YouTube used to be a perfect 10/10, however, more recently, the amount of ads they YouTube forces is absolutely outrageous! Every 3-4 minutes you get ads, and just because you press 'skip ad' doesn't mean you skip the ads, sometimes it will show you 1 Frame of the video you're trying to watch, then it'll give you 2 MORE ADS!! I know YouTube wants people to buy Premium, but making the free users more annoyed isn't going to help that. Spotify is losing users because they keep doing it.

My god, the AI translation is AWFUL. Horrible to anyone who speaks more than 1 language or who is trying to learn! It would be cool if it were an extra feature that you could enable if you want. But I hate how it's the default. I have to switch it off every time I want to watch videos from other countries. The way it's done is too forceful and very annoying. It shouldn't be the default. The default should be the original language! Then we can choose subtitles or dubbing if we want. Not like this

I can live with the tons of new advertising Google added in the last decade. But automatic translations for titles and sometimes even the audio of the video are just so annoying that I'm at a loss of words for it. Make this an optional setting and not for whatever reason the norm in many cases. Jesus.
