Dear Youtube: Bring back the downvote count, allow me to disable shorts, allow me to disable your bullshit annoying ass startup music, then half the price and then we'll talk about paying for your "service".

Yep, on Smart TV devices there's a startup tune.

Being able did disable content you don't want aside from ads with a paid membership would be a huge boon.

Killing shorts would be fantastic, and they shouldn't care if I'm not using a feature as long as I'm paying.

That got me, the "you can only upvote stuff" bull. I should also have the option to block channels and videos.
