    Just install a chromium browser for testing or check if the YouTube app is still buffering.

    I’ll just slit my throat while I’m at it. Your solution is to put power in google’s hands. I’m not interested.

    it’s best to just boycott them altogether.

    They’ve done it for me! I can’t load their content even if I wanted most days.

      Not to use, just to check. Use a VPN and install it in a VM or something if you’re worried about their tracking. Don’t be so anti-Google to the point you start to sound unhinged. Installing a chromium browser for 10 minutes for troubleshooting shouldn’t be compared to slitting your throat. Relax for a minute. Boycotting Google is a good thing that I myself am not prepared to do yet, but let’s not be unreasonable about things.

        that was a joke… but text can make jokes hard.

        But like I said, I’m no longer interested in debugging/fixing Youtube’s problem. I’ve had issues for months… probably years at this point. I’ve given up putting time into fixing their shit.

          Yeah, sorry for not getting the joke. And not wanting to deal with YouTube completely makes sense. I did add that this is only if you’re interested in knowing the source of the problem, but outside that it’s not really worth the hassle.
