- Laggy UI YouTube iOS Is it just me or is any else experiencing messed up UI on the YouTube iOS app? For example, when I rotate my phone for full screen the video player is just 30% of the screen and takes a few moments to get to correct size. Another example- when I drag down a video the animation just doesn’t happen.
- Correct me if I am wrong, YouTube iOS UI is bad It’s just really unintuitive. When I go from video 1 to video 2 I can only go back to my homepage but not my video 1. The comment section were at the bottom which I was used to then it got switched to the middle then it got back to the bottom then it got switched back to the middle. The actual UX of

- Why wouldn't Facebook threaten Apple to pull their apps/support from IOS? Yes, I'm talking about the Apple's privacy policies. I am convinced that a big percentage of iphone users need Instagram, Whatsapp and Facebook/Messenger. If this happens, I bet a lot of users would consider to move away from Apple phones just because they can't use Instagram/Whatsapp. And statiscal

- link Is it the end of Netflix’s growth? https://thehustle.co/02032022-youtube-netflix/ Google acquired YouTube for $1.65B in 2006, but didn’t break out earnings for the streaming service until 2020. For the latest quarter, YouTube ads brought in $8.6B. Here’s the wild part: That’s an annualized run rate of $34B, which outpaced Netflix —
- vote Do PMs at YouTube do anything beyond monetization? I have an offer at YouTube, but hate PM work that revolves around shoving more ads in. YouTube has more ads on videos, on the suggested videos, and now on the homepage. The only “user engagement” feature that was shipped was removing dislikes. And every user hates that feature and is almost certain

- link TikTok VS YouTube With growing popularity, i have a feeling that TikTok will take down Google in very near future. Here some of the reasons why i think so. 1. Around 80% of Google’s revenue comes from ads. A major chunk of that comes from YouTube. Google is heavily dependent on ads. 2. TikTok has already killed Met
- Google PM interview questions - how many computers does Google own? How would you answer this question. The number of users laptops could be easily estimated. How about the servers ? Would you calculate for each product ? Search, Youtube, Gmail - can't possibly do that in the interview. How would you calculate number of users per server and number of simultaneous
- YouTubers Vs Software Engineers I see a lot of people earning money through youtube channels.

Considering only earning money is the moto, how do you compare our job
- vote Netflix isn’t a tech company. Change my mind. A tech company in todays world implies a few things. Namely that you work with technology (synonymous with anything touching computers these days, which I think is a fallacy, but I digress). But also that you are high growth and “innovating”. When we look at Netflix, it should be obvious that all th

- vote YouTube Removing Dislikes Looks like YouTube is following the Instagram and tiktok model where users can’t see the number of dislikes on a video anymore. Imo this is trash because unlike Instagram and TikTok, I use it to watch a ton of tutorial videos and a large part in determining the quality of them is the like to dislik
- Anyone played Last of Us 2 ? Opinions ? I am a huge fan of Last of Us part 1. That game was a masterpiece.

- Why should I subscribe to Netflix? I have Amazon Prime due to its fast shipping, AppleTV+ because I like it’s high quality content you cannot find elsewhere (Foundation!), and for the rest I can borrow Bluerays for free from local libraries, rent pay per view, watch foreign content on YouTube for free (with ads), or go to AMC. I also
- Opinion: YouTube is dead. Reasons: Ads, UX, click-bait content. YouTube had been part of my life, until few months ago where the up tick in ads completely destroyed the experience. Ads blocks don’t even work. What’s worse is I saw ads on my own video, which I’ve haven’t seen a single dollar in compensation. Introducing a p
- Google should demote/fire a PM if a feature/product experience is bad With the latest mkbhd’s smash on Pixel 6 and YouTube removed dislikes and YouTube changed resolution specs, I have a strong feeling that many Google PMs are trying to chase the so called impact and never give a shit about the users. As long as those dumb PMs can come up with some stupid ass ideas a
