They do that with every kind of video you watch. Sometimes for videos you don't watch or even videos you've deleted from your history is an attempt to not get those videos in the first place.

Why does YT have so much trouble playing anything over 360p anymore? Either the video won't load, will only buffer like two seconds at a time, or just goes straight to an exclamation point inside a circle.

Okay, I'm about ready to blow my brains out here: now whenever you watch a video from the music category, YT forces a bunch of playlists and mixes on you that featured those music videos you've watched - honestly, you can't even login with it shoving a bunch of mix playlists in your face. Big irritant.
I agree. I hate when that happens.

Youtube Red, because people are totally going to cough up $9.99 a month to get ad free videos.

Again, do what I do: get multiple ad-blockers; I have AdFender and Adblock Plus for Internet Explorer; I never have to watch commercials before videos.

I have Adblock Plus for Google Chrome and Firefox.

I don't know what they broke now, but whenever you try to watch a video fullscreen, the entire screen is distorted: even the video player itself is distorted - everything is blurry and pixelated, no matter what playback quality you've selected; even the video player is blurry and pixelated/
As it turns out, that only happens when you try to watch a 4:3 video in fullscreen, for whatever reason I'm sure has to do with how anti-4:3 everything is now.

So apparently YT isn't working at all today: not a single video will load or buffer - even after refreshing the page over twenty times, it still won't load.

That's weird... I didn't have exactly the same problem you had, but I saw that some of my comments oddly disappeared. They're back now, though.

All the videos have been working fine but for some reason none of the comments were loading yesterday.
