This isn't specifically about the article, but generally, does anyone know what the heck is going on with the YouTube App?

Recently they took away anyway to refresh the videos on the home screen. So I have to login as a guest, then back into my account to get refreshed videos.

There is no way to tell youtube from the app to not show me a video or a channel. I can't join a channel from the app, or look at the community stuff or any of the comments. From mobile you can do that stuff but the experience is horse shit.

I love youtube, I just can't for the life of me understand why their app on apple tv and android is absolute garbage compared to even what it used to be 6 months ago.

Resume driven rewrites? Missing functionality is a tell tail.
