    High intrusive and annoying ads content better use alternative app

      Absolutely terrible update! Even a kid can change the resolution of a video. Absolutely necessary and adds a step to change the resolution. And why do they switched them around - one time is from the lowest to the highest, now it's from highest to lowest. Changes for the sake of changes and inconvenience.

              I don't like this feature.

                youtube vanced already has it , and im not even using latest version !

                  YouTube keeps getting trashier by the day. I'm gonna ditch the platform altogether soon enough.

                        Nowadays YouTube is just another version of TikTok. Quantity over quality. Plus the ads.
                        I am so happy I left this platform behind. Except some nice tech videos, I am not missing anything else.

                          This update sucks. Typical "give people less choice" move by Susan Wabitchski

                            I liked it better when I could select the quality directly. Now I have to navigate through all this to set my video quality. Bad update.

                              Not enough viewers and videos barely get a 1000 views.

                              Waste of time.

                                  I actually like this. It's easier to understand for people who don't really know what all the numbers for resolution means.

                                      Not just you guys, but everyone hates it. YouTube should really bring back the old style or atleast provide an option to set a default VIDEO RESOLUTION instead of those Auto, Data saver stuff.

                                        Absolutely useless and troublesome update. Instead of clicking twice, we now have to click 3 times to change the resolution. What's worse is that the setting only applies to each video. " "High quality" in the "All video" settings seems to be 1080p, but what I prefer is 720p at all times.
