Every few videos the app will play audio, but with a black screen. The only way to fix is by restarting the app. I have background play disabled, I've also tried clearing the cache and data to no avail. The app is fine in general, but updates always make the user experience worse. I don't mind paying for Premium, but the background play issues only seem to affect Premium subscribers from what I can tell, so it might not be worth keeping.

It genuinely feels like YouTube's new ad strategy is to make them as disruptive as possible. No ads at the beginning, but 20 seconds into the video. Even though their AI sections the videos into distinct parts, they make sure to slap the ad right in the middle of something. It's so infuriating I often just close the app or my laptop and give up trying to follow the video.

Currently, I am not sure if its a bug or not, but the youtube miniplayer is not working. When I leave full screen, the video just closes. When I trying using the search bar and a video playing in the background, the miniplayer closes. It even happens when I click on a channel, try to play a vid, then leave, the video closes. Please do something
