Adding music to videos is indiscriminately difficult. I use to be able to add music to my videos directly on YT. But now I can't do that. Also, it sucks that they got rid of the clip button. I really liked clipping my favorite scenes in videos. But YouTube isn't as terrible as it was before, so I'm changing my 1 star rating to 2.

So it seems like some of the channels and only SPECIFIC channels only do this. For example, the channel "that is impossible." Buffers very frequently on parts that seem the most important and it makes you skip that part. I'm not sure if YouTube is doing this on purpose, but it's very irritating. The only reason why I know it's not just my internet is because it never does it on other channels, like for example, food channels and also it started to do it at my parents house as well.

Update 8/31/26: now it always opens on an autoplay Short. Nothing I do fixes this. There is no setting to stop it. I wish I could rate this lower. When I turn off the screen, the app runs through the buffer and then stops every time, even when on wifi. I have the premium service, so it should be running just fine. This is clearly a bug, because this never happened until a few weeks ago. Google really doesn't care about its customers. Hope they get antitrusted soon.
