There are too many ads and possibly broke. I just watched 5 seconds of content and then the same commercial 3 times before I gave up on watching the remaining content. This has been happening for a while. I have not found a way to report the issue. It's not worth keeping the app if I can't see any content.

Terrible, your old app was very good this one is terrible. Skips from one video to the other before the one you're looking at is finished. Cannot successfully change to big screen it continues to go back and forth or once you get it on a bigger screen you can't see all of the screen it's too big . I'm using my Pixel 3 XL so it could be the phone that it doesn't do that on YouTube

The latest big update to this app a few months ago completely ruined it. The new format looks terrible. The ads on the page are presented in the list and look identical to the icons for actual news articles, which is cheesy and feels deceptive. Most of the time, I can't view an article for more than a few seconds without it crashing to just a white screen. Articles that do come up have ads with audio. Trying to silence them takes you to a page that looks like it'll give your phone a virus.
