Ratings and reviews

CAN YOU PLEASE go back to using the old miniplayer? Whenever I go to drag a video down to the bottom, I get this new mini player that can be moved all over the screen, it's cumbersome and it's hard to navigate to other pages on YouTube with this player in the way. Also there seems to be some glitches with it as well. When I try to open a video sometimes the video screen gets stuck and it is dimmed out. Sometimes when playing movies, the movie gets stuck at the thumbnail picture and wont move.

While it's nice y'all update regularly, what's absolutely ridiculous is having the "pull up for precise seeking" at the top of the video that literally will not go away. I have closed and reopened and reupdated and reset my phone. This is absolutely absurd. It dulls my screen, I can't see important info at the top. Unless this is a bug, and y'all have an absolutely ridiculous process of reporting said potential bugs by only giving two options that dont even correspond with the og issue. Fix it.

Edit: Now they changed how the video minimizes and it doesn't shrink to the bottom of the screen anymore. It's irritating. This new layout is HORRENDOUS. I don't want YouTube to look exactly like Tiktok when I open it. It starts automatically playing shorts right away, and I hate auto play features. Hopefully the rest of the app continues to work in the same way it did before the recent update.
