Way to go......After I click on an ad, when I go back to YouTube, the ad and video both won't continue to play. Great way to stop people from using your app. There are so many bugs related to the ad system, you guys should really look into it. Just to name a few: skip button doesn't work, giving me 3 hours un skippable ad, a 30 sec ad the just loop forever........Get your sxxt together Google......

During the past few weeks, it keeps crashing when I change to a different app. It used to go to minimized mode and sit in the corner while im in a different app. Now it will minimize, freeze but the audio still plays, won't let me tap on it, makes my phone not react to any tapping for a moment and won't let me close it unless I close everything up and sometime it even dissappears from the app menu that let's me close them yet it still plays the audio? It's been like that for 3 weeks now. Fix it.

I didn't think it could get worse, but it has. The ads are out of control. The decision to put popup ads every time you pause a video will be the reason I want an ad blocker. You are just asking for it at this point. The popup ads were already bad on this app, but now, if I watch a long form video and pause it once or thirty times, I get a popup ad every time. I just want to be able to pause to read a comment, not another ad.
