In ten years time YouTube will be entirely inaccessible from the browser as the iPad kids generation are used to doomscrolling the tablet app and Google feels confident enough to cut off the aging demographic.

The YouTube web app is so full of bugs it's almost unusable on a phone.

Comments also disappear regularly on all platforms...

I don't believe that that's a bug. The disappearance depends a lot on the topic of those comments. It's very much deliberate censorship.
