Ratings and reviews

Used to LOVE YT, but it's not the same anymore. Now we're bombarded with adds which are getting longer and have become unskippable. Also, if you use fullscreen on the mobile app, you can no longer use the red bar at the bottom to navigate the video. Now, the bar gets blocked by suggested videos, which is completely unnecessary. There's AI slop everywhere, and I randomly get subscribed to channels when I didn't subscribe myself. Think I need to find an alternative to YT

The ads on this app are ridiculous! At first I ignored them, but now there are even more, including unskippable ads that last 30+ seconds. On top of that, I've seen YouTubers get flagged for random reasons or videos made years ago. When they appeal, an AI reviews it and often gets it wrong. People say, "Just get Premium if you don't want ads," but not everyone can afford that. There's a lot more I could complain about, but I'm running out of space.

Those who complain about too many ads, they won't go away nor reduce. It's YouTube's way of encouraging you to subscribe. I also had to subscribe to premium. Its good. I love the music app too. I will rate 5 only if you can add notifications button on TV app. Just like mobile app. In that way it will be easy to access new videos daily. With TV its frustrating to get those new videos that are released daily by YouTube channels I subscribed to.
