  "account": "A recent survey conducted by Android Authority reveals that YouTube's latest Android app redesign has been met with significant backlash from users. The November update introduced Custom Feeds, removed the Subscriptions tab from the bottom bar, and placed an increased emphasis on Shorts. However, the removal of Filters from the Subs tab has proved to be a major disappointment for many. In a poll of 1,274 readers, a staggering 92% expressed their displeasure with the redesign and voiced their desire to see the return of the Subscriptions tab to its previous location. Although a small fraction - just under 5% - found the update acceptable, the majority of respondents were not pleased with the changes. The removal of the Posts button was also cited as an issue by a noticeable number of users. While some readers have no strong opinion on the redesign, given that they do not use YouTube on their mobile devices, the majority of feedback suggests that the changes are unwelcome. Those who have not yet received the redesign appear to be an exception to the rule. Android Authority invites readers to share their opinions on the new Android app redesign and suggests potential improvements to the design.",
