Google needs to flex its muscles every so often. Therefore, Apple users are periodically reminded that Google owns YouTube. Google does this by deploying new and powerfully infuriating bugs to the YouTube app.

Fortunately, it doesn't stop there: Soon, Google will be bricking several million Nest thermostats.

I hear your frustration loud and clear. It’s incredibly annoying when an update makes a device you’ve relied on feel obsolete overnight, especially when you're a paying customer.

YouTube fails again. It's extraordinarily clear that whomever oversees the management for all YouTube client applications should be moved out. YouTube app reliability and UI has been mediocre for years... across ALL platforms. Influencers, why do you blindly support this continuously infuriating situation? The TOS? Fear of reprisals?

Its because youtube is a total monopoly on the user generated video space. Ok you don't want youtube, what will you use? I say this as someone who hates youtube but is stuck using it since there is no alternatives
 
YouTube message board says the issue should be fixed now - haven’t tested it myself yet

Ever since YouTube did an update to the app for AppleTV, the touch remote has been wonky when trying to navigate around the app. It’s YouTube’s fault, but the touch remote, which was a Jony Ive special, has always been crappy.The only thing I like about it is the accelerometer, but then again, I only have one game installed the uses it - a tennis game - and I haven’t played it in a long time.
