Their AppleTV app is super buggy with same bugs for years. Most annoyingly it stars playing same video I already watched a while ago after resuming the device from sleep. It also often zooms-in 4k content after resuming, you have to kill the app to fix it.
It often resumes video at a random location after you paused it, you have to manually rewind it.
Some of these bugs are like boomerang, they come back after a year or so.
From UI perspective, they continue to hide the "recently updated" section, which should list your subscribed content only, and slowly turn it into a TikTok like app, serving you the content they think you need to watch, not the content you subscribed to.
Do you have autoplay enabled? I find it to be quite buggy across all of their apps.
Agree with you about the UX changes. I can easily get to “the end” of my feed and refreshing shows me all of the same videos but in a slightly different order. Definitely feels worse than 3 years ago.
The most annoying Apple TV + YouTube bug for me is selecting any video or short, having it play the first two seconds, and then start buffering for 5+ seconds. Every single time. And this is on a 1gbps+ fiber connection.

Mine does this sometimes too. If you double click the "Home" button on your remote, you can swipe up to close the YouTube app completely, just like you would to close an app on an iPhone/iPad. Shouldn't be necessary in the first place but it does fix it.
Ah yes, same streaming bug here, also on a gigabit connection over Erhernet! And yes, this is exactly how I deal with this issues and yes, we shouldn’t have to. It’s mind-boggling this company won’t make this product perfect. They can absolutely afford it.
