I would like to complement that native youtube(the one used on mobile) is far better at playback while keeping nearly every other advantage that it has on the web.
> that native youtube(the one used on mobile) is far better at playback.
No, it is not. Playback would get stuck, sound would go away for no rhyme or reason and what not. Better experience? - no - quite the opposite.
I got rid [1] of the native nuisance completely. And the experience of search, comment and history on native was simply terrible. Much lesser control on ad-blocking too, and really the ads on YT are sometimes seriously irritating.
That is irrelevant. I prefer to not have ads and Google is generally kind of to comply and suggest developers respect ad-blockers as well, even though the vast majority of Google's revenue comes from ads. To suggest going native to provide revenue over UX only benefits the provider, not the user.
