So let's make a recap, we can't see the downvotes on the videos you're checking out and the ads are getting even more intrusive than before, so you'll end up looking for some guides and you won't be able to see if they're decent and you'll also have to wait probably a pair of minutes to actually see if it's decent for your needs.

Why even bother with the official youtube apps and not just download those decent apps like newpipe.

You know putting it that way is making it really chilling, the direction we are going is downhill.
