    Genuinely curious what parts of the UI have gotten worse. Open video, video plays, move on.

    It’s obvious that Google would rather try to make money than bleed it into one of the most expensive websites out there, so the ads are a moot point. Pay or become the product.

      Two big things I’ve noticed:

      1. They removed the Chromecast queue feature. So if I’m casting to my TV, I can either play one video at a time, or I can enable autoplay and see what the algorithm decides to serve me - I can’t queue up a few videos and just watch those, like I used to be able to.

      2. Playlists are becoming harder and harder to use. Finding the button to add a video to a playlist, moving videos from one playlist to another, and managing playlists in general has all become more difficult recently.

      Why does the video stop when you turn your phone screen off?
      If the only answer is “so that people will pay money for it”, you are garbage.
