Since yesterday I am having a problem with YouTube. The videos just keep buffering and won't play.

I did clean the cache. When that didn't work I also uninstalled updates and then reinstalled them.

Anyone else having a problem? Or do you have a suggestion about what is wrong? Thanks.

I notice a TicToc ad on every video I try to play. (The ads don't play either.)
But I'm thinking maybe the buffering has something to do with that ad.

I did send in a note to Google about it.

Do you have an ad blocker? I've had trouble before because of that, and had to switch to another ad blocker.

Blessings in Christ Jesus Debp. Since you mentioned your email, I would check for viruses or hidden malware. Run all you scans to be safe. Blessings!

I posted a video link that didn't play the specific video. The link just went to the YouTube site itself.

I only have an ad blocker which comes with the Vivaldi browser I use for getting on the forum.

I have a YouTube app which came with my Android tablet. I use that for viewing the videos. I have never had a problem with watching videos on YouTube until about two nights ago.

Just now when I turned my tablet on, I was able to watch one video. Now everything is buffering again, not even ads play.

I have an Android tablet. I heard they don't get viruses. I don't know anything about running scans.

P.S. I did another technical report to Google about it. So far so good....ads and video are now playing. Hopefully it continues!

Thanks for everyone's input.

Its probably something to do with HOW AI responds to things .
That wacked out thing cannot discern . heck its messing up even phone calls
blocking certain people from being able to make international calls
Its not real , IT cannot discern , its programmed and cannot always tell the difference .
So much for AI .
