Worst update ever. You are no longer able to skip multiple ads. You have to skip both individually. It still takes 5+ seconds to skip as well. If I give it lower stars I would. Now whenever you try to precise seek or check a notification on your phone you swipe to the next video and going back resets it to zero. Absolutely horrible and you aren't able to turn it off as of 11/5/24

Latest update is horrible. Whenever I stop watching a video it goes into picture-in-picture mode (which I have disabled), and I can't get rid of it except by starting another video. There's also a translucent bar across the top that goes away when I rotate. When I "send feedback" it insists on taking its own screenshot which is always blank, and I can't attach my own. At least it has cured my desire to endlessly scroll through videos.

Youtube is, of course, a great service. But it seems the site (and the app specifically) has given itself a challenge to provide as many unecessary features as possibly every minute for the sake of "new stuff". Like, before swiping up in full screen allowed you to see the next videos you could watch, or see the channel name or description. Now it just immediately loads to the next or previous video, and there's literally no use because the next button is literally right there on the screen.
