I think I've once had it freeze and I had to restart the device - but when it is working it is quite snappy. I don't even think its the device - we upgraded from quite an old Apple TV model to a new one and it was equally usable o

I don't think I've ever noticed any problems with the YouTube app on our Apple TV?

Careless People is very good. However, I'm currently reading "Character Limit" about the acquisition of Twitter by Musk which I think is even more interesting. Does anyone have any recommendations for more books like these?
