there is a known ongoing bug with youtube that causes browsers to lag and freeze, each tab using over a gig of memory, this bug has to do with Ad banners and ad buttons, likes dislikes and other buttons lay outs below the video player, using Ublock Origion ad blocker seems to help, some people have this bug some don;t this may be related

there is a known ongoing bug with youtube that causes browsers to lag and freeze, each tab using over a gig of memory, this also effects stream buffering & video loading & website performance, this bug has to do with Ads, Ad banners and ad buttons, using Ublock Origin ad blocker seems to be the only way to fix this, wether youtube introduced this bug on purpose to get people to pay for premium or not, is not known at this time, how ever premium now has ads, so this bug will show up there too.

App keeps buffering out of nowhere

Candice

Since Sunday, sometimes I cannot post more than one picture at a time. Sometimes I can. And when I can, the next button is slow. Videos and shorts are fine. I cleared cache and data on YouTube, reinstalled, force stopped, signed in out and in of YouTube, and restarted my phone, and none that worked, ugh

RubyRox

are videos not loading guys?

C8man

Still Happening?

Candice

I am so annoyed. Since Sunday, sometimes I can't post more than picture in the community. Pictures get me subscribers. Idk why it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. When it does work, the next button is slow. I cleared cache and data, reinstalled YT, restarted my phone, force stopped YT, and signed out ans back into YT, and none of that worked. Shorts and videos are not a problem not even posting one picture. After I hit next after selecting a bunch of pics, many times it'll kick me out and I can't post the pics, ugh. It has to be YouTube bug. It is only happening on YT and how does it do it sometimes?

If the buffering, closing of the app (among other issues) and the inability to watch downloads when offline continues? Then, I shall no longer pay for premium and will move on to Rumble. Starting to hate YouTube.

C8man

Still?

RubyRox

are videos not loading???

cheeseman555

My videos i watch always give me a playback error, what the hell

Dave Jeffery in Niagara USA

Videos are hanging, and I just had a comment on my latest video literally disappear.

Dave Jeffery in Niagara USA

I really wish YouTube would stop "improving" the platform. They are currently messing around with how channel pages look, and what is the result? Videos that hang, and comments that disappear. If its not broken, don't fix it.

ColinCCE

Over a month, about 2 I think. Was fine for 4 years, I don’t think I had a single video buffer in that time then suddenly I’m getting tons. And it’s not consistent, some videos are 4k60 and stream fine and seconds later a 1080p video will stall and buffer, then I come back to the bad video 1/2hr later and it’s fine. 1ms jitter, 1.2Gbs throughput in Speedtest, issues showing on my AppleTV and iPad app. Super frustrated.

RubyRox

how long has this been going on???

ColinCCE

Getting really sick of videos buffering when I’m paying for premium. I can watch one video just fine, go to another and it’s constant buffering and res drop, then go to another and it’s fine, then go back to the bad one and it’s still bad. I think they have a bad blade in their server farm or something, but they are doing nothing to fix it. It’s clearly not on my end or all videos would be impacted.

Hajanirina Razafindrakoto

The video stops for itself during a period. It's unpleasant fact.

lorenzosantosenzo

youtube not fixing

lorenzosantosenzo

youtube 100%

Aye Aye.

I still can't post comments on any videos. I don't post anything bad. FIX THIS PROBLEM! IT'S VERY ANNOYING AND VERY BAD.

Aye Aye.

Within the last two days (and even prior to that), I have tried posting comments on YouTube videos, but I can't, because the comments will not post. This is absolute garbage, and nothing offensive is posted. Tried clearing the cache, and turned off Restricted Mode. Even tried updating the app. Nada. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. I can post comments sometimes, then I can't. This has to be fixed.

Aye Aye.

I can't comment on videos. This is getting super annoying. If I post a comment on a video, it says Comment posted, but after that, the comment isn't there.

Kitty

I can't update YouTube at the play store it keeps loading and nothing is happening.

C8man

Mee too! When did this start for you?
