I watch YT on TV g0d d@mn’it!

YT mobile: no complaint.
YT TV: dudes, seriously?!?

- Video titles: not only the full title does not display under the thumbnail when you preselect it (why?), but before one of the recent updates, you could glance at it by long-pressing to display the full (or long enough part) of the title, before deciding to watch or not.
Now: nope. Long press: nope. Click and watch: NOPE, still no full title with the latest layout while playing the video!!! No kidding, I’m watching it but can’t figure out its full title!

- Preview: the former preview feature included an option with or without sound. You preselect a video or hover over its thumbnail, it will show a short loop of its content; I enjoy that without the sound (I disabled this on Netflix) because it makes me feel as in a rush to decide.
Now: preview is with sound; you don’t want the sound, you don’t get the preview. REALLY?!? That is so anti user-friendly that I wonder why YT tries to make people run away.

They say you’re transforming into Tikt°k so you will do everything to scr£w the classic video format enjoyment to drag users to Shorts. Go and dive in a cactus pit and swim until you reach bozo land.

Annoying bugs and design choices.

Why Google can't finally fix saving videos to playlists? It constantly save to the wrong playlist, even after removing the video from playlist sometimes it stays there + the most used button "save" was even moved out of screen after some remix or clip useless buttons which noone uses. Add option to disable sorting playlist be recently used when saving, if someone has many of them it really makes things hard. Similarly, annoying automatic quality "higher picture quality" - 720 or 320p while 1080 or higher is available. Or "jumping" screen on library tab - I want to click on "watch later" playlist, but no, the app displays some spinning wheel at the top so when I click on the playlist it jumps somewhere else on the screen. Why!? Also, when tapping 2 times to skip e.g. 5sec forward or backward, the chapter is changing. Make an option to disable chapter changes with taps completely. This app is a joke.

Update: and now they removed watch later from quick links so I have to scroll every time through 1000 playlists to get to it, why are you making this app worse and worse?

Full of bugs, repetitive ads and poor algorithm

I’ve been using this app for a while now and can confidently say that it’s the worst app on ipad.
I keep encountering various bugs, for example, if I watch a video on full screen, after a mid-roll ad the video will automatically exit the full screen mode. Or, when watching streams, if I change the ipad’s orientation, the comment bar in the chat will all of sudden get blocked such that I can no longer tap it to write messages.
The ads are also a huge problem - not only the amount is absurd but their distribution as well. If you want to skip the video ahead, you WILL get a new ad, even if you just watched one. The ads play anytime you reopen the app, even if you return to a video you have watched half-way through. The app crashes quite often so the amount of ads just multiply beyond reason.
The algorithm also doesn’t make sense. I keep getting recommended videos that I’ve already watched, or made by people that I have already marked as “don’t recommend”.
Overall, no other app has ever made me as frustrated.
