Who at @YouTube thought it would be a good idea to have the controls and “<<<swipe>>>” pop up on the screen every 15 seconds on the app? Kinda disrupts the viewing experience ya know?
Thanks for trying those steps. Please send a feedback report directly from YouTube with these steps: https://goo.gl/WdI0BK . While every individual report may not get a direct response, we do review everything and use the details to investigate and fix issues. Thanks.
