My biggest issues are the amount of ads appearing on videos that aren't monetized for the creator and the amount of ads that appear that the creator didn't put on their video. Atop that, loading is inconsistent, videos get stuck buffering even on ideal wifi, and when a video gets stuck and you have to reload it, you'll get stuck with the ad again. And ads can be 2-3 minutes apart. Makes it very hard to enjoy without an ad blocker. Ads getting more intrusive. App buggier. Not a fan.

The ads have become more intrusive over time. There's one ad that if I accidentally click on it will open an in-app browser, it will always close the entire app no matter how I try to close the browser. The algorithm won't show the actual relevant results of what you have searched, but will promote random videos ranging from somewhat related to completely not relevant to what you want (see ProZD's video).

This review is for the Android TV version of the app. I don't have any issues with the mobile app but I do not like that the TV app (which is essentially the exact same thing as the phone version) does not allow age restricted videos to play. Even though I'm using the exact same account as on my mobile phone and I have YouTube premium. I think it's ridiculous that one device just completely prevents videos from playing for no reason.
