@neauoire @vaviurka got that thing and it refused to play anything anymore.

I wondered why I wasn't getting it and the difference was adding "Fanboy's Annoyance List" to uBlock origin.

They'll "fix" that eventually and ultimately probably put everyones content behind a paywall, at which point people go on Peertube or some such, but grieve for all the old content being lost (and rejoice at no more shorts).

So start downloading the youtubes while you can.
