Ratings and reviews

Have gone from commercials between to also commercials ON the video you are trying to watch!!! Also, when you are going through your subscribed videos, it constantly jumps back to the top when you exit the video. This does not happen on the TV version. So annoying! These are still issues! Ads are getting worse again.

Idk if it's just me, but for a year now, YT has been glitching, and it's not my internet. Also, the ads are pretty annoying. Some things are pretty questionable and inappropriate, but mostly okay. Also, if I click on shorts one video pops up, and the rest are all previous ones I've watched. That can be pretty frustrating. Other than that, it's a pretty good app to have.

They thankfully walked back most of the changes that were made to the video player and mini-player at the end of last year, but why is there now a drop-down arrow to show the full video title, channel, likes, comments, etc? Seems like a pointless change that adds an extra step for no reason whatsoever. Also, please allow more control over the 'not interested' option. I get recommended so many videos and topics that I don't care for, and hitting not interested basically does nothing to fix that.
