Every update makes it worse

From getting rid of the dislike button, to cramming in many, many more adverts (even in your subscription feed), and hiding video information and comments behind even more adverts, removing the dislike button from shorts… This app just gets worse and worse, especially when every month they change the layout just to mess with people...

YouTube in general

I watch it everyday I pay for the premium lite and it’s well worth the 8 or 9$ a month for sure without a doubt!
