Listen. Premium is worth it. Ads are not going away, and will likely increase. You get YouTube and YouTube Music, so it's arguably two apps in one. What I've been doing, is buying Google Play cards and letting the cost come out of that. Something to consider if you don't want to run up credit card charges. Or change banking info somewhat often. Or lose your cards more than you should.

Please, YouTube, when I upload long videos Longitudinal, not transverse, I want them to appear with their thumbnails in search results. Currently, they appear without a thumbnail even though I've added one. Please, I beg you, fix this big problem.

Bring back the block button. You won't go bankrupt if you do. You claim in every update you want to "improve" the users experience. Then bring back the block button

Horrible today's update at Playground. Instead of my meticulously created models it generates hyperrealistic uncanny slop looking nothing like people from my images. And this is the retribution for extra 2 seconds to a video. Please restore last version 🤧😒😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Auto update off, auto updates anyway. Removed from device totally and yet it returned with an auto update despite restricting data, battery, every permission and deleting it off the device. Seriously, what is the point of removing it if it just reinstalls. WE CALL THIS BEHAVIOR MALWARE.

Waar waar update mang Raha hai please solve this problem
