YouTube update fixes some old issues but introduces some new ones

On the plus side, reading and interacting with YouTube comments is a dream now -- big kudos to them for that! Also, there are lots more context menus now where you can swipe up or down on an element to interact with it. Overall the update is more good than bad.

The bad: the like and dislike buttons seem to have disappeared. Also, in the subscriptions tab, that area near the top where it lists your more preferred channels no longer announces channel names. The workaround is to find the "more channels" option to the right and double tap it to get a list of all your channels, but it's still a bug to be aware of

Another workaround I found is that you can touch the button where the channel name would normally be announced, swipe down until you hear VoiceOver say the name of the channel and double tap to activate it.

Greetings Joe and everyone in the AppleVis community, hope you're in the best of health. Like I mentioned before, the Like/Dislike buttons are now hiddden in the video title icon on the video playback screen alongside option that will allow you to add the video for offline watching. So, when you start playing any videos, from the video player heading, keep flicking to the right until you find the title then use one-finger flick up or down to explore the available options. Hope that helps. Thank you so much.
