• has youtube been exceptionally shit recently?
    23 replies, posted
just wondering because videos seem to only load when they feel like and not buffer at random intervals.
they were like that for me a few weeks ago but they've gotten better so I don't know what was wrong.
I don't like how the layout is now, can't find my messages/comment notifications easily. And the whole you need to incorporate a google account now is bullshit.
The worst part is that when I click to see what it might be it comes up with a list of reasons why it's my fault, and mocks me with a little box asking me if my connection is too slow. Of course Youtube, my 60mbps internet is clearly too slow, definitely not you being rubbish.
It got me thinking my internet was shitting. I hope the shit stops hitting the fan over there...
Thank god I'm not the only one who is experiencing this. I thought my internet was going bad
I get that problem where when you try to watch some videos they don't load... at all and don't even buffer just sit there on a blank screen.
Is anyone having issues with videos starting like 3 minutes in?
I've had a few off and on where they'd reach a certain point and then just never progress.
Ugh yes My videos will randomly drop to the lowest quality sometime, or get about halfway in a video then stop streaming past that point It gives me the shits [editline]3rd June 2013[/editline] But tbh I thought it was just me so it's good to know it's just Youtube fucking everything up for everyone

It sucks.
I wish they'd stop fucking about with awful layout changes and fix the actual problems that are stopping people from watching videos Fuck One Channel so much, channels are so boring to look at now, in about a years time we will get profile pictures and NOTHING else, calling it now.
Could it be due to the recent ISP throttling? [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/13kmvd/have_time_warner_internet_but_can_barely_stream/[/url]

Unless the ISPs are throttling YouTube itself :tinfoil:
Yeah, sometimes my videos would load up on 144p by default.
My videos only load when they're playing, so i can't pause and wait for them to buffer. Anyone else have this problem?
Oddly I've been having the exact opposite problem as the OP recently. For over a year I've had serious issues with Youtube most of the time and for about a month now I've had no issues whatsoever with it.
Yeah, say I'm watching a 20 minute video but when I come to the 9 minute mark it just sets the end there and you have to refresh
Some videos are incredibly slow at loading, even at 240p Some work just fine though

Apparently Youtube doesn't like me talking about it not being shit for once so it decided to start being shit again.

Had to jump through a few hoops but the videos are actually buffering now. Even if you're not on Time Warner, try it.
On my android its messing up but on my pc its fine
I'd REALLY advise everyone to block the IP they state in that reddit thread, worked perfectly, videos load as quickly in 1080p as they did in 240p now. Only a matter of time before google finds out and circumvents it somehow.
