The app is getting worse and worse to use. They make unnecessary changes to the UI (that are honestly ugly and annoying) and the app often just breaks (i.e: videos having a black screen, shorts not playing in the right order, and other such nonsense things happening.) If YouTube wasn't such a giant in the industry I'd have left at this point. I might just stop using the app if it keeps breaking and getting worse. I pay for YouTube premium and everything

For the past month or so, YouTube has been so laggy that it's basically useless. It doesn't do it to all videos, but it is enough that it makes using it infuriating. I can barely scroll. Comments don't load. Because of the lag, many videos get stuck on ads. Then just this week, the lag is so bad that the app crashes multiple times a day. I've already been using alternate browsers and apps.

Garbage. All these updates and no improvements. Glitches everywhere. Comment box is always hidden at the bottom making it difficult to tap and open. If I do post comments, they constantly keep disappearing for no reason. Ads are extremely intrusive. They are so intrusive that sometimes they cause comments to spontaneously disappear while I'm in the middle of writing them, which is extremely annoying and completely ruins the social aspect. Keeps disconnecting from TV and won't reconnect.
