YouTube Premium

Is it me or is YouTube having issues the last 24-48 hours or so? I don't think it is my connection as I've tried both my BT and EE ones (though EE is owned by BT so may be a common issue) but not got around to testing on anything else.

Quite often the site or parts of it are delayed loading or never load, videos can take 5-10+ seconds to start playing with the spinning circle, etc. when it used to be near instant ( not a bandwidth issue at least https://www.speedtest.net/result/15390987316 ). Quite often typing something into search does nothing for 10-20 seconds then the page reloads, or partially reloads, and you can search after that.

Not having issues with other sites.

I’ve been having a few issues today. I’ve had videos stop playing midway through as if trying to load but the bar says it has loaded.

Seems to be getting worse I wonder if someone(s) are DDOSing YT or something, maybe due to the ad blocker changes. Or those changes have screwed something.
 
Regarding the new pop up warning about ad blockers.
Revanced for me I haven't had to touch.
Chrome I had to follow the reddit guide to manually updating the UBlock Origin filter list.

Dayyyum. Just noticed on mobile app, if I hold down the screen it plays the video at 2x speed then 1x when I let go. Great touch that.

Hope it's only for us premium lads. Especially premium vpn lads...

It doesn't do it for me, it brings up a scrubbing slider where you can move left and right to go to specific point in the timeline.

Still haven't seen it on Firefox with uBlock. Revanced and Smarttube going strong on mobile and chromecast going strong too. Only ever had to purge and update filters for Twitch.

Nope not a Premium thing, just tried it with a non premium account and also does it.

Normally I will just double tap to skip 10 seconds, but this is actually better. So many times I've skipped too far and had to go back, was very annoying going 10 seconds either way.

Sadly I have been forced to pay for Premium now, but like hell I am paying what they want so I went down the Ukrainian route.

Using UrbanVPN and Revolut payment just stops with the spinning circle, tried disabling the VPN at that point but no progress.

Any other combinations / suggestions?

Easier to add your card details to google wallet and use that to checkout.

Just purchased a 12 month premium account (Turkey). Cost me £15 for the year but for the person who set it up it only cost them £8 according to the premium receipt.

With some currencies are more powerfully than others. All these companies adjust accordingly.

I can afford to pay £10 a month for YTP but I rather pay £1.60 via the Indian route to save money.
