Youtube has gotten worse and worse every time a new update keeps coming. This time, WAY too many ads every time you watch a video for 6 or 7 minutes. And sometimes, when I switch to another video, the screen suddenly turns darker than the last one (no, it's not my phone). And even the mini screen, either sometimes the buttons don't work or trying to go back into full screen. YouTube, please fix this. People are getting more and more upset every time when an update only makes the app worse.

When you scroll down on the Home tab, the tab bar disappears and if you click a short, it stays that way. You cant click the sound, rewind/fast forward, or click a different tab. If you try, you end up clicking your phones home or return buttons. Idk if its because I have a Samsung, but its very annoying to deal with and I cant find a way to fix it.

ADS ADS ADS! that's all this app has become now! every 2 mins or LESS ADS incessantly! and it gets worse if you switch to "mini screen", as if it's intentionally doing it knowing you can't skip ads when it's mini. I thought it was getting better, but then it got WAY worse! I've never seen this many ads even on cable TV! I know they're incessantly cramming them down your throat just so you'll be forced to pay for "premium", this is not the way. Do better YouTube.
