The new update is awful. It was bad enough when they started forcing shorts onto my page, but now the home tab is some disasterous scroll of borderless videos that have the title imposed over the top left corner of the video playing (it doesn't even show me the thumbnail), community tab posts, polls, and blocks filled with shorts. It's incredibly disorienting, but I guess I can appreciate that it served as an instant motivator to close the app and go do something else. So, thanks?

I love YouTube. I've been a premium member for ten years (~$15/month). It's totally worth it. Being able to download, loop videos and play in the background, without commercials, has helped my sleep tremendously over the years. I use YouTube music as well. The latest update seems to interfere with the play in background feature. I want to know what they charge $999.99 for, though. Lol.

absolutely horrible update. it does not allow you to double tap to seek forward or backwards while in full screen mode (landscape) , but if you're watching a video in portrait mode it will allow you to double tap to seek. that makes zero sense. if I'm watching a video in full screen mode I want to be able to fast-forward and rewind by double tapping the screen. can't do that now only in portrait mode which is a way smaller picture and a lot harder to do. absolutely trash.
