It’s fine but at least try with the ui. It’s like they spent 2 min on it.

No, please, the UI is one of the best things about it. I can run YouTube on my 20-year-old iMac G4 (PowerPC G4 processor, 1GB of RAM) and it ... just works. Most other sites fail completely - Gmail Basic HTML view and Hacker News being two notable exceptions.
I personally don’t understand the desire to have an ugly tool just because it’s minimal. You can have minimal and not have it be ugly.
Can your 20 year old Mac even decode high definition H.264/5 videos?

I mean, it's open source. Don't like it? You can fork it and create something better.
Sure, but if you want people to use it, you could also just spend an additional day to make it look decent instead of expecting a fork to do it.
