Ratings and reviews

YouTube has been destroyed even more. I can no longer watch/listen to a video in the background by minimizing the screen. This alone will have me avoiding YouTube as I always am doing two things at once. Every other app of its kind plays in the background....So goodbye YouTube!!! You are not the only game in town. Plus my feed is full of nothing I want to watch. It's disgusting what's happened to this app. And shorts and stupid ads have ruined YouTube too. This used to be my favorite app.

YouTube used to be useable for years without updating. Now, it doesnt load unless I update it, which is literally almost every day. Either allow older versions to run, or stop updating every day. Also, since my phone storage is near full, when YouTube has to update, Play Store says the update is much larger than actuality, and I end up having to delete stuff unnecessarily. If YouTube was less relied on, I might give 3 Stars, but its popular, and people rely on it for income, and entertainment.

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.
