there are now more commercials on some things than there were on free broadcast. (specifically Task Master, which takes longer to watch on YouTube than it does live aired). The commercials sometimes freeze or mess up the app on both phone and televisions, making you have to watch another set of commercials after restarting. it loves to go to terrible bitrate and quality and back constantly even on fast and steady internet.

Too busy adding bells and whistles to make a reliable product. I don't want shorts. I don't want glitch games. I want my que to not erase itself randomly. I want to keep my YouTube and YouTube music playlists to be separate. Update: I would also like my wues to not randomly delete themselves with no chance for retrieval if I open another app for a second. Second Update: Now queuing won't work on my phone. The quality gets worse and worse.

Stop with the damn agressive ads. No I don't want to watch 3 minutes of ads on a 14 second video. YouTube has transitioned from single, skippable after 5 seconds ads to multiple 30 second unskippable ads and its getting really annoying. It does not care how long the video you're trying to watch is, it will show you more ad than video. And the next video will be the exact same. coming back to note that on a 51 minute video I got 15 ads. That is an average of 3.4 minutes between ads. Insane.
