New feature that requires you to click the x in the upper right corner to remove the screen dim is utterly annoying. Tapping the screen to remove the dim, or just leaving it be until it went away was perfectly fine. Also, for whatever reason, when watching shorts now, there's a play and next button plastered to the middle of the screen that don't go away? I don't get it. 💀

I've always used YouTube and have typically enjoyed the app. I've been getting very frustrated tho do to whatever has happened to the app. I'll start a video and as usual there will be 2 ads. Usually you can just skip the ad and not worry. The last couple of weeks when I try to watch a video the first ad will play with its 5 seconds til skip and when I go to skip that ad will end but the second one will then play and ill have to wait to skip that one. When it's the same ad it's pretty annoying

Latest update has absolutely ruined the TV queue feature, went from clicking a video and having the option to play or queue to just playing the video with the queue option stuffed away in the video options. No warning to this update either, just a sudden loss of a useful feature. Between this and the obscene level of ads on even un-monetized videos, this app has become a shadow of what it once was. I'd say try something else if it didn't monopolize the market on top of becoming user unfriendly.
