I find it hilarious that YouTube's iOS app is always pushing me to try a trial of their premium product, one of the major selling points being that videos continue to play in the background when you close the app.

When, in fact, closing the app is the most reliable way to get YouTube to stop playing. From inadvertent clicks in the Wrong Place on the screen that launch some crap or play some ad, to autoplay, as soon as my content is over, I can't wait to kill the app and make it all stop. It's a hell of a lot easier than finding pause/stop.



Maybe this explains why its become frustratingly difficult for me to quickly close the app on Android.
