I wondered if this bothers anyone else -

Over the last year at least, YT pages load slowly (like the page is redrawn and reformatted while you're staring at it). And playing a YT video seems to:

1. result in AN ERROR OCCURRED - PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER (with a long alphanumeric code)

and/or

2. show in a window that nearly covers the screen, with all comments dropped way down under other YT previews, and controls like Play/Pause, Audio, etc, now hidden below bottom of screen.

"Default view" (smaller video) is no longer the default view.

This happens whether or not I'm "signed in" to YT. There are thousands of web comments on these "enhancements".

I have experienced none of the problems you list. I"m on youtube almost everyday.
 
The one thing I notice is that an HD video (such as a drone video I've uploaded) might taken 15-20 seconds for the full HD (high resolution) to kick in. Maybe that's my ISP.
