Ratings and reviews

So many ads. All the time. Everywhere. So many. I can't watch a ten minute video without three sets of ads. 2 15 second unskippable ads in a row and then a few minutes later there's more. The ads have become so insufferable that I'd rather use other platforms. So disappointed in the devolution of YouTube. $16/month for YouTube premium is absolutely ludicrous.

YouTube was working fine until recently. A few days ago, problems started on both, Android and Apple. It's absolutely impossible to open posts or pictures in channels. Any navigation in the app doesn't work after the video on top of other apps. Comments under the video don't open by clicking on the first randomly visible post, as it was before, now you need to click on the word "comments". I would like to ask for solving the problems

It was never that good, but it wasn't that bad either, until recently. The video screen gets very dark on mobile for no reason, and clearing the cache, enabling or disabling the image thingy mode. Even changing the device's theme from light to dark doesn't fix it. the only way is by closing and reopening the app. Fix this or I'm canceling my Premium subscription. I shouldn't have to keep looking for solutions for something I pay for, and it wasn't like this in the previous version.
