YouTube is officially the worst video website for me. I never had a problem with it before, but lately it's just been absolute shit. Any other website is able to load HD quality fullscreen videos with no problems whatsoever. YouTube can barely load a 480p video; buffers every 5 goddamn seconds and then takes a shit on the quality pushing it down to 144p. It's ridiculous because if I try to watch a 7 second Vine someone posted in LMAO Pics or something, it has to buffer 2 seconds in. My subscriptions upload daily and I hate to have to watch some on their own website, but others on YouTube.
TL;DR: YouTube is complete garbage and I need a Chrome extension or some other kind of fix so the videos don't take ages to load/buffer every 5 seconds. It's not my connection, because I can load other website's videos just fine.

This is helpful. I'm not sure if it will entirely fix your streaming problem, though.
try disabling dash playback
you can try this:

it's a light version of YouTube that only has the video player, description, and related videos basically.

This is a very useful tool. Sadly, it doesn't fix the streaming issue. Right now it seems useless for me since it is still slow :c

This also did not work
my top bar that shows my likes, favs etc has gone for me
the icon for my profile just takes me to google plus
this is only for chrome, works like normal on firefox
Youtube's been buggy as hell for my chrome as of late.
Back button not working, videos not able to be replayed, playback controls like pause/volume not working, and of course the streaming issue OP has.
Hell sometimes it won't even attempt to buffer anything past that and gets locked to that one frame until I refresh, most of this just started happening at random recently too.
This has helped me.

Just get YouTube Center and it will fix most of the issues.
Not strictly relevant, but I like having this script on FF so you can find out the opinion of a video before you click it: [URL="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-ratings-preview/"]https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-ratings-preview/[/URL]

I remember the pre-iOS 5 Youtube app had a feature like this.

I don't know if it's in "bad form" to just host it off of my Dropbox but here you go:

YouTube Center's fixed so many of my problems with the site. That in conjunction with Magic Action's Day/Night switch has made the site much better to use.
!!111!GIMMOK IS GOD OF FAST THREADS ALL WILL BOW BEFORE ME AND SAY HORSERADISH!!!1111
I thought I'd say something...
I want youtube to fix the comments.
Now I can't track any comment anymore, I have to go digging.
And for fucks sake... All people do on videos now-a-days is post tanks and say a 'war' is going to happen...
Tbh, I don't think I can find the previous top comments anymore. It's just that broken...
Now youtube says they're not going to revert it back to the original, but they're just being fucking ignorant and selfish.
I sincerely hope they fix this in the near future...
