We have gotten to the point where I watch 2 ads, then 1 minute of a video, 2 more ads, another minute, and so on. This is getting ridiculous. I get that you need money to keep the site running but you seriously need to chill out. What happened to the two ads before and two ads after the video thing? And Premium is way too expensive, for being a bugged experience that *still* shows you ads. Until that isn't getting better, I refuse to use this site anymore.

Im not here to review YouTube. Im here to express my increasing frustration with this app. Despite all the free Adblockers, i choose to continue using YouTube, because i thought the amount of Ads was acceptable for the provided services. Recently it has gotten out of control. Two unskippable 20 second Ads at the beginning followed by two sometimes skippable 15 second Ads in the middle. Sometimes even, up to eight per video. If this gets any worse: Yo ho, yo ho!

They needlessy changed the UI for fullscreen mode. For the entirety of the Youtube app's existence the exit/enter full-screen button was on the bottom right of the screen. But now it's on the top left. That is so pointless and anti-user friendly. I also can't how many times I accidentally clicked something when I was trying to tap to fastforward the video because of all the garbage you placed in the way of the screen. Nobody asked for these changes. Please change this back to the original format
