other Youtube TV experience?
Hello all! Longtime fan here, currently on a rewatch now that iZombie has become available on a couple platforms. Hope this isn’t too off-topic, but I wanted to ask everyone what their experience with Youtube TV has been like so far!
This is my first time using the app (I’ve never needed Youtube TV before) and I’m actually really shocked by how much I dislike it. The ads seem very different than regular Youtube — almost all of them are about Tiktok or AI, both of which I personally revile and do NOT want to see ads about 😅
It’s also difficult to find lists of the episodes/seasons, as if all the videos are independent of each other. Very frustrating when I want to double-check which episodes I’ve seen so far, or which ones are next!
And — almost as frustrating as the unsavory ads — Youtube‘s autoplay has a tendency to skip the opening scenes of each episode, picking up only after the intro sequence. I’m only halfway through s1, but at least twice now I’ve had to restart the whole episode after realizing I’d missed the entire opening scene!
Is this anyone else’s first time using Youtube TV or the Youtube app? I’m honestly so annoyed that I might go figure out Pluto, or return to sailing the high seas. Was simply flabbergasted by the inadequacy of the service, and thought I’d ask what you all thought! 😂
