Nope, not fixed. On my Sony smart tv with the YT app and a good connection it recently started low rate Auto and continues to do this as of today. Fix it guys! Premium at 360p is not worth the cost.

आपने जो शॉर्ट क्रिएटर के लिए ज्यादा व्यूज यानि नकली व्यूज

जो 1 अप्रैल से लागू किया बहुत ही बेकार है

ओर इसे तुरंत वापस ले।

क्योंकि इससे छोटे क्रिएटर का दमन की

नीति उपयोग हो रहा है

क्या सोचकर आप अपडेट लाएं
