Ask HN: Anyone getting "Something went wrong" on YouTube?

1 points by asib 2y ago ↗ HN

For the past 2ish days, the YT home page only has shown "Something went wrong". If I go to one of the other tabs (shorts, subscriptions) or visit an actual video, everything is fine.

Is this happening to anyone else?

sweet summer child. like youtube, you're learning that an arms race against adblockers is futile.

enjoy the random bugs. use the time to explore alternatives until youtube learn their lesson like everyone before them.

I've been using an adblocker for decades and never encountered this. Is that really all it is?
