Does no one at Google know how bad the YouTube app is for andoid? I keep thinking they made a last minute change to a patch which broke the whole workflow, but they haven't fixed it for months

Every time I launch a yt link it pops up saying you should update and every time i hit the"not now" button because every time i update an app on my phone, every single time, it's worse somehow

I can't think of a single app that has ever gained a new feature or new look that i thought was an improvement, and even if it's visually the same chances are it just runs slower

this includes the awful app which mostly works... mostly. still without a way to see the leper colony or see why someone was probated

Shipping products is pretty fun too. It's just maintaining them w/o completely rewriting them thats boring

no, but have you considered making up a new "material" UI with elements and functionality contrary to those found in other apps?

tbh I think 'the old product has too much tech debt' is a pretty common part of every justification for reinventing products internally

if only there was some way to prevent this in the future! perhaps some sort of custom framework or a brand new programming language...
