There is just too much wrong with the platform! I'll start with ads. Banners popping out of nowhere, ads that are playing AFTER the video ended. Then, the player is broken. Every day, the pause/play button breaks. It wouldn't work without converting the video or a livestream to a small frame. Shorts sometimes have no UI. Comments load only half the time. Comment's replies have weird blank spaces beneath them. New UI is unnecessary. All AI features are useless. Could write more!

Much better since I last reviewed. Isnt letting me watch videos but may just be my phone. Overall so much better! Update: yeah no it's definitely not just my phone. Comments were loading fine on shorts (Wanted to quickly see if it was ok again) while the video wasn't. Then the comments kept closing then not loading. I'm still getting notifications from the app and videos on the home screen are loading so it's not a connection thing. At this point its on your end. I just wanna chill and I can't.

The app suddenly started having loading issues after an ad plays (which happens a lot), sometimes to the point where I have to start a short to reset the video player. The severity of the issue can change, sometimes it just buffers for a few seconds, and at others it just becomes a black screen which doesn't respond to anything until I've reloaded the video, but it happened basically every time an ad has played today.
