they updated the fucking UI and broke some shit probably
And in typical fashion, the UI update is fucking awful
This whole new version of material is god awful. Makes all my apps look like they’re for preschoolers. Marketing and design had to justify themselves again
It does look like a giant tablet, like “kids will use this anyways”
The transport controls are gigantic now, take up a good chunk of screen real estate whenever u wanna just skim
But the ads were working.
I bet the outage was some new antiadblock nefariousness they’re trying to implement.
Yeah I think that was the most frustrating part of it being down. The false promise of an ad…
Reading the comments here, they Uno Reversed themselves, blocking official frontend users (official yt app, website, etc.) and allowing unofficial ones (Pipepipe, NewPipe, and some others). Lol. Nice job, guys.
LOL no wonder why I haven’t been having any issues.
These are the guys in charge. Pennywise pound foolish.
Pennywise, you say?
It’s been acting up a lot over the last day or so. I thought it was my ad block or something.
Same, but I tried turning it off to test and there was no change.
Wasn’t sure if it was my pihole jacking something up
ublock origin here, turns out it was an outage.
i saw a post on reddit too, they were reporting its youtubes side. maybe YT is trying something to mess with the ads again, or against adblocker.
Oh shit, what about the advertisers and the influencers, will they be ok? /s
Pipepipe users did not even notice
I tough it was me
Good news, it isn’t just you.
Damn you are indeed tough if you managed to break youtube
YouTube has been absolute dogshit on my Apple TV box, which ironically is the only place I’m not blocking ads. So ads aside I should be getting the best experience… but no. So most of the time I AirPlay my MacBook to my TV and just use Firefox. I mean outside the outage.

It doesn’t outright block ads but it shuts ‘em up and skips ASAP.

Just sideload smart tube
Good.
NewPipe. No issues at all.
Edit: autocorrect
I didn’t notice. YouTube hasn’t worked for like a year.
I watched the yify rip of boondock saints directors cut. it’s back.
I gotta tell you I’ve got music streaming like 14 hours a day and I didn’t notice an outage while using Waterfox and uBlock Origin.
