I don’t really see the point of moving it. In general I still love using yt but I definitely don’t love it as much as I used to.

The new features aren’t great

The way the layout of the video controls and settings has been completely rearranged and changed is either annoying, pointless, or just makes the user interface worse altogether. Every time I double tap to skip ahead or go back, the pause symbol stays on my screen unless I tap the screen to bring up the video captions and time bar then tap it again to make them go away. I’ve also had the time bar just stay on the screen no matter what I tried to do unless I just closed the app. Not having the button to switch from full screen to thumbnail view in the bottom right corner, or at least be able to customize if you want to accommodate left handed users, is very annoying because it’s now on the farthest corner away from where my thumb can most easily reach it. I’ve also constantly had videos randomly pause on me for no reason with nothing touching the screen. These changes and glitches have really made the experience of using this app over the past few weeks very annoying compared to the previous interface beyond just struggling to get used to a new layout

New UI is worse, still buggy on iPad

I’ve used the YT app on both my iPhone and iPad for years and I didn’t start noticing a decline in quality between devices until this year. Removing the decline button and streamlining the UI was a mistake. Algorithm is worse too; I need to search for creators I like instead of being recommended similar videos. Despite notifications being on, I’m not notified half the time a creator I follow posts something. Seems like YT is shadow banning certain content they disagree with. Also, the app on iPad has so many more bugs than it used to in my experience. The amount of times the app freezes when I tap to open a video, have unsynced audio, or the drag down feature to swipe out of a video not working is ridiculous. The saved playlist pop up is so wacky on iPad, if you have multiple playlists saved like I do, it takes up so much space on the screen and unlike on desktop and iPhone YT, there’s no “done” button at the bottom to take you out of the dialogue box—you need to tap somewhere randomly on the screen to close the window. I’m probably using YT on my iPad 10-15 hours per week and I need to restart the app 2-3 times or more every week to fix a bug. I simply don’t encounter these bugs on the YT app on my phone nor on desktop.
