Comments on YouTube videos are failing to load and anti-adblock measures may be to blame
"YouTube is having trouble with loading the comment section under its videos - some think that this is an anti-adblock measure. Multiple users on Reddit are reporting encountering the issue. For some, the video description also fails to load, not just the comments. People have tried multiple workarounds, e.g. refreshing the page seems to work occasionally, which suggests that this is a regular site issue. However, the most reliable "workaround" discovered so far is turning off the ad blocker."
"What's curious is that even some YouTube Premium subscribers are affected. With previous anti-adblock measures, Google spared Premium users, but this time they may have suffered some collateral damage. Recently, Google closed the background playback loopholes for free users (but the feature is still available to Premium subscribers) and started limiting lyrics on YouTube Music (free users get to see 5 lyrics a month)."
YouTube is experiencing an issue where comment sections under videos sometimes fail to load, and video descriptions also fail to load for some users. Multiple Reddit users report the problem, and refreshing the page occasionally restores comments, indicating a regular site issue. The most reliable workaround reported so far is disabling ad blockers, suggesting an adblock-related trigger. Some YouTube Premium subscribers are affected, which contrasts with prior anti-adblock measures that spared Premium users. Recent Google changes removed background playback loopholes for free users and limited YouTube Music lyrics for free accounts to five per month. Reports vary across browsers and configurations.
