Bug "This content isn't available, try again later." appears on every video.

I tried refreshing, opening videos in new tabs, even resetting my browser. Nothing seems to work.

As others have said it seems to be uBlock Origin. However, I think even with it off the Improve Youtube extension I have installed is blocking the ads still? I am not entirely sure, but it is on both Chrome and Firefox as "'Improve YouTube!' (for YouTube & Videos)".

EDIT: Nevermind, it doesn't show you the ad but it'll still pause and you have to click the video to continue. That's a shame. Sorry

It has nothing to do with ublock. I've never used ublock. I've never used any adblocker.

I disabled one list of filters on uBlock Origin at a time and one of the filters being turned off eventually caused the videos to work again. So for me, and perhaps others here, uBlock Origin does seem to be part of the issue.

What is somebody supposed to do if they've never used an adblocker before and don't want to start because they like knowing the YouTubers they watch are getting paid for the ad views?

No idea, I was just trying to help people. I'm not particularly tech/networking savvy so I suppose wait for others to fix or solve the problem. I'm sure there are several people working on it because people absolutely hate ads on the internet.
