its crazy youtube app just isnt useable on ios 25

if anyone else is having the experience of the yt app being functionally unusable on ios 25 i'd love to hear it. i feel like i'm "taking crazy pills" at how broken it is

number one issue is you just cant close the video youre on. to get back to your subscription list or search results or you cowboys/cowgirls that have suggestions turned on

the down arrow in the upper left seems to be the only way to close the current video and its just not clickable.

related gripe is the black blob at the top the if youre watching something like stand up obscures the video in such a way i looks like the comedian's identity is being protected by putting a bar over their eyes

this probably because of Glass being a shitshow but it isnt like google doesnt have dev resources to compensate

is it like this for anyone else?
