I have premium account, paid for it just to have the app won't load anything at all. Checked my connection, restarted my phone, updated the app, then deleted it to reinstall again, to no avail. still nothing loaded in my app for me. First time happening since years of watching but still so annoying. Can't watch anything at all. Not even ads.

app ALWAYS start with shorts vertical video automatically played. plus the amount and variation of the ads is disgusting (now it's rare to see a single ads but when i do, it would be unskipable one. otherwise it would be double or triple ads. and the length of one ads sometime is very stupid for anyone who says that is an ads. an ads that going for more than 5 minutes? coupled with double or triple? the video that i watch could be a fraction of it).annoying. i wish i can give zero star instead.

The application is finally bad, lots of bugs, it can't be opened even though I'm sure my internet connection is good and I've checked it many times on other applications then back to yt but the results are still the same. I've tried updating, even uninstalling it still works badly, can't be used!!!! Bad experience so far
