    Too many people trying to watch the banned Colbert / Talarico interview. Or incompetence. It could be incompetence.

    Was wondering what was up. I can access my subscribed videos, but the home tab was unavailable.

        Or, maybe they’re trying to kill adblockers so hard that they killed the whole homepage.

        “Well if we can’t block the adblockers, we’ll just block EVERYBODY! No more Mr Beast for anyone!”

          Ngl, I turned off my adblocker in a private window to see if that may have been the case. It was still fucked.

    I never notice something like this because it always seems to happen when I’m sleeping.

      Revanced was giving me buffering issues. I don’t update often and just assumed that was it. Took the five minutes to do that, and it has been fine since.
