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.

Way to many commercials. Literally if you try to watch 10 mins of YouTube content in general, you will at least watch 10 commercials in the time frame , and almost all of them pop up right when something important happens in an educational video or a good part in someone's content , and then you have to rewind to watch it again with out the commercials. update added , it's gotten even worse . you get ads now even if you pause a video . , you can't even watch the content anymore

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.
