Youtube Problem

Apparently Youtube is having some issues loading the certain pages and your best bet is that it's a 'YouTube Now' hot fix gone a-rye.

YoutTube Now

Back in august Youtube announced some changes they were going to be making to Youtube. Youtube felt it was necessary to update what they call 'video discovery features'.

The Youtube 'video discovery features' changes are no doubt still being implemented as we speak and are probably the cause of the strange Youtube page loading issues. Rest assured, it's not a permanent problem so don't panic.
