Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
When you're watching a video over half an hour long, occasionally YouTube will try to load and play an ad. The problem comes when it fails to load the ad and instead reboots the entire video. Other times an ad plays and it completely replaced the video I'm watching so I have to exit and go to history just to get back to what I want to watch. If YouTube's gonna slap us with ads, at least make sure it works to begin with. Basic competency is in question.

Adding music to videos is indiscriminately difficult. I use to be able to add music to my videos directly on YT. But now I can't do that. Also, it sucks that they got rid of the clip button. I really liked clipping my favorite scenes in videos. But YouTube isn't as terrible as it was before, so I'm changing my 1 star rating to 2.

I really enjoy using YouTube and I pay money for its premium features. I watch a lot on there, and I use it for tutorials for crafts and I listen to music. I am seriously considering leaving the platform, though, and seeking out the creators on alternative platforms if YT doesn't stop implementing AI features that I cannot turn off. I do not want a summary about every video, I don't want to enhance anything, I don't need that. It's annoying to see.
