I've had some annoyances: Selecting a video in a playlist and entering fullscreen will open the rest of the playlist, even if it was closed beforehand. Then double tapping to skip ahead can lead to mistapping on a different video in the playlist. ;Multiple touch devices get their screen locked up during playback and me not being able to even pause a video. ;Up to 4 ads in a row and now also a pop up ad while the video is paused. Some ads shrink the video to 1/4 of the screen while in fullscreen.

Congrats, you introduced more bugs to the mini player. Like before, instead of just taking a bit of space at the bottom of the screen it still blocks too much space on the side of the screen making the entire height useless to me. But now it also just vanishes sometimes while the video is still playing. How about you stop introducing new bugs and start fixing old ones?

How ads in Videos work is anoying. If feels like there are way more than when watching with a Browser. In full screen you cannot swipe up to see recommended videos, in portrait mode it covers the whole screen until you close it. Else i cannot complain anymore, but i don't really use many of the features anyways.
