What happened to Youtube?

L99SS · 07-14-2011, 02:12 AM

My viewing experience encountered a change for the worse several months ago. I thought it might have been my connection, but it makes no sense given it ran very well before. Is anyone besides me having to wait excruciatingly long for videos to buffer?

Is it to do with the connexion speed? Youtube? Perhaps increasing ad bombardment?

Download Mozilla Firefox and get the add-on Ad Block Plus. Works fine for me.

I can't view vids on my phone anymore - it's says they are unavailable. But they play on the computer fine. It's aggravating.

that's pretty cool, I'm too tired now to keep my eyes open for 15 seconds though

Yea I have had this happen on my iPod touch. I already knew that going to youtube from Safari netted better results than using the built-in youtube app, but now even that doesn't work well at all.

I kinda wonder if it'd be any better if I jailbroke it. Or is it all mobile platforms that are having troubles?

You can't view videos on apple stuff bc they want you to pay for them in iTunes. You can only view user posted stuff. It's bs but that's apple for ya.

Only thing I've noticed about YouTube lately is they've gone to a new colour scheme for their player: red, black, and grey.
