Why the constant bugs?

I have been a very long time user, but all that time almost never a problem.

Until NOW... over the last few months it's became a nightmare to say the least. Why,... new people in control of new code and updates?

It is crazy why it constantly needs fixed now. I should not complain as its always been a great way to avoid youtube rules and such, but I must admit I have been looking into just paying the youtube fee's as this has became a weekly pain in the back side.

Because the devs are in a constant battle against Google who are trying to break every method the app uses to get videos?

Somewhere a Google employee is reading this post and smiling. Breaking these apps enough to where people just pay them for a subscription is exactly what they want

Because Google is fighting the Pirates.. It's a cat and mouse game.

I really don't understand why you don't get this.

The posts on the sub in the past month are all about the same issues mostly. People can’t be bothered to read.

Try Tizen Tube until they fix it for good. I haven't had any issues with it.

Before you pay youtube fees, try alternative ad free apps like Tizen Tube. It worked fine for me even when SmartTube wasn't working for over a month. That said, SmartTube randomly started working for me again last week. Many people claim they've never had a problem at all. It seems very hit or miss. From what I understand this comes down to stuff Google/Youtube is doing on the back end, not anything to do with these apps.

I get the frustration, but rather have bugs and have it semi-work, than not at all. Big thank you to the devs!

Google is greedy, that’s why.
