Cool, I just updated my one star review to: still no PiP - not even for premium users.
 
Can I take a bunch of videos and partially play them, having it remembering each video's playback position? Like any podcast player from the past decade?

I haven't had a huge problem with playback being remembered. I will on some occasions have really old videos screw up though. Old as in not uploaded in the last few years so they are lower quality, and may have been processed differently.

I came here to see the same thing, so I’ll start:
I see why Google is taking their time to update their apps. I imagine every one of their apps is going to have the stupid huge privacy list YouTube has. It’s bad. Real bad. But nobody should be surprised. It’s Google, and they own all of us.

I hope Tim Apple is sincere, but given Apple's resolute commitment to not providing real product options to folks that want to minimize the environmental impact of buying limited life products, and their absolute resistance to Right to Repair I have my doubts. Not a Zuck/FBook fan at all, but I really have a hard time thinking Tim is so interested in what is best for consumers & the environment. Is Apple knee-capping FBook in our interests, or does Apple see FBook's huge ad revenues as a area for Apple future revenue growth. Flame me all you want, but before you do, maybe take the time to read these really insightful links:


 
Yeah, it desperately needs updating. I prefer to use apps via my Apple TV rather than the built-in TV apps but YouTube makes this hard. It’s just terrible on the Apple TV. You can’t manage lists, add to playlists, and it’s really fiddly to just get to the like button. The one built in to my LG TV is vastly superior.
Does the one on your Apple TV show commercials? I have the ATV HD...shows ads. My brother has ATV 4K..no ads. Whats your experience?
 
Good move. If people want to watch YouTube videos, they should do so via the web browser and not logged into any YouTube account, in my opinion. A good add blocker should take care of the Google ads etc.
How do you get around the ads on ATV?
 
Why is it awful? I see no ads, I am not tracked, and I can get any YouTube channel feed I want on my RSS app without subscribing.
You don’t get maximum resolution and FPS via the web browser. And it’s a web browser so none of the gestures work, and page navigation is obviously clunkier than the UI in the app.

like yeah yeah ads suck but safari YouTube is garbage
 
I get 4k resolution on my Mac with the same use. I also get excellent resolution on my iPad Pro.
Lol we’re comparing the web interface with the app why are you bringing up a Mac. iPad Pro is just a blown up iPhone so it has the very same limitations there unless you use the desktop interface which isn’t designed for touch
