Comments on YouTube videos are failing to load and anti-adblock measures may be to blame | Infinium-tech
YouTube is having trouble loading the comments section under its videos – some people think this is an anti-ad-block measure. Many users on Reddit are reporting experiencing this issue. For some people, not only the comments but also the video description fails to load.
People have tried several solutions, for example refreshing the page sometimes works, which suggests this is a regular site issue. However, the most reliable “workaround” discovered so far is to turn off the ad blocker.
Comments and video descriptions are failing to load for some users
Interestingly, some YouTube Premium subscribers are also affected. With previous anti-adblock measures, Google spared premium users, but this time they may suffer some additional damage.
Recently, Google closed the background playback loophole for free users (but the feature is still available to premium subscribers) and started limiting song views on YouTube Music (free users get to watch 5 songs per month).
For what it’s worth, a quick check with Chrome + uBlock Origin Lite revealed no issues on the YouTube Premium account (even when signed out). Are you seeing this issue?
