    I feel bad for folks that actually use the stock app. There are so many better alternatives to that garbage.

      I just don’t watch YouTube on my phone since losing YouTube vanced. What I liked about vanced was that I could be logged in. Do you have any personal recommendations for an alternative where I can still log in?

      Even without apps, disable YouTube and use it in a browser. No reason to even have an app.

      It’s so weird how Google is incredibly terrible at their own apps anymore. Apple makes their own apps (mostly) shine.

      Gotta justify having entire teams on standby, so they constantly mess with the UI then do some A/B testing then reverse their testing then call it a day.

      Right? Why do anything. Who needs more than a terminal interface anyway.

        Per your edit: because there are lots of more useful things to focus dev time on than making the bottom bar have a different background which doesn’t add anything to the user experience.
