Ask HN: Are YouTube Comments Working? 21 points by danuker 4y ago ↗ HN I see that there are YouTube comments (i.e. 757 Comments), but I don't see them, only the text box to enter a new one.
[–] themodelplumber 4y ago ↗ Same here. It seems like it's trying to load them though, showing the spinning indicator.
[–] saltminer 4y ago ↗ In addition to YouTube comments, I can't load Google Photos conversations with people I've shared photos to or activity on shared albums. [–] [dead] bigedgefan 4y ago ↗
[–] mftb 4y ago ↗ Same. Have you looked at client vs server? I'm on FF on Linux. [–] danuker 4y ago ↗ Same here. They seem to load now.
[–] newbieuser 4y ago ↗ Are these errors regional or general? Are there cases where applications such as youtube run services in different versions depending on the region? [–] [dead] bigedgefan 4y ago ↗
[–] zoomablemind 4y ago ↗ Loading progress...then no actual comments shown.FF on Linux.Ok in FF on Android. [–] [dead] bigedgefan 4y ago ↗
[–] TheFreim 4y ago ↗ I disabled uBlock and they started showing up again. [–] bigedgefan 4y ago ↗ i always use ublock
[–] lioeters 4y ago ↗ YouTube comments have been broken for me for a while now (a year or two) on Firefox with uBlock. I see the comments list and avatars, but no text. I don't mind it enough to disable uBlock.
[–] trebor 4y ago ↗ I think this is intentional behavior on Google’s part, to disincentivize use of ad blockers.
[–] the_only_law 4y ago ↗ Man I'm glad I wasn't the only one.I'm on a bottom bin Android device right now, and chalked it up to the instability of the device fucking something up again
