The skip button was already too small, so of course they had to make it even smaller. YouTube’s usability on Android is already terrible enough, which is pretty spectacular considering YouTube and Android are made by the same company. The seek bar barely works. The video end screen hides the de-maximise button. Nobody at Google has heard of the concept that controls at the edge of the screen are harder to aim accurately at. Just to scratch the surface!

Interestingly, that’s the exact opposite of how it works on non-touch interfaces. The edges are prime control areas for pointer-driven interfaces.

Slight challenge to optimise a UX for both.

Pixel 7 and up got rid of the back button and made it so you can just pull from either side. I swipe “back” way too often when I miss tiny sliders. The option to use a regular set of bottom buttons makes them as ugly as possible, too, permanently taking up space in a solid white bar. Such ui shit

The horrible app experience is what made me switch to Invidious two years ago, and its not even an app!

funny enough when I switched to Invidious and when videos would sometimes not load, I found that YouTube’s website on mobile was miles better than their native app.

Their while goal is to make the experience so terrible that you pay for YouTube Premium.
