Comment on Google says adblockers caused YouTube views count to drop - this is what adblockers told us really happened
I have the same problem, and after you start clicking play, often you can wait it out and the video will play on its own
This mostly happens when you use youtube while being logged into a google account. I fixed this by using firefox containers + addons.mozilla.org/en-US/…/switch-container/
also has the nice benefit of not messing up your reccomendations when clicking on random yt-links from other sites
This does not work on phone OSes
I use Grayjay on Android, and it tends to do a good job. I can have subscriptions w/o being logged in to my YT account, and videos load after 5 secs or so every time.
Thank you. You are the best
