The go to for every video topic imaginable. Although many ads, easy to lose time it is suitable for learning too. And of course entertainment if you're looking to watch something short to pass time like half an hour of 20 minutes

So you are forcing people to buy premium by playing ads 10 times for just 3 minutes of videos. Better give a premium at the affordable price that our Indians can buy. Premium is costly, and you want to waste our data with ads. People are fed up and will use other social media apps for time pass. YouTube's creators will lose viewers to ads that intervene in a flow. Only very important videos will be watched by people.

Why can't I create a new playlist? I was going to make a new playlist but for some reason, the "+" button to create a new playlist is gone and the new version of the "Playlists" section is changed. Now instead of showing the 10 newest playlists and having you to click on the text saying "Playlists" to look at all the playlists, it's now totally changed with the "+" button to create a playlist removed.
