Ratings and reviews

Why do I pay for a queue feature only for it to disappear if I leave the app/turn off my screen??? it's very upsetting having to re-do the queue, makes me want to stop using premium updated (July 25, 2025), to say the Queue feature is even more broken. Now, it will give you two videos, deleting any previous queues from the list, then if you try to skip forward, it will delete the prior videos. I've even had it skip 2 videos ahead.

For the past month or so, YouTube has been so laggy that it's basically useless. It doesn't do it to all videos, but it is enough that it makes using it infuriating. I can barely scroll. Comments don't load. Because of the lag, many videos get stuck on ads. Then just this week, the lag is so bad that the app crashes multiple times a day. I've already been using alternate browsers and apps.

Normally I love youtube, but I'm noticing an issue today 7/11/25. An ad will start to play. I get sound but the screen goes black. the ad stops but the video doesn't resume. I go out of the video and back in, and it doesn't remember where I left off and I have to fast forward to find it. Is it just me? I'm also noticing you don't respond to reviews. 7/13/25: Just did an update yesterday, the issue is still there. If you want people to watch the ads, you should fix this so they're visible.
