Youtube on a phone makes you realize why they're pushing 5.5"+ phones: https://i.imgur.com/2d0Neg2.png https://i.imgur.com/2d0Neg2.png (yes, that whole large card is an ad, while top 25% of the screen is static)

- norea-armozel 11y agoYeah, it's weird how non-vendor apps take their design cues from Apple, Google, and Microsoft but they tone down the obsession with empty/negative space separation which makes it wholly easier to use. Seriously, I don't know why but every time I use the Google Youtube App it's hard for me to focus on what I'm doing. I'm not sure if it's all the empty space or the lack of any explicit separator between items (videos and what not). But it's just harder to use the app than to just open the web browser and get the video that way. :/
