Why cant you leave well enough alone? Every so often an update comes along and changes the interface. As if it isnt bad enough that I have to relearn how to use the app, you always break something at the same time. I cant turn autoplay off anymore. It says it is off the the next video starts up anyway. Further, I dont want the next/last video when I swipe, I want to exit full screen. Edit: Half the time, full screen is just black, no video.

I loved YouTube, I bought premium, Now YouTube buffers endlessly after every video, or when the screen is off for longer than 7 minutes (I timed it an it's consistent), and now my whole playlist is wiped. Only way to fix it is to clear my data but even then the playlist I made is gone forever. It's pretty much unusable and will definitely cancel if this persists. Make it make sense on how you treat PAYING CUSTOMERS like this. I had a better experience with ads. It's a complete waste of money rn.

The new mini player is the worst thing they've changed. It was fine the way it was where I could just swipe down, and it SIMPLY GOES to mini player mode, then when I SWIPE BACK UP, IT GOES BACK TO A FULL SIZED PLAYER. This new one jumps all over the place when I swipe down; it jumps from the top left corner of the screen, top right, bottom left or bottom right. Worst of all, I can't swipe it down to make it go away, I have to tap the X button to make it stop playing the video! Worst update ever!
