While I love the content on Youtube, I’d like to pay for no ads and I’d like to support the creators, I just can’t bring myself to pay for a service where the UX is so catastrophically bad.
Search is basically non functional at this point.
Video quality has to be adjusted manually for each video to not get pixelated mess.
Even at 1080p the quality is barely better than DVD.
The app caches so little ahead that the slightest network interruption pauses playback.
Forced auto rotation makes you grab the device each time you return from full screen to the video list.
Subtitles have completely gone to shit and it’s wild that in the age of forcing AI on everyone, that auto generated subtitles are still as bad as they are.

To name just a few…
Sorry for the rant
